THE
REEL THING
November 95
I suppose by now that most of you have heard that the Scarborough Fly &
Bait Casting Association is in a sort-of transitionary period.
We are, however, functioning on the regular Wednesday evening basis,
mainly fly tying and casting and hope to have news for you before too long
about future plans and aspirations that we have for our club.
We
are beginning a recruiting drive and would appreciate your support in any way
that you feel that you might be able help increase our membership.
Ideally, we operate most efficiently with our membership in the 25 to
30 range. The City of Scarborough
has suggested to me personally that they would love to have us host the 1998
World Championships and I am seriously considering the possibility.
Let me know what you think about this, please as S.A.P.
I
still have Jack Wilking's fly tying cabinet and quite a few rods, reels, lines
and stuff for sale. If you are
interested in seeing what's available give me a call.
Donald
Cox, Fred Bigioni and I put together a number of excellent rods from some of
the discards collected by Roger Cannon and Normark and given to us for our
use. These are free and there for our members' use.
Irene
Johnson's husband, Stan, passed away last week after being ill for some time
and suffering a severe heart attack. Out
of respect for Irene (as she has always been the main mover and organizer of
our Christmas parties) we will not be having a club Christmas party this year
but everybody is invited to drop in on Sheila and me over the holidays for a
'cup of tea' and cookies. Just
phone and let us know when you can make it.
I
would like to offer special thanks, here, to those who supported me during the
post-tournament period and through the problems that arose.
Obviously, the stress of that period, along with another club's raiding
our membership to get themselves off the ground has left our own active
participatory membership suffering for the moment, but we would love to see
you starting to drift back to throw a few casts and tie a few flies with the
rest of us whenever you wish.
Finally,
our in-house novice club championship will be held on Wednesday, December 6. Great prizes, Certificates and the club Championship Trophy!
