November Meeting and Tournament:

Our November meeting will be this Thursday, November 14, 2013 at 7:00pm in Room 116 of the Fellowship and Education Building at Covenant Presbyterian Church, 3003 Northland Dr., Austin, Texas.  Our November tournament will be on Saturday, November 16, 2013.  Mike Wiles and Dale White have volunteered to provide refreshments at this month’s meeting.

Club News:

A proposal was made at the October meeting to only count 11 of the twelve month results in determining the club standings for the year.  This proposal allows a member to miss a monthly tournament without affecting his club standings for the year.  This proposal will be discussed and voted on at the upcoming meeting and if it passes, the club constitution will be changed to reflect the change.

Fishing Report:

Fall is a busy time of the year for many of us that love the outdoors.  The hunting season has slowed down my fishing activity, but I do love the cooler weather.  The weather forecast for next weekend looks good.  Please plan to share your fishing reports with everyone at the meeting.  I look forward to seeing you Thursday evening.
