Tabled motion from 2004:
- Motion that junior winners of championship classes receive a travel reimbursement
as an incentive to enter the Canadian Championships. (Amendment: Juniors be reimbursed in class as to where each finished in the top half. Carried)
- Resolutions:
1. Proposed amendment to the Canadian Hall of Fame criteria::
- Item 1: That a separate Hall of Fame Category be established known as "Female Organizer/Administrator".
Reason: Since 1988 only one lady has been elected in the Male/Female Category, namely Sharon Ellison in 1995.
Many nominees would be eligible across Canada in the new division. The same order of selection could be maintained with
separate Female and Male ballots in the same year.
- Item 2: That, should a nominee for one of the categories be related to a Hall of Fame Committee Member (a voting member)
his/her ballot be voided from the tabulation of votes. This to be done each time it occurs. Reason: it is unfair
to the other nominees to have the committee member cast his/her maximum vote for him/herself or a family member.
Alternately, an extra voting delegate could be appointed or elected to fill the void on those particular years.
- Item 3: That after three unsuccessful entries on the ballot, the nominee's name be dropped from the list, with the provision that
he/she may be re-nominated. (Proposed by Tom Hawkins, seconded by Dorothy Butts, B.C.).
2. That plaque type trophies for the 8 Championship Classes be made and that a box also be made to hold them for easy shipping.
Reason: The trophies that we have now are too big and too expensive to send to the Canadians each year. A motion was passed a few years ago
that the trophies be kept in Calgary and not be sent to the tournament each year because of the cost. If there was only one box
to send each year it would be much less costly to do so and then the Champions could have their photos taken with the plaque at the
banquet as was done in previous years. Proposed by Dianne Beck, seconded by Kay McKay.
