Proposal for pitching‑speed attraction and mini‑golf advances, committee seeks safety plan

A committee member proposed adding a family pitching‑speed attraction and mini‑golf adjacent to the canteen to broaden the event's activities and provide small fundraising and raffle opportunities.

The presenter described the idea in practical terms: "We can give away some prizes," and suggested an 8x8 pop‑up tent with a 15–20 foot lane and a covered backstop so balls do not leave the area. Committee members emphasized safety: several asked the presenter to explore protective netting or a temporary batting‑cage solution and to measure the proposed location at the field next Monday.

The group favored placing the attraction outside the fenced playing field and closer to the canteen for supervision and vendor access, but they left the final decision pending a site check and a demonstration of protective measures. The presenter volunteered to visit a comparable installation and report findings at the next field meeting.
