Good Times.

Now that we have so many Georgia boys, lets have a meeting in Thomasville or Cairo. I might actually get to make one of those.

I HAVE THOUGHT ABOUT DOING SOMETHING LIKE THAT, MAYBE WE COULD HAVE A BAR B-Q OUT HERE AT THE SOD FARM IF I EVER GET MY PINCHED NERVE STRAIGHTEN OUT. MIGHT EVEN LET THE GUYS FISH IN THE POND IF THEY BEHAVE THEMSELVES. HA HA HA HA

I really love this group and have, truly, found a home...the meetings are great gatherings where we fishermen and women get to share our beloved sport with one another. As well, the tournaments provide further shared times, not so much from the challenges of the purse, but for the personal interactions (I will be on board starting July the 7th with the "draw" tourny)! Then, there is this site where we can trade trips, ideas, etc., and poke fun at one another. It doesn't get any better than this, folks, as long as we keep it KISS. I've been in other clubs where the membership developed "elitist" mentalities causing the "common people" to fade away. I pray this NEVER happens here, with us.

If we keep having meetings like Thurs, you don't have to worry about being elitist. It was easy to meet and get to know folks. What's gong to happen when we get too many people to meet at Beef's?

We'll move the meeting to Taylorville.

Steve will let you sit on his lap. Two people can fit on Butch's.

It was not the getting too large that the club outgrew Beef O'Brady, it was this "attitude" and the fact that they stopped being a "family" oriented environment! That was that club's demise - for the "common" folk! I'm willing to bet that the leadership we have now, with their kindred philosophies in fishing for fun, will prevail over running out of room (which I hope really becomes a problem and probably will by next year)!

Great Photos...
Got to tell you guys- I would love name tags.
With both your screen and "real" name.

HEY FELLAS, LOOKS LIKE EVERYONE HAD A GREAT TIME, WISH I WERE ABLE TO ATTEND. JUST DID NOT GET AWAY FROM THE HOSPITAL IN TIME TO MAKE IT. MAYBE BY THE NEXT ONE I WILL BE HEALED UP AND PARTISIPATE. I HAVE ALWAYS ENJOYED GOING TO THE MEETINGS AND HOPE TO BE ABLE TO ATTEND REGULARLY IN THE FUTURE.

Name tags are a great idea.

Capt Reggie - You are right about the attitude of the club. I like the family fun attitude.
