Norm M Posted December 12, 2016 Report Share Posted December 12, 2016 Back when we held the banquet in Wilmington one year we had a roundtable discussion of club members instead of a paid speaker . As I recall it was quite well received . I believe the lineup included Jonn, Ken Grotowski, Phil Fiscella , myself and possibly Pete Plauck . There could have been someone else , I can't remember . Would something like that be feasible these days or is a "name draw" absolutely necessary to sell tickets ? Save the speaker's fees for conservation work ? Surely a mixed group with different experiences ie small water, bigger water, fly fishing, kayak/canoe, noted for different techniques or different rivers could be found . Have them all speak on how they would approach different situations and open it up to questions from the audience . You could either give the group the questions in advance to prepare or spring it on them cold . I think the latter would be more interesting . Shoot you could even raffle off the chance to ask one of the questions to the audience. More dough for conservation work and then no one knows in advance what would be asked. You could also raffle off the chance to have a question for the group answered in upcoming issues of the newsletter . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Ferguson Posted December 12, 2016 Report Share Posted December 12, 2016 The featured speaker, Bassmaster Elite Angler, Timmy Horton, has already been booked for this year along with DNR biologist Steve Pescitelli. We'll keep your suggestion in mind for next year. Thanks Norm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norm M Posted December 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2016 I figured that. That's all it is , a suggestion for the future . Tim Horton is one of a very small of group of TV fishing shows that I have watched more than once since I've been laid up . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregg S Posted December 13, 2016 Report Share Posted December 13, 2016 I agree with Norm that the roundtable was well received. The speaker he could not remember was Kevin Dells (I believe) representing the Kish guys. Gregg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Ferguson Posted December 13, 2016 Report Share Posted December 13, 2016 Kevin Dells, was not the one he forgot, It was Jonn Graham. That Blowout was February 25, 2002. For those of you who might not know. Pictured from left to right, Norm Minas, Ken g, Jonn Graham, Phil Fiscella, and Pete Plauck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
