It was stated that some members are coaching for a fee. The BPAC rule is that paid coaches need to be registered with the city. These members need to know that no paid coaching should be done until they these required parameters are met. Action Items:
- SDTTA Picnic: The picnic scheduled for 8/13 has been rescheduled to Sept 17th, Sat from 12 – 3 pm. Ron will contact Daryl to make these changes on our website and see about setting up a place where members can sign up and what dish they will bring to share for the potluck. Ron will change the date with BPAC director, Michelle.
- Treasurer’s Report: Bill passed out the treasurer’s report that is reconciled through July 31, 2011 and is posted on our equipment room board. One sold table ($500) is included in the treasurer’s report and two more sold tables ($1,000) will be reported on next month’s report.
- Equipment and membership report: We have around 250 members at this time. Borko has started a free senior coaching class held on Saturday from 12 – 2 pm which promotes table tennis for new players and membership. Thank you Borko. The SDTTA will purchase practice balls for this training. Mark made a motion to change junior membership fees for 2011 effective July 12 from $30 to $15. It was seconded by Jock. The motion was passed 6 to 1. Shelley felt that the fee should have been $20.
- Executive Director’s report: No report.
- Peewee/Jr Report. No report.
- New Business:
- Christian Lillieroos went to the BPAC meeting in August. The next BPAC meeting is October 5th at 6 pm and held in BPAC meeting room. He stated that there were 3 SDTTA members present and around 15 people were present. His observations were as follows:
- The open volley ball league tournament charged an admittance fee and recommended to SDTTA that we could also charge at our SDTTA sponsored tournaments as a source of revenue for our club.
- BPAC was satisfied with the $575 our club paid for profits.
- When asking BPAC about using 1/3 of the center for activities outside of SDTTA’s paid hours, Christian was told that is was a staffing issue which included paying staff for their time and it may included overtime pay.
- The fact that SDTTA splits the activity space 50/50 with Badminton while we only use 1/3 of the space was brought up and that our club needs to investigate and make what changes we can to make it equal and or fair.
- SDTTA has reserved the activity center for a tournament which will be held in October. Mustafa contacted Ron and wants to know what size tournament we should have. The board discussed that a 3 star tournament would be a good place to start. Mustafa will be invited to come back with a subcommittee to keep us informed at our next board meeting.
Turn in your forms!
July 31st, 2011
If you received a survey form last week (Thursday or Friday) it is extremely important that you fill it out on both sides and turn it into the box at the front of the Balboa Park Activity Center. Not only is it important to turn it in so that the city can see the results, but also because you cannot get another one! They have passed out the maximum amount of forms allocated to the building, so that’s it!

Taking Care of SDTTA Equipment
July 14th, 2011
Dear members of the SDTTA,
The board has been taking in consideration that club equipment is not being treated as carefully as it should be. The tables, barriers and nets are all delicate and expensive items which we need to last for as long as possible. In addition, the large barriers we use at the ends of our space have been discontinued. So, we will never be able to replace them. We need everyone help to make our equipment last. There is also a need for everyone to recognize that putting up equipment at the end of the day is everyone’s job. It is not fair to leave this chore to a few late players night after night.
Henceforth, this will be the clean-up policy going forward:
1. If you finish playing within one hour of closing, you must put away your table. Also, surrounding barriers must be put away unless neighboring players agree to put them away instead.
2. Be sure to also pick up any broken balls and/or water bottles that surround your table.
Thank you,
SDTTA Board
