Proposed Change:
ARTICLE II
Membership:

Section 1h. Membership Requirements


h. Potential members or guests will not be allowed to fish the October tournament.

Reason

This should be a special time for members only. The possibility of drawing a guest (potential member) who does not know how to fish or cast, etc. would possibly put the club member (boater) at a big disadvantage during our most important tournament.
