Bill,
this forum is the official communication forum for Bass-n-Tubes. If you take a look there hasn't been much official club discussion on here by anyone lately. Not like in the past that's for sure.

Meetings after tournies always happen, as informal as they are, it's when we discuss what is next on the schedule, and if anyone has something they want to talk about we do it then.
I believe the schedule and the lack of a vote is what you are most concerned about. This year we were asked by DFG to get our permit application in as early as possible so we handled it the way we did.
You might just like the schedule we have come up with.

As far as not being a "club" because we don't have monthly meetings, that is your opinion. We have members spread out all over northern Cal., so a monthly meeting isn't really feasible since only a handful of members would be able to make it.
This has been the way it has always been since the club began way before I was involved.
If you want to be involved in the daily running of the "club" then taking on some responsibility is a way to do so.
There are always e-mails and phone calls between the officers going on behind the scenes to get the club business done. Things like, updating the club roster with TBF and making payments, ordering trophys for the tourney winners, scheduling release boats, securing permits from DFG and the bureau of reclamation, securing donations for the open raffle, designing and ordering TOC qualifier prizes, etc., etc., etc..

I will say thank you again to you for getting club T's made this year.
That was very cool and everyone, including myself, are grateful.

We are going to have our annual meeting after the TOC, as we have always done, and that will be the time to bring up any thing you want to see change.
Hopefully we get a good turnout this year!
