The State of NAMBA (high level snapshot) - (DD)

NAMBA has had much success with the new rules committee that is cleaning up

old rules and going through the rule book page by page. In doing this there was

many things in there that needed to be deleted or re written to current

standards. If not a racing rule we DD’s vote on these each month at our Monthly

DD call.

NAMBA District Directors monthly call. I can say this has really opened the eyes

of every director and the communication flow is way better than ever before. I

proposed this back in 2022 to Richard and he appointed Eric & Kelly Canto from

District 3 to conduct the meetings and I take my hat off to both. The meetings

are organized and flows extremely well and get a lot completed in the hour-long

meeting. All District directors, as the NNAMBA VP Karl Loveless attends each

month.

Proposal By Robert Holland 10-Minutes to Present

#1 2025

District Finances: Proposed by Robert Holland

Proposal- Eliminate District Rule 4.2

District Rule – Finances $.2 does not serve any purpose other than add another

layer to a difficult job of the District Director. Our district does not have enough

funds to need an oversight committee. The DD should be free to buy the supplies

and awards for our district without asking permission.

4.2 District Expenditures that exceed $250 for any single expense or $500 for any

single event in the aggregate, must be approved by a vote of all current paid

District club Presidents. Voting shall take place online and have a seven-day

window for club Presidents to approve all such expenditures.

#2 2025

Entry Fees: Proposed Rule:

Reasoning: We have been following this rule on a loose basis over the last few

years. Just want to make it official.

Proposed Rule: All District 20 or Namba member age 16 or under shall not be

charged Sanctioned D-20 race entry fees.

#3 2025

Entry Fees- 8. Fees

Reasoning- Cost over all products have increased. Raising entry fees this small

amount will help clubs break even on cost and help the district with year-end

awards.

New Rule: 8. Fees

8.1 The $25.00 per driver fee is collected by the District Treasure or local club

Treasure. The district shall retain said funds.

8.2 The $10.00 per boat fee is collected by the District Treasure or local club

Treasure. The hosting club shall retain said funds.

8.3 If hosting club collects fees, he or she may reconcile at race site with District

Treasure or must submit funds due to the district within 10 calendar days of end

of said event.

8.4 The driver’s entry fee is $25.00, and each boat fee is $10.00. If a contestant

should enter only one boat his total fee is: $35.00, two boats = $45.00, Three

boats = $55.00 and so on.

8.5. Any person entering a race must pay all fees associated with entry unless

they cancel registration by the Wednesday before the race, prior to 6:00 pm. If

entrant fails to show up for a race, they have entered they must still pay the entry

fee prior to being allowed to race in any future district events.

8.6 All moneys collected from raffles should be retained by hosting club unless

agreed to other distribution in writing prior to event.

Old Rule:

8. Fees

8.1 The $20.00 per driver fee is collected by the District Treasure or local club

Treasure. The district shall retain said funds.

8.2 The $7.00 per boat fee is collected by the District Treasure or local club

Treasure. The hosting club shall retain said funds.

8.3 If hosting club collects fees, he or she may reconcile at race site with District

Treasure or must submit funds due to the district within 10 calendar days of end

of said event.

8.4 The driver’s entry fee is $20.00, and each boat fee is $7.00. If a contestant

should enter only one boat his total fee is: $27.00, two boats = $34.00, Three

boats = $41.00 and so on.

8.5. Any person entering a race must pay all fees associated with entry unless

they cancel registration by the Wednesday before the race, prior to 6:00 pm. If

entrant fails to show up for a race, they have entered they must still pay the entry

fee prior to being allowed to race in any future district events.
