Burleson Texas Regional ORCA meet

Post by colby sorrells »

Great day of tackle collecting at the Burleson Texas meet today. ORCA had a strong showing.


ORCA display and tables. Sorry for the soft photos. Still learning how to use phone camera

Plenty of reels to look through

I'll bet some ORCA member wishes he was there for these two.

ORCA members left to right: Ray Cromer (OK), Willis Logan (OK), Don Vaughan (OK), Nello Armstrong (TX), Chip Rice (TX), Randy Anderson (OK), Bryce Tawney (TX), George Chrisman (TX), Kelly Jones, Colby Sorrells (TX) Not shown Mel Davis(TX) and Billy Taylor (TX).

We had 3-4 folks that said they were going to join and a couple old members said they were going to re-join. Good day to be a reel collector!

Keepin' It Fun

A......click on this Event Calendar link on the ORCA "Event Calendar Page".

Great pics, Colby! Looks like someone enjoys a little "Crown" along with their reel collecting. :P
Love those Open Face Spinning Reels! (Especially ABU & ABU/Zebco)

Harry- Additionally, the notice for the DFW/Burleson regional meeting was posted in Reel Talk and the ORCA Facebook Page on July 12. The ORCA Facebook post was repeated on Show and Tell on July 20th. The event was promoted at the ORCA Annual Convention’s well attended Breakfast with the Board and the show date was updated/corrected in Reel Talk on August 17. So there plenty of notice. I’m just sayin’.

Hmmmmm, Harry. I posted it on this website, sent out individual letters to members in surrounding states my self, talked about it at the ORCA National. Not sure what more I could have done to promote it. Glad you made it. Wish we could have met but you did talk to one of ORCA's best ambassadors, Mr. Bryce Tawney. Bryce worked tirelessly to promote joining ORCA at this event and went to the trouble of carrying and setting up the ORCA display. Thank you Bryce from all ORCA members for your efforts.

Keepin' It Fun!

Saw the NFLCC notice on the Lure Side and they held one in Indiana the same day however just my Zwei Pfennig worth is that it should have been posted (Stickied Even) on this Forum under announcements where everyone would see it that the Event would be in Burleson and ORCANIANS would be there as well and it was not .

Throw the cow over the fence some hay !

AND as I Stated Mr. Tawney is a Great ASSET to this Hobby,En-devour,Art,Cause,Organization, Life, Developmental Therapy and so on .

ORCA happens to be looking for more volunteers to help improve the club. If anyone would be willing to routinely monitor and keep track of relevant events and organize more effective posting of event notices on the ORCA website/Reel Talk, just contact me.
