Is there a list of who has been nominated for what? This information should be displayed somewhere.

Have the current club members been notified that this is actually going on through an email, phone call, or, at the very least, a posting at Steily & Riverside?

The info has been posted at both courses. I tried to send an email but I was given out of date email addresses. Rob dean was working on an updated email listso we can get the info out. I am not sure when the list of nominees will be made public. Most likely after the nominations are closed which is after the 1st. This all depends on the people running this thing. I am just a messanger.

Uh-oh!
Looks like the PCDGA site has been hijacked! There is not any information there about joining the PCDGA.
Some lonely/obsessed folfer has turned the site into some kind of Shawna Buzzingham fan/tribute site.

Kind of creepy!

[Rideout]

The site seems to be working fine.


I think it's good that the info is posted at the course. All I've been hearing from the club lately is how they are waiting on Rob Dean for things; I'm curious if you'll ever get that updated email list.

Chris, I know you are just the messenger. This club tried to have a vote 6 months ago and put it off so they could get their act together. At the last club meeting it seemed as though the elections were not even going to be discussed. That's why I brought the elections up and then it was easy to see that very little thought had gone into the election process at all. They claimed that a few of their hold ups were due to waiting on Rob Dean.

I think that it is important for people to inform themselves. It's frustrating when the powers that be don't give their people a reliable source for information.

I am really really looking forward to a few new board members.

What are the responsibilities of the Riverside Rep? Would this person be required to run tournaments, even the weekly Ace Pots? And...what else? This person I realize has a be a Club Member 60 days prior to nominations and/or elections. Too bad there wasn't a bit more notice, as I'm not even sure there's time for new people to join the club and still be eligible for election....would have to check that out and do the math. The posting at Riverside was hung up just a few days after the stealing of the baskets, so very recently. Is this position re-elected yearly? Will the number of votes be posted for the members to see?

I've run into several golfers over the last couple of days, friendly family players and casual golfers, who would enjoy representing the course. Would this even work, or is the club's goal to have a tournament player in this position rather than someone who enjoys the quiet atmosphere of casual play that goes on all day, every day of the week? Hopefully both tournament and family play will be supported as these changes occur. Please give friendly, helpful and inviting feedback!

Do you guys want your own sub-forum on here?

[Rideout]

I am not any kind of official spokesperson for the club but I try to stay very active, involved, and informed on the club's matters.

IMO... I think it would be better to keep this info posted here, as opposed to a sub-forum, because we still have people who have a hard time finding any info. The easier it is to see, esspecially leading up to a big vote, the better.

I Think... The Riverside Rep is a newer position. I'm not sure about all of the position's responsabilites, but I think it was first formed to help with the communication between Riverside locals and the rest of the club. When the club took over the county contract with the park; there was a lot of confusion.

I too hope that the importance of the position focuses on both the family friendly and tournament atmosheres of the park.

I hope this helps. A board member from the club should chime in.

What is this website you speak of?

[Rideout]

Sorry, I guess that is important information.

Here is the new Pierce County Disc Golf Players Association (PCDGPA) website:

Excellent... the people who wanted to get nominated, were not nominated. So now the nominations have been extended. Unless, of course, there's another reason which a club board member is going to make us aware of. Pretty sure there's just a couple of butt hurt board members that are now going to make sure they get nominated by the new deadline.

What a joke!!

How long do you have to be a member before you can vote?

First I will say that this is Alisa not Mark. And Mike there is no joke ..... It appears that only one board member is not up for re-election. Trust me there is no butt hurt there. I, more then anyone else, want new board members. I am so tired of all the people who have sat on this forum and complained about all the things the club has or has not done but wont come to meetings and give positive input. Well FINALLY after all these years there are new people who want to help and want to be board members. Is say more power to them.... I applaud them for stepping up and hope they make the clubs stronger and have lots of support. Nominations are closed, those nominated need to come to the meeting on the 29th to accept the nominations. Disc golf is suppose to be fun.

[discgolfers-R-LAZY]

#1 you have to be a member for 30 days to vote it has been that way for as long as i have been a club member. #2 nominations were posted with the wrong dates on this website( at the club meeting we said they would be open for a month and they were) if someone wanted to be nominated they had plenty of time to get a club member to nominate them.ANYONE THAT WANTS INFO FOR THE CLUB GO TO PIERCECOUNTYDISCGOLF.COM. that is where you can get the CORRECT info on the club. MIKE RIDEOUT FOR CLUB PRESIDENT VOTING WILL BE ON OCTOBER 15 thru THE 17TH (state championship doubles weekend) and should have them counted by tuesday the 19th

[Rideout]

It's good to see a board member get on here and clear some stuff up.

Mike Rideout (me) will not be accepting the nomination for club president. I will continue to work with whoever does get elected (if they'll work with me) and continue to try and grow the sport of disc golf in Pierce County.
