How do I join SOCOBass?
| Joining SOCOBass is easy. | Just
contact an officer and introduce yourself,
and that you are interested in joining. He will tell you a little about the
club, and invite you to our next monthly meeting. The club meets on the
first Wednesday of every month. You may download a
club application here. Please fill
it out and bring it with you to the meeting.
|
| What is required to join? | Mainly, what is required to
be a member is a commitment of 2 day's on average per month. One day for
each tournament, and a couple hours in the evening on the first Wednesday of
each month when the club meets. During the TX season, tournaments may fall
within the same month, but during the non-TX season, there is only the
monthly meeting to attend.
|
| Is there any financial costs to join? | The club collects yearly dues
from each member. The total is $100*, which part goes to your dues to the CT
BASS Federation, part to the National B.A.S.S. Federation, and the rest goes
to SOCOBASS. Also, during the year, each tournament has a cost of $15** for
entry fee, and prize payouts.
Non-boating members who participate in tournaments are also required to offer to help pay up to $25 maximum towards gasoline expenses to their boating partner, who as a boat owner, expenses are much greater. The amount is flexible, but determined by the boater. Also, you must be a subscriber to B.A.S.S. magazine,which is paid directly to them. The regular membership is $25. To learn more about B.A.S.S. membership, visit their website, and join after through the club.
