2005. We got a feel for who would be able to participate. Mick
Keener was elected Team Captain and Eddie Privett will make
reservations for the team.
The issue of awarding points for
tournament participation had been tabled at the September
meeting. Discussion was held on this topic and the pros and
cons of adopting points for tournament participation. In the
end, the motion was withdrawn and the points system will
remain the same. (I.E.—One-half point will be awarded for
meeting attendance, no points awarded for tournament
participation.)
Due to the fact that there is no
December meeting, discussion was held on having a January
tournament and when the banquet would be scheduled. The
results are as follows:
The awards banquet is scheduled
for January 8. Jim D. will check on reserving the Wendell
Coffee Golf Center. We decided to get a D.J. Mike Sullivan was
tasked with arranging that.
We will fish a two-day tournament
on Lake Seminole on January 29-February 1. Eddie will make
reservations at Seminole State Park.
The Lake Seminole Family Weekend
will be held March 19-20. Everyone will be responsible for
making their own reservations. For information contact Andy.
Jim D. Proposed a pot tournament
on West Point Lake on December 18. Those interested should
contact Jim for details.
The meeting was adjourned at 8:40
pm for the general membership and the 2005 officers remained
