COLORADO BASS FEDERATRION

1^ST QUARTER STEERING

COMMITTEE MEETING

CHERRY CREEK RESERVOIR HEADQUARTERS

1/19/02 12:30PM

Meeting called to order at 12:30PM By Chairman John Bentz

Discussion of the E-mails from Al Smith. Referencing making a “paperclub” for federation members that wish to compete in federation tournaments but do not wish to join a club.

The general feeling from the information provided is that ESPN (Who recently purchased BASS) does not care for the federations, and a general fear that the federations may cease functioning in a few years. These E-mails were passed out for club consideration. It was felt that if the federations do not become a feeder of participants to the opens, they might cease to exist.

John asked for a motion regarding the proposed by-laws change requiring a club to attend at least one meeting a year to remain in good standing. This was discussed briefly, and the general feeling was that we need not discourage participation from any club. It was felt this change might do more harm that good. A motion was made, seconded and passed to kill the proposed by- laws change.
