Old Business-
We did not get the Area 3 show for 2019. So we are going to run the 2019 Spring Fling Show like an Area Show so we can qualify for the coming years.
There is a request from a judge, Steve Lampson, to judge our 2019 Spring Fling. Karen Hunter has sent his information to Laura Mullen.
2019 Spring Fling show was discussed. Suggestions made were:
• offer ASPC/AMHR/Pinto classes over the 3 day show
• make ASPC on Friday start between 8 and 10 am
• Give start time for AMHR classes to begin no earlier than 3 pm on Friday
• There were some classes suggested to be added that are not required by the Area
Show criteria...aspc classic obstacle in hand and driving
• 1400.00 needed by end of December for holding the show date in April 2019
Sponsorship committee...Katie Pulley, Diane Edwards and Kelly Joyner have gotten multiple sponsorships and items donated for use at club discretion for the 2019 show season.
An account has been set up with Custom Ink online to order ECMHC t-shirts. There are 2 different designs(one black, one gray) and the cost is $20.00 a t-shirt. Once logged into CustomInk.com search for East Club Miniature Horse Club. This series runs for four
weeks, November 8-December 6, 2018. After this series is done the club will start a new series with the 2019 Spring Fling logo on the t-shirts. Design will be decided on before time to start new series.
Dee Pellegrino has started on the quilt she is donating to the club for raffling at the 2019 Spring Fling Show. She has gotten the top completed and it will be the size of a Queen bed.

Memberships need to be renewed as soon as possible. New Business-
It was asked if we allow PayPal for shows and the answer is yes. It was suggested we raise the convenience fee from 3% to 5%. All were in favor of it.
Diane Edwards purposed a motion that we do away with 3rd-6th Year End awards for 2019 since the budget is so tight. Angie Wilkerson and Katie Pulley second. All in favor, motion passed. It will be looked into giving High Point Awards at the 2019 Spring Fling instead.
Karen Hunter proposed that we do away with including the Virginia Spring Thaw show in our Year End calculations for Awards, instead use the Raleigh State Fair Miniature Horse Show. All were in favor. End Of Year Awards Program section of website will need to be updated to reflect changes.

All memberships need to be completed in Tammy’s hands by April 1st 2019.
