Be sure to like Slingin’ Discs on Facebook to get special promotions, and remember a portion of the proceeds helps to benefit our club!

Slingin’ Discs will run our e-commerce portion of the business and donate a portion of the proceeds to the club. This is amazing for us since we will no longer have to manage our own inventory and tie up club funds on discs. This will also allow us to leverage our online presence to gain greater exposure to the club. Slingin Discs will also take the lead on promoting and marketing all sales. Please go out and support the websites

For the new members, our meetings are very informal, usually meeting over dinner and no voting really happens just discussion. Voting is reserved for topics where there is no clear consensus. That said, this meeting was highly productive and we discussed several topics.

1. Club dues – $20 dollars is to much, however, the club can not fund everything. Dues were changed to $10, and members agreed to pay more out of pocket for expenses that they want to participate in, i.e. Shirts, Tourneys, Discs, Fundraisers.

2. Club Shirts – the goal is to have a dry fit t-shirt with club logo and 3 to 10 sponsors on the back. Members who want a shirt will only need to pay “club cost” for the shirts. These are especially nice to wear to local and regional tournaments during the summer months. We need to meet a minimum order, most places require 7 – 10 shirts as a minimum. Robey will be responsible for the design the shirt, bidding out the cost, and placing the order. If you are interested in getting a shirt, please let him know what size you need, the t-shirt order will likely be placed in May.

3. Club Discs – Robey (again) has gotten an Innova catalog. We’d like to order custom discs with the club logo on it. Minimum order is 50 discs, and Robey will pay for them out of pocket. The discs will be used for fund raising purposes and extras will be posted up for sale. Again, if you are interested in a specific disc from innova, let Robey know so he can order it for you. Which disc/plastic you want will depend on the cost, any presales will only be charged the cost of the disc. Fund raising will be left to the extras left over donated by Robey.

4. Weekly Minis and/or Monthlies – We are looking for somebody to run these this year, Hunter/Kyle we are looking at you. Jeff is to busy and out of pocket lately. As the weather gets nicer, we will begin the summer season. As a correction of errors, we would like to see at least a monthly schedule posted and who is the “director” for that week. If the “director” has something come up then, either he needs to find a replacement or a pre-designated “second-in-command” to run the weekly.

5. NWA Naturals Disc Golf Night – Several things need to happen here. First, the date selected was September 1st so A. it gives us plenty of time to prepare and B. it is a Thirsty-Thursday at the park. Next, this is a ticket selling fundraiser. We need to sell 100 tickets to be eligible for the fundraiser. If we sell 100 – 199 tickets we get $3 back from every ticket sold. If we sell 200 or more we get $4 back from every ticket sold. During the game, we will be featured on the score board between innings, they will run pictures and video. We need pictures of everyone playing disc golf (preferably in your club shirts!) We also need video clips of people playing, these will be played during unexpected breaks, such as, a pitching change. Lastly, after the game we will be allowed to take portable baskets into the outfield and throw discs around. These are all the basic benefits for the club. There are also benefits for the highest ticket sellers, things like autographed baseballs/tours of the facility etc. etc. See Robey for more details.

6. $800 dollars from the NWA Naturals Disc Golf Night would make a nice payout for a “End of the Summer” (better name to be determined later) tournament. Everyone start thinking about possible sponsors for an event to come. Let them know we have advertising space available on our shirts too!

7. Contact List – we are still trying to collect info from everyone, there were quite a few “regulars” absent from the last meeting. Right now the Facebook Page seems to be the best way to get a hold of everyone. If you are not a fan, well… fan it up.

Thanks to everyone who attended for a great meeting. Looking forward to the next one, April 13th. The location is yet to be determined and we will notify everyone as best we can as it gets closer to time.

On the agenda:

• Club Shirts
• Club Discs – fundraiser
• NWA Naturals Disc Golf Night fundraiser
• Weekly Minis
• Spring/Summer Tourney

So let everyone you play with know about this meeting and remember it is a new year so please pay your club dues. Returning Members renewal is only $10, New Member registration is $20.

We are still putting together a contact list. We want to make sure everyone is on it so if you haven’t done so, please contact Jeff or myself with your email address and/or phone number. This will ensure that you don’t miss out on anything. After the list has been sent out if you notice that you or someone else has been left off. Please update us and we will send out a revised list as many times as needed.

It is a new year, and that means new dues. The dues structure for 2011 is the same as 2010. New membership registration dues are $20, Membership renewals are $10. If you have any questions about the status of your membership please do not hesitate to ask. Remember, being a paid member gets you plenty of benefits, including voting privileges and discounted entry fees to events.

The first meeting for 2011! We are shooting for the first week of February. No specific date has been set yet. We wanted to reach out the group to see when was best for the majority. Please respond with a range days and times that are best for you then we will communicate again when/where the meeting will be held.

Icebowl Series, Evan McKee posted dates and locations on the forums, check them out.

In an effort to keep the website up to date, current, and fresh, we would love to hear from you. Send us an email with a little biography about yourself. How long have you been playing, favorite course, etc. We will feature a player once a month. We are also looking for content to post about club activities, whether it is just a weekly, or a couple members playing for fun so send us your pictures. We’d love to post them on the website.

Also, many of you might be curious about the Arkansas Naturals Disc Golf event. We will be meeting with their representative next week to gather more information about the event and will present it to the club during the meeting in February.

Lets make 2011 a great year for the club, and go out and have fun!

Directions can be found on the flyer. The flyer can be found here.

Our 1st Annual October Glow Event was a huge success. We had the largest turn out to date. Keep recruiting everyone! A big thanks goes out to our sponsors and Jeff “City” who did an awesome job organizing the event and collecting donations for prizes. The players pack was a welcomed change of pace for our usual events, and now everyone can come out for Wednesday night weeklies after sunset.
How many events can you go to where the person who takes last place in the Rec league and last place in the ring of fire walks away with a prize? Just one that I know of… (Although it was for CTP and not last place)
