C.A.T.C. NEWS July 2015 THE CAROLINA ANTIQUE TACKLE COLLECTORS NEWSLETTER VOL XVIII NO 3RO President's Message The CATC Spring show has come and gone, and by all accounts it was a success, both financially and by attendance. April 17th through the 19th seems like a life time ago. I would like to personally thank all the CATC membership that participated in the Greenville Show. Hopefully you had a fun time and found some new and some old tackle for your collections. I would like to also thank the new club members that showed up at the Greenville show and participated in the show. There were several items from the street that was brought in for auction and the sellers were pleased with the money that their items brought. If you were there, auctions can be FUN!! One particular person that brought items for the auction was from Greenville SC and her name was Rene Fox. The interesting thing about her was, the story she shared about her being on the American Pickers TV show on the History Channel. They were at her dad's old dance hall, Little Creek Dance Hall, located just up the road from the Phoenix Inn in Greenville SC. Yep...she sold them some stuff.. guitars, and amps that her Dad ( Rudy Dickerson ) used on the Grand Old Opry. I would like to also Thank Mr. Bill Bailey for designing and donating our FIRST club lure made by PICO lures. Lure number one, design work and patch were displayed in a showcase and were auctioned with all the money being donated to the club. The Myrtle Beach Show will be in few months November 20th-22th at the Springmaid Resort & Conference Center. If you haven't contacted Mr. Gene McIntyre for your tables... please do so ASAP! He can be reached at 919-395-4424 The Myrtle Beach Show will be extremely important this year and we need all members to attend. We will be electing officers for Secretary / Treasurer and President. Please be thinking about who you would like to have in these two positions. Mr. Steve Barrow is stepping down from the secretary-treasurer position after 10 years of service. Steve has done an outstanding job through the years and I want to say a big THANK YOU to Steve for his service to the club. Steve is not leaving the club, just stepping down from this position. Folks, this position is very vital to the SUCCESS and FUTURE of the CATC, with that being said, we need for someone to step up and be nominated for this position... if this position can't be filled.. CATC will be in trouble...steve will NOT fill this position after the Myrtle Beach Show. See you in Myrtle Beach... Hack Hensley
Carolina Antique Tackle Collectors Current Events By Steve Barrow CATC Directory and Dues - The CATC directory is published during the August timeframe, and covers all members whose dues have been paid by that time. If you have not yet paid your 2015 dues and would like for your information to appear in this year s directory, send a check for $20 (made out to CATC) to Steve Barrow at P.O. Box 487, Kittrell, NC, 27544. Upcoming Elections at Myrtle Beach Show At our Fall Show business meeting there will be an election for CATC President and Secretary Treasurer. The members elected will serve in those positions for the subsequent two years. THE CLUB NEEDS GREATER PARTICIPATION FROM MEMBERS!! For example, Hack Hensley is currently doing double duty as both President and show host. Hack is willing to be President again, but he would also be pleased if others would step up and be willing to serve in that position for 2016/17. At the end of this year I will have been the Secretary/Treasurer for 10 years, and will not be up for re-election to an Officer or Director position. I ve enjoyed serving the club, but in the future look forward to spending more time with my family, traveling, and pursuing other interests. I plan on continuing to be a CATC member and attending as many shows as possible. Hopefully some other members will be willing to be nominated for President and Secretary Treasurer for the two year term beginning in January, 2016. Thanks Again Bill Bailey!! At the Spring Show in Greenville we auctioned off several items donated by Texas member Bill Bailey, and more of Bill s donations were included in the raffle prizes. Among the auctioned items was the 2014 CATC PICO Lure #1, along with a display case and factory print proof signed by Pico owner Steve Frick. We appreciate Bill and PICO s continued support of the CATC. Member No Shows Can Cause Problems for Show Hosts There have been some situations recently in which members have reserved tables for shows, without prepayment, and then not showed up without notifying the show host. There are other clubs that will not allow show preregistration without accompanying payment, but the CATC does not desire to implement that policy unless it becomes necessary. Whenever a member has prepaid, and then has to cancel for personal reasons, the club in most cases is able to refund their show payment, and strives to do so. I mailed several show refund checks to members in 2014, and we certainly don t mind doing that. Life and family is obviously more important than any hobby, and there are many valid reasons for not being able to attend a show after preregistering. But what we are asking is when this situation occurs that you notify the show host and make them aware that you will not attend. Our show hosts invest much of their time and energy, and we should make it as easy on them as possible. The host needs to know how many tables and which ones are available for other members to use, including new and existing members who want to register and reserve tables the morning of the show. Tables they are holding are not available to be assigned to other members. In summary, we hope all who preregister will be able to attend the show. If not, please notify the show hosts as soon as possible, even if it is after the show starts. Submit a Newsletter Article, Earn $50!! Beginning in 2015, CATC members can earn $50 by submitting tackle related newsletter articles that are chosen for publication. Each article must be at last two pages long, including any pictures that are incorporated. Articles should be submitted electronically to Steve Barrow at stb647@embarqmail.com. Our club has about 160 members, all of whom have collections, knowledge, stories, and pictures that would be entertaining and informative to the other members. The article could be of a historical nature, favorite or recent field finds, experiences using old tackle, or any other subject relating to CATC s Mission: Enhance and promote the collection and preservation of antique fishing tackle and memorabilia.
