Notes:

The Pink Panthers are no longer a team.

They will be receiving a letter from Kerri with in the next month.

We discussed the amount of players each team should have on their roster.

Suggestions of filling up all teams rosters with 15 was voted down.

Any new players that want to play in the league will be placed on a team that needs players. Teams will not be forced to take anyone new if they don’t want to.

We discussed finding out how other leagues get new players involved.

We will do some research on other leagues and discuss any findings at the next meeting.

The umpire situation is still the same.

The head umpire Mike will be asked to join us at the next meeting for further discussion on how we can get them to show up. We will be discussing a pay raise for them if necessary.

Registration Day 2006 will be on April 8^th at Southers Marsh.

The time will be from 1:00 –4:00. A form will be sent to all the players in the league and all the reps. If anyone has access to a bulletin board around their town, we ask that you print some out and post the info up. We really want to push getting some new teams.

Banquet info has not yet been finalized. More info to come for the next meeting.

The Scholarship meeting will be held on April 13 at 6:30PM.

Anyone interested please come to the Carver Library.

The All Star game suggested date was July 29^th.

We are going to try and have it at Forges Field this year.

Our second choice will be at Steven’s field.

We discussed a breakable fence so that the players have a better chance

of getting home runs. We will also be purchasing better balls this year.

More discussions of how it will be set up for the next meeting.

The Plympton has a new name for the 2006 season.

They will now be called “Moore Dogs”

Scheduling software was discussed for this years games.

We do not have any specific products in mind but are certainly exploring as many different companies as we can.

The vote for spending up to $200 for this software was passed by everyone at the meeting.

An adjustment was made in the By-Laws about the age of the players.

A player must be 18 years old as of May 1^st.

It was voted on and all agreed that all protests must be documented in the score book before the game is over and signed by the official umpire.

Next meeting will be at 7:00 PM on April 12, 2006 at the Upland Club
