ARTICLE IV
Section 1

Amending the Constitution and by-laws:

a. The Constitution and By-laws, Tournament Rules and Fish-off may be amended at the regular October meeting by a 2/3 vote of those members present, provided notice of the proposed amendments have been presented to the membership via the September newsletter prior to the October vote. Members that have participated in less than 6 of the previous 12
tournaments will be barred from voting in said year and will not by counted as part of the 2/3 vote.

Reason

This change is adding the words: previous 12 tournaments, this will allow the member that fished last years fish off to count towards said years 6 tournaments fished to be eligible to vote. This will allow previous October to count as a fishing tournament. As it is now, October counts only for Fish-off eligibility, nothing for voting requirements. If a person fishes October, it has to count for a fishing tournament.
