New Business

The NMATC trailer was broken into sometime late fall or winter.  The items stolen are as follows:   2 tool boxes, pins to hold the signs, rachets, extension cords, plyers, vice-grips, tent stakes, 2 sled monitors, scale head, sound system except for speakers, book with tractor rpms, tachometer and lock with key; Discussed scales and options - Motion for Phil to continue to look into scales and see what best option is and go forward to purchase or fix. 2^nd and all in favor. Tools – figure out what we need for tools and go get them motion made, 2^nd, all in favor. Tractor age raised to 1965 – should be put on website, in a prominent place and on Facebook. We need to promote this in case we can encourage more participation.  PA System has been purchased by Chad; it was tried out after the meeting. Meredith took it to put in the trailer. We have also purchased the sled monitor and will test it to make sure it works correctly at the Bridgewater pull.

Pulls

 1^st pull is the fun pull in Bridgewater on June 7^th We will test out any new equipment we have; in Springfield if we still do not have what we need for the scales to use them we will consider it as a fun pull. We have to pay the $5 hook fee but will not count towards points.  John made motion that if the scales are not working in Springfield, we would have a fun pull but hook fee will still be in place, all in favor, motion passed.  What do we need for tools? Some will meet after the meeting and decide what we need and get the tools before the Bridgewater pull.  Washburn has decided not to have a pull this year because they are not having events on Sunday and we are in Madawaska on Saturday.
