TPFRs,
I have a few updates on the club as your new president. The leadership is thrilled with where Dan left the club and we have a few ideas about where we're going. I want to share some short term goals and longer term goals as well as an update to our commercial posting policy.
Within the next few months, we have a few deliverables that you should hold me to:
- New hats, this time from a new vendor and hopefully they don't fade from green to orange
- Shirts: one of our members has volunteered to design a graphic for shirts--we can't wait to see what he comes up with and get these made
- Credit card reader at Beer Ties: we want to make it easier for you to help us raise money
- New ideas for Beer Ties: in addition to our beginners table we want to add a more advanced pattern "assignment" for our more seasoned tyers
In the longer term:
- Booth at the Virginia Fly Fishing and Wine Featival in the Spring
- Bluegill Tournament: McFly recommended this years ago, we are going to make this happen next Summer
Outside of this, we will be working with other ideas we come up with or ideas you contribute. Feel free to post here or e-mail any of us directly.
In addition to these goals, we want to let you know we've updated our policy regarding commercial posts. None of the officers or members want to see tons of spam posts here, but we have decided to allow posts from commercial members announcing free fishing events (fly tying demonstrations, fly fishing classes, special speakers, etc.). We think these events fit with the ethos of our club and can benefit our members without being in your face advertising. However, to our commercial members, you must clear these posts with us before posting (shoot me an e-mail at president@tpfr.org). We probably won't turn you down but, for example, we don't want to see 5 Orvis stores posting every week about Fly Fishing 101--we would want this consolidated to a single post. We don't want to see any content within these messages about sales, gear or anything else self-enriching. Otherwise, the commercial posting policy is unchanged, and this this allowance is always subject to change or our discretion if we think it's getting out of hand. Thanks Richie and Art for bringing this up to me, I hope this helps the club and our local stores.
As always, let us know if you have any comments or suggestions.
