they reported to see what is going on. If there is a problem we certainly
want it corrected.
Charles Cummings was at the meeting to let the board know that he felt
we had a problem at Stimpson Field due to the lateness of the games they
this year. That in some cases the games were lasting until at least 11:20
and that he felt that this was a little late. That he was not against the
field being used but he also needed his rest. He was advised that this
could be worked out, that we will certainly get with the group running
this year and see why games running so late and what we can do to alleviate
the problem.
At this time Mike Ford asked about why there were no water fountains at
Stimpson. He was told that they are continually broken off as soon as
they are installed. That there is a hydrant in the restrooms and they need
to bring water with them when they play.

course and should have them ready in about a week. The problems
brought up about the golf facility were discussed again and it was decided
