Paulette Migie volunteered to assume the position of Tournament Chairperson.

Marlene Pontifex reported that sanction for the November Tournament has not been obtained as date has not been set. Date set for November 13/16, 2014.

Lengthy discussion followed regarding Unit options for both temporary and long term playing sites. Marielle Brentnall reviewed the results of the locations that had been seen and none had met all three of our needs that being price, square footage and parking. Doug Fisher will look into Assiniboina Downs and John Hindle will look further into using Winnipeg South Technical School for tournaments. Sir John Franklin community club is a possible long term venue once their renovations are completed this fall.

Motion: moved that a subcommittee be established to negotiate with Winnipeg South Technical School for sectionals and to continue discussion with St. John Franklin community club or other alternatives for both short and long term use, seconded by Marlene Pontifex. Carried
