No regular meeting this week because the bureau is on holiday. Aidan has gone fishing with Morgbot and the Leopard in the weeping tile. I had planned to go on a climbing expedition into the air conditioning vents but then… the reports for the July 6 executive committee meeting dropped. They were significant. To say the least. So I cut my ductwork spelunking short and got in touch with Tim Reid, CEO of Regina Exhibition Ltd as he is the main driver behind the arena proposal and his team has been involved closely with the baseball needs assessment. We spoke over the phone the morning of July 7 2022 This is a very lightly edited recording of our conversation.
