4. Our March meeting is March 1, in Flatwoods. Every club must have a representative attend this meeting, per our by-laws. Club dues are due at that time, and Buddy Trail entries will be accepted. The 2026 Buddy Trail schedule and entry form are posted on our website, WVBass.org.

5. As mentioned before, we will be holding 50/50 drawings at every tournament. In addition to that, we will be holding online raffles and an online auction. More to follow.
