What’s New for 2011
The days are getting longer and the water is getting
warmer. Summertime is fast approaching and the 2011
VBBFC events calendar is set. As the club grows and
evolves, our events follow suit, and this year is no
exception. We have welcomed Rodney Bowles and
Joe Desormeaux to the board recently and have gained
from having their fresh outlook on our usual issues.
The annual membership meeting is being held at the
Knights of Columbus Hall this year to ensure that we
have plenty of room to do as we please. Our speaker
is coming straight from the VMRC to speak primarily
about the Striped Bass regulations we have come to
know. He is informed and ready to speak on many
other topics as well so please email your questions to
Karen Feller beforehand to ensure the speaker is
prepared. This has been a great event in the past, so
plan on attending and bring potential new members
who you would like to introduce to the club.
Get your tickets early for the “Inlet Escape Cruise” in
May, as we expect to sell out well in advance.
Proceeds from this and the Fall Oyster Roast, benefit
HOF-NOD. Don‟t let sea-sickness keep you at the
dock this year! If it‟s rough outside, we‟ll stick to the
Website Gets Facelift!
The official club website has been Joan Rivers-ized!
The new site is up and running thanks to Tony
Spangler of www.vbsf.net and our board members.
The new site, www.vbbfc.org , will be your source for
upcoming events, membership information, and all
Club news.
A few things that we‟ve added include a photo page,
where you can upload photos of your catch. You‟ll
also be able to check weather, enter Fishing Frenzy
catches, and soon be able to shop our Club‟s Ships
Store which will be full of logo apparel.
The VBBFC is really excited about the new site and
want to thank all involved in the new page, including
