TROPHY NEWS

Next Meeting Wednesday February 1^st 2012

7:00PM Databit Solutions

I am sending everyone a paper newsletter this month so all this info gets out.

1. Fish fry at the February meeting. Show up between 5:30 and 6:00 for food. If everyone kicks in a few bucks then it will work out fine.

2. The Open entries are out. We are starting to receive paid entries. Makes you start thinking about fishing.

3. Speaking of fishing; the annual trip to Santee Cooper in South Carolina is scheduled for departure on Friday March 23^rd at 6:00AM. We will return on Saturday March 31^st. Boyd will be making lodging reservations soon so if you were thinking of going this year, please let Boyd know.

4. Jig pouring on Monday nights started. Everyone welcome.  Great social time!

5. Road trips starting. The OBF Open meeting is Feb. 4^th. The Dixie Swap meet should be coming up at the end of February. Cabelas and Bass pro will be having spring sales.

6. The tournament committee brought a proposed tournament schedule to the Jan. meeting. There was much discussion and several changes made to the schedule. The schedule was then tabled until the February meeting when the membership will tackle it again and try to get it finished and approved so tournament permit forms can be sent out. The next page shows the schedule as it was when the January meeting concluded. Please keep in mind that this is still a work in progress. The club as a whole must vote on and approve the schedule. If need be this can be done 1 lake at a time and 1 date at a time. That is why it is very important to attend the February meeting if you have any input on the tournament schedule.
