September Meeting

The meeting was called to order at 7:06 PM with 14 members present, 2 excused and 3 absent. As of this posting, 3 members have not paid their dues.......and if they don't pay by the next meeting they will NOT be able to fish any tournaments and their membership will be considered for termination.

   Many, many subjects were brought to the table for discussion and for a vote.

First was the 6 pounder pool.....when a new member joins, how does he qualify for the pool? When they join... they have the option of paying for all the past tournaments which would qualify them for the entire prize, or the can just pay for only their first year ,and if they catch a 6 pounder their prize would be pro-rated.   The vote use unanimous in favor of this policy.

   The second topic discussed was the payouts of the tournaments. The vote was unanimous to increase the pay-outs to $240.00 for 1st,  $155.00 for 2nd  and $105.00 for 3rd.

   Third on the agenda was  Monponsett  EAST  or  WEST ?  if we get the OK to fish the East Pond we can fish either pond since we have permission for west already. Well as you can see by the article before this one ..... we CAN fish either side.

   Next to be discussed was Membership Dues....and it was decided to keep them the same ...... for now.

  The 5th subject discussed was the TOC.  As of now the top 10 anglers will fish the TOC and the pay-outs will remain the same...but this covers more than half the club....so it was proposed for next year to change it to 1/3 of the top anglers with a wild-card draw.   The wild-card would be a member that has either attended all the meetings or tournaments.

  And last but not least .... at the next meeting (Oct. 4th ) we will need to discuss the date for our Awards Banquet and to nominate a member  for "Sportsman of the Year"

Meeting adjourned at 8:14PM
