A couple things to throw out there about holding a meeting at any Open's. #1 These are Open events meaning there is a lot of guys at these events that are not and dont plan to be BNT members. If we were to do it at an Open, then I would imagine the only way to do it is to pull all the BNT and future BNT members aside, but by doing this we would be singling out other guys that are at the Open and could possibly give them an unwelcome feeling if they dont know why we are meeting. Another thought is how much the BNT staff already has to do at the Open all of us are extremely busy. Tming at the Open could be an issue as well. Remember last year it seemed like we didnt have enough time to do everything, weigh in then casting contest , then Bobby's seminar, then the raffle then the casting contest finals and it was dark. And to be honest I was about worthless by that point. I do agree with major staff changes coming we do have to have a meeting and there is a very strong chance no one from the Shasta Region will make it, this is why we had the brief meeting at the TOC last year. Having a meeting at the TOC only allows some of the members to be heard and I think its only fair that all members be heard.

Thoughts?
