Things Discussed
Concerns about Competitions in the August holiday period.
Could We get a central venue for competitions.
All present gave their consent to more SAM competitions, this
would give smaller troupes who could not hold a competition
chance to get involved and let troupes have a competition where
there was no SAM Ruled competition being run.
Times were discussed at length and all host troupes would try to
stick to their timing and with the cut down times for routines should help.
Additional items for the judges notes were agreed
Steve to discuss cheer score sheets with Kirsty of Sensations and
Jenny of Hot Shots.
Brian Is looking in to an alternative to lorries for the judges at competitions
also Steve to talk to Barry of destiny.
All Troupes to let Steve have 10 1st Class stamped addressed A4 envelopes.
All troupes to try and support each other at competitions.
