November 4 2009 Meeting Minutes BB opened meeting at 6:30pm. Billy recognized the efforts of the outgoing e-board Billy called for a vote for Steve Meadows which passed unanimously Old Business Save Phace order was brought up again and all members were asked if they wished to place an order. Only 2 members (Mack and Tony) responded so club will not receive raffle mask due to quantity ordered. December meeting will have the $10 50/50 raffle for the travel fund. The future $10 raffle meetings will be March, June and September. New Business All fish off submissions must be brought to December meeting and it is strongly recommended that they be emailed to E board and Ken Repine to put on the website in advance. Billy asked members for any ideas to raise money for the travel funds, no ideas provided at this time. Tournament report Mack provided Wheeler tournament results and reviewed new blastoff procedure. When you pay for each tournament, you will go to Rich Cornelius to pick your blast off number. Mack plans to blast off 5 at a time unless site restricts blast off to single file. Mack reviewed tournament schedule for 2010 and reviewed a change to the Seminole tournament to stay and launch from Wingates. We had some conversation but it stays as mentioned. We also reviewed the 2 day event at Lay and Mitchell in the September time frame with no member feedback. Dave Dyes suggested that weigh in process was rushed which resulted in him having a dead fish penalty he didn’t feel he deserved. Mack reviewed his system and acknowledged that he will give each fish a 15 second chance to move and if no movement is seen, it will be called as dead. Mack also said he would make an extra effort to ensure the fish are in fact dead while at the same time keep the weigh in process moving.  Claireborne Tournament Results 1.
