Are you tired of being the Lone Finner? Set up (or join) a BAG Chapter! Entirely autonomous, you run it the way you like - dues or not, online or get together, events or chat - what ever you want to do. It can be geographic or you can pick any other criterium for your Chapter. What I can do is provide a subdomain (yourchapter.bowfinanglers.com) for you to post Chapter news if you want it, a section on the Message Board if you want it, and web help to get you started (I'm no expert, though), again only if you want it. (An example of subdomains - No Quarter is a subdomain of www.chuckthetruck.com but appears as a separate site.)
Send me the Chapter name you've chosen, contact info (this will be Public like above, but if you want a subdomain it will be user@yourchapter.bowfinanglers.com), Chapter criteria/info, and a member list, even if it is just you for starters. This will take time to develop so be patient, but it will take work on your part to promote your chapter. Ask for a subdomain or Message Board space if you want these features.
Becoming a recognized Chapter of the BAG will be free, but any inappropriate behavior (sponsoring a b@$$ fishing contest, for example) will be grounds for Chapter disbarment. All subdomains must remain family-friendly, i.e., no adult content. This is a requirement of the server as well as BAG.
Thanks to TimT, NC for this idea. (03/03/07)
