Comps will have to be organised by the public or companies.
There is nothing stopping us doing like we used to do and everyone brings a pack of plastics or equivalent and we have 1st, 2nd, 3rd.
Someone organises meat or BYO just like when we started.
I think for most its not about the prizes but the company and having fun plus maybe some braging rights.
That's all I want, VYAK to stay the same and still be here, as there are a heap of great people on here.
The so called comps we have aren't what i call them anyway "they to me are meet and greets" the important part is the get together, chin wag and having a fish together aspect (prizes are the least important and just a bonus).
As far as I'm aware the last few had nothing to do with Vyak admin and were totally organised by members as were the sponsors and food. I know St Leonards and Mudbrothers were anyway and the way I read the above is that doesn't need to change (maybe just list the thread in the external comps)
Or stuff the comp tag and just call it a meet and great, I like most don't care for comps anyway its just the social aspect that makes me want to attend.
I have similar feelings as Cbarker54 (well said Chris), the official club sounds like it will only work as a localised thing with commercial agenda's. (fat chance it will be an option for people out West or in the Country) If Vyak wants to help establish this fair enough but once its up I think Vyak should distance itself from it.
