[cool]We have lots of informal get togethers among the float tubing groups. Got one scheduled for tomorrow at Lincoln Beach.

We have also had ice fishing gatherings and wiper tournaments on the main board. Unfortunately, these things always seem to turn into major projects and everybody is afraid to start organizing something because they end up shouldering a lot more grief and frustration than they wanted.
The upside of BFT Utah is that we are primarily a family oriented forum, with a multi species membership. There are those among us who focus mainly on one species or one kind of fishing, but somehow we manage to get along (mostly).
And, there are more and more female members...both spouses of male BFTers and ladies who simply like to fish and hang out on the forum. Many of them are pretty fair lady tanglers and contribute a lot to our discussions.
There are no rules about starting or running a group thing. However, if you pop in and suggest something, be prepared to assume the responsibilities for getting it done. Just as in most other groups, 10 percent of the members are willing to do 90% of the work...and the other 90% are willing to let them.
