If you do not get emails from the Club then please get with Ed so that the email addresses can be updated.
- The pocket schedules have arrived. They have the 2016 schedule and contact information for Larry, Mike and Ed are on the cards. If you have an issue that delays you getting to the ramp on time (Cows on the highway, flat tire, vehicle problems, hangover, etc…) you must contact Ed or the board members if you intend to fish. You cannot simply show up and fish. If you cannot contact them then leave a voice mail message and it will be sorted out at the weigh in..
