Broward, Palm Beach, Melbourne, Brandon, Tampa.
Clubs Absent: without
representation: Gulf Coast, Orlando.
Board Members Present:
Marvin Erbesfeld, Jack St.Clair, Sheila Cardoso, Perry Walter, Steve

Agenda items voted on:
A)Each
NAMBA District 3 registered club will have one vote in conjunction
with the voting District Board of Directors on all District 3
administrative decisions. Club votes will be cast by the respective
club President or club Appointee. Passed
B) Amend General Rule #9 to read (changes in italics):
Each NAMBA District 3 registered club President or club Appointee
and the voting District Board of Directors will construct the
upcoming race schedule for the following year. No additional
High Points races will be added to the race schedule for the year,
once the voting District Board of Directors and club
Presidents or Appointees have approved the race schedule. If a
club is unable to host a race that has been scheduled, another club
may host that race in its place, pending the District Director,
voting District Board of Directors, and club Presidents or
Appointees approval. Rescheduling of any race will require the
approval of the District Director, voting District Board of
Directors, and club Presidents/Appointees.
Passed
C) The final race for the racing season will be a Double
Points Final. Place points for this race will be doubled when
tallied for District High Points awards. (Example: 1st place
400=800, 2nd place 300=600, 3rd place 225=450, etc. thru 8th place.)
Passed
A discussion of the high points race
series was then undertaken.
The 2012 NAMBA District 3 High
Points Race Season will consist of 8 races. Thus all of the District
3 clubs may host one race. All points earned at all of the 8 races
will count toward the high points race series.
The last race held in November will
be a double points event so as to give racers who
could not attend all the races a chance to be competitive and
increase attendance at the final race.
The annual banquet was discussed and
5 of the 6 clubs present voted to continue having the event and
supporting it as before with the $3.00 per boat contribution based
on entries at each high point race. Approximately 5-6 hundred
dollars are needed to pay for accounting and legal corporate
expenses, the rest to be used as in the past for awards. The Tampa
Bay Model Boat Association stated that they are having internal
problems and will not be able to host the banquet. At their next
club meeting, the Space Coast Rudder Busters will discuss hosting
the banquet and advise the board. If they are unable to host the
banquet, they plan on giving out the 2011 High Points trophies at
the end of their race (January 14-15, 2012 in Melbourne). As a
matter of record the banquet was hosted 3 times by Palm Beach, 4
times by Brandon, 1 time by Miami, 1 time by Orlando, 1 time by
Broward, and 1 time by Melbourne.
