Thanks for the plug ASH.

Here is one of the big changes the club made: Membership requirements. We laxed the requirements to become a member and have the following requirements anyone can abide by.

SOCB Membership requirements:

Requirement for membership

To be a member, a person shall:

1. Be sixteen years of age or older.

2. Must comply with all club rules and regulations.

3. Attend at least one meeting per quarter unless otherwise overruled by the Executive Board.

b. Entry into the club by membership vote can be delayed for just cause i.e. not at meeting or prior tournament partner not available for report.

c. Entry into the club must be approved by 100% of attending members

4. Each new member is required to join either B.A.S.S. or FLW within thirty days of acceptance into the club. (See ARTICLE VII for affiliation requirements).

5. Each new member is required to pay membership dues which may vary year to year (see club Treasury for more details).

6. Each new member is required to prepay $10 per tournament remaining in that year (i.e. 10 events left in the year would be a $100 prepay). Tournament prepay is non-refundable.

a. A prepaid non-boater who gets bumped from a tournament by their boater and canâ€™t find a replacement team partner is eligible to have that prepaid $10 taken out of their next tournament entry fee, essentially â€œrolling overâ€

Good stuff my friend!
