MSBA Fishing Show/Plug Turning Demo

[Slipknot]

yep, I know

and we signed something last year as I remember.

I'd do it again this year but like others have said, it's alot of work. I don't mind doing it for the club, even though I seem to never make it to the club cookout that they have every year.

I hope the show is a huge success.

Myself and MSBA much appreciated all the folks who helped with last years demo. The cards were on the table in advance and CS, MAC and Slip knew the deal. They spent the whole weekend in there, it was fun but I too feel more compensation is required. I tried for some last year, got some donations from site sponsors (thanks to those guys M & D's, #^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^& and NJTackle). I will talk to who I need to talk to and see what I can do. Slip, MAC and Capesams....would you be interested if I can get it done?

Hi guys, I have to agree with the fact that the plug turning demo was one of my favorite parts of the expo last year. Even though I hardly had any time to actually hangout and watch you guys turn for more than a few minutes at a time, it was a pure example of what MSBA wants in terms of an expo imho. Guys hanging out shooting the chit enjoying themselves. It's a social event not just some stagnant tackle exposition.
You guys did voltunteer a great deal of time. As did alot of other volunteers between the setup on friday to the very last hours of breakdown on sunday night. That is what makes the show happen, volunteers. It isn't easy to get alot of people willing to donate time to their club, believe me (I have a volunteer sheet for this years show, and it's only half full) But, I do think there should be some type of compensation if the show continues to grow. That's just my opinion. I will bring it to the show comittee, and i would love to see a turning demo this year..

The guys that were doing the plug building last year were fantastic, and as people have already said, well worth the price of admission! I hope it happens again!

Since the monetary might run into "legal" issues, how about a "tip bucket" for the people turning. Something that would read, "due to legalities, we are not being compensated for our time and effort. Tips appreciated" or something.....I know I'd donate for it!!

It was a great pleasure to "pick some brains" while they were turning! I learned a great deal from it and thank you guys for doing it!

If no donations are available from lathe, duplicator mfgrs etc. put tape over the logos. This is not a freebie!!

Insurance is not an issue nor was it last year. We are going to see what can be done. Give us some time.
