Minutes of NBFF Membership Meeting Summary
10/27/2021 – New Braunfels Library
Dan Cone called the meeting to order at 7:00 pm.
Gary Nyland informed the group that he and Jeff would like to pass the baton to someone else to head up the fly tying group. They cited the lack of participation and not having a good location for fly tying and the distance they had to travel. It was decided that the group would reassess after the 1st of the year.
Pat McQuinn said we have 31 current members.
Ron recapped the club trip to the Blanco River. Eight members fished and many sunfish were caught. All agreed the bbq at Old 300 BBQ was great.
The membership approved of having a joint November/December meeting on December 8th if possible. The backup date is December 1st. Brien will try to reserve the library for those dates and Ron will try to arrange for a speaker.
A motion was made and seconded to keep the same group of officers until our normal date for elections in the spring. The motion carried.
The Holdover Tournament will be held November 6th. Donations will be $200 to float and $75 to wade. Interested members are to contact Chris Jackson to sign up.
A motion was made and seconded to provide the GRTU Youth Camp participants with a gift bag of fly fishing equipment. A $500 – $750 limit was placed on the expense. The committee consists of John Schlombohm, Chris Jackson and Ron DeMeyer to determine the content of the bags. The group will coordinate with Chris Long, Gruene Outfitters who are also giving items, to ensure no duplicates. The motion carried.
Chris Long, Gruene Outfitters, invited the members to attend a presentation by Pat Dorsey on November 12th, 4 – 6 pm.
