Attention "First Ever" IOFF Member SWAPPERS!
The first ever IOFF swap is about to close at midnight tonight. You
folks who were NOT sure about the time allotted have been given a
reprieve as we did the math and figured if you could tie 50 in 8 months, then
30 in 4 months wouldn't hurt a bit. This is the NEW math.
If you are an IOFF member and NOT in this swap, I want an excuse note from
your doctor. If you are in, just wait until I post the list this weekend
to check for your name. Bob Haering is going to get his flys done in
April since his new job as Vice President begins in May after the major
hatches are over.
I'm telling you the diehards are all in this; Byard, Tony, DonO, Mr. Fish,
Joyce, Rene, Ginger, Denny, Kev, Larry..... nope, gotta wait to know the rest
of the 33. Now, you've got 5 1/2 hours to decide.
Right now it would help if those dropping out or who said they'd consider
if the timing were longer, PLEASE CONTACT ME AS YOU ARE ON THE LIST!
Why? Because the final tally looks to be about 30 flys due July
31st. Fair? Well, I met you all half-way.
I'll post the
rules and I've relaxed them just a smidge. The big issue is tying about
30 flys the best you can which will be displayed in shadow boxes and on the
VFB even if I have to buy space. No worms, eggs or patterns not
requiring effort.
Some folks might not be as experienced as others but they can tie a couple
of flys a week and even take their 3 week vacation to rest their
overworked fingers. DON'T PROCRASTINATE! Start your first fly this
weekend. Just one to see if its the pattern you want to tie.
