Turning wood at MSBA show?

[capesams]

Salty...I appreciate your very generous offer on the gas,,pass the hat,,help the msba gain customer's, fund their project's etc.But I have no affilition with them... the sore spot about this whole thing is the fact that if larry[bigfish] didn't say thank you as we were walking out the door[and I do beleive it came from him and not from the club] nothing from the club would have been forthcoming in the way of a simple txs. for your time or effort....which to me is piss poor for a club that is so well thought of.....

many do great job in putting a show like this together..but if they don't have someone to write a simple thank you note to those vendor's /sponcer's/tackle shop's/guide's for showing up who without them, they wouldn't have a show.Show's me your just someone to be used as a draw to lure people in for the mean's of making money which has nothing to do with the sport of fishing.

Don't get me wrong,,,I enjoy helping other's out as you've seen here at s-b and at the show....and as for getting to sell few plug's.maybe 10 between the 3 of us had no bearing in what we went there for.We went to help other's out,to pass on what we've learned , what other's hold onto as secret chitt.

I won't be attending the show nor will I be posting again on this subject..there are other factor's involved as well , but I won't post them here in public.

I want to try and douse these flames before they get any higher......Guys, its just, from what I understand in talking with Patrick, that the demo portion of the show has gone in a slightly different direction this year is all I can really say right now.....MSBA will announce some things shortly I think. I have been unable to commit as much time to the club and the show as I have in years past and maybe thats where things have gone awry........I have had a full plate since buying the house and I got lots going on even though it seems like I spend countless hours on here I jump on and off for short bursts alot. Last year we were fortunate to have had 3 of the best builders around doing the demo at the show......(kind of like when Cream got back together) its was a success but even more than that...it was fun and I want to thank MAC, Capesams and Slipknot again for their participation......the club was very appreciative also even though sometimes a formal thankyou may get lost in all the commotion and we can't forget the sponsors of the demo MikeCC from Cape Cod Tackle, #^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^& and NJTackle......thanks guys.

Come out to this years show all......it is going to be different, exciting and alot of fun so I hope I see you all there!

Steve sorry for bringing it up. Not looking to pour salt etc please understand that. The only reason I said anything was it felt like there was some serious tension there and really don't like seeing that stuff anymore. Didn't know it went any further...Wish you would come anyways. If NIB comes you might miss something

Peace.

Salty, as I have said before you are way to generous. I think it's better to let this one die a lonely death, quietly without any fanfare.

I think Most Folks would pay Big Money to watch that....
MSBA Thunderdome at Gillette.

Two men enter...
One man leave...


Break the Deal,
Spin the Wheel.



Gulag.




CS,
I know excactly how you feel, except the "No Thank You" I got, came from a different club, over 100 hours, $ out of pocket, raised a few hundred for them, and put some smiles on some kids faces... nada...
it don't cost them anything, but an "old fashioned" Thank You letter goes a long way.
But, it is a different world today, and things is different, and what do a couple of old friggin Dinosaurs know anyhoo.....
and this ones for you ,Bud.

Karl, now that really sucks. No thank you for all the plugs you turned last year for that kids tournament? I know Numbskull thought what you did was great as he had mentioned it to me ( think ya got a plug from him, you lucky dawg) and a lot of other guys mentioned it to me as well to bad they were not involved in the club you did that for, I guess the only consolation is that the kidz really liked you stuff.

CS, Mac and Slip have an issue that I support but I think this should be between them and MSBA and not to be open to our nosiness in their affairs is all.

correct


no sense rehashing this over and over.
If there are any hard feeling about this issue then take it up in private offline please, maybe that would be the best approach.

Like Bigfish said, this years demo area will be different than last year, that is all.
