Funny how Albion sent Toumi. I guess they realized he is still liked from his homies at CSC and he was their only hope. If Ginn went it would be DOA.
Of course, Leathers and Neves moved to destroy the ballots. The two without spines.
 
Why would they let Surf in? The only way local clubs are making money are by families that don't want to travel. That is their niche now so why would they let Surf in? That would just be stupid.

It wasn't just money. Many of the club representatives voting at the Presidio meeting remembered what Surf said about the other clubs in Presidio on their way out a few years ago.

Destroying the ballots is a standard procedure in Roberts Rules of Order. It requires a majority vote of the members, or an established policy in the bylaws. It would have been interesting to see who voted which way, but it was not even close, so there was no need to keep the ballots for a possible recount.

Is Toumi really liked at csc after he left them unceremoniously, taking his teams with him?

Not well liked by Cords at CSC but is well liked by all his CSC homies that dispersed throughout the county at other clubs during Cords reign of terror. And more than a few of them are now attending Presidio meetings on behalf of their current clubs and voting!

Are we thinking that Surf will try to gain entry into Presidio/SDDA again for next fall? What are the chances?

I'd imagine that they'll keep trying until they get what they want. They might be losing some youngers that are on B and C teams that are tired of the travel. I know of one G2008 that came over to my kid's club from Surf this summer and the cost vs. benefit views of the travel for league games was at least a part of the decision. I have a friend that moved his kids to RSF Attack a couple years ago for the same reason.
 
I think that the best reason to take them back would be the increased fields for Presidio and more teams at the younger ages.
