NEW BUSINESS The Westerman proposal for charges for the trial was discussed. In general, it was proposed to charge the club $25 per entry to include secretary fees, stock handling, facility use, stock and portable toilet.
There was an alternative of $20 per entry for all except secretary fees or $15 per entry for facility use, stock and portable toilet only.
