Arkansas Canoe Club Forums

I'm told that the board of directors may recognize any group of 15 or more members as a chapter if asked to do so in writing.

Any of you in Louisiana, Texas, or south Arkansas interested in forming a Bayou chapter, please post here or PM.

I know we have 6-10+ Paddlers Here in Shreveport-Bossier....The ACC roster would be good place to start. I think its a good idea!!!

The BCOS roster would probably be a quick way to find your 15.

Good luck ladies and gents!

It worked for Oklahoma City and it can work you you all.

Not sure how it would be received, but why don't one of y'all post the invite on the BCOS message board.

I've been boycotting it until they get over that "you can't see what we're talking about or what trips we're planning on the message board unless you're a member" deal. Not the best way to recruit new members to BCOS.

I'm in Lufkin, Texas and would be interested. I might even be able to make it up to Shreveport for a meeting a few times.

I'd be very interested!!!

Butch and Louis,

The first class I taught as a new' basic 'kayak instructor was to six most astute&fun lady students in the Bayou Chapter. If I were more computer savvy, I would surely post our class picture I have in my file. :)

Best Regards
Jim

Butch,

I think Adam Willard is working on this. I have sent him an email and left a phone msg, but I think it's in the works.

Richard,

I was a member of the Bayou Chapter Ozark Society and yes, they are a great group of people. They do stuff other than paddling, but I think the reason Adam was looking to form a Shreveport chapter of ACC is because there are several ACC members that are in the Shreveport, Monroe, Ruston, Texarkana and East TX area that don't have an affiliated chapter. Also, there are some paddlers in El Dorado and Magnolia and Camden that might be interested in attending meetings that are a little closer. Hopefully, they get this in this in the works soon.

What about it Adam?

Should I delete this thread? Or keep it going so we know when we've got 15 people?

Also BCOS now has an open to the public Facebook page - http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=4 ... 628&ref=mf" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Seems they should be able to round up 15 without any trouble. I've seen them pull up at the Ocoee with that huge truck. It was like a clown car. 15 people might not have crawled out of that thing, but it was pretty close.

Dangerboy is down there too. If his boat goes down the river without him, does he and his boat count as two?

Alright Zach now thats some funny chit!!! It would be a clown truck. Yes we had 14 1/2 paddlers get out de ride. The 1/2 is Spaz(Little Bro) Just setting here thinking Zach, i bet we did look like a bunch of clowns, if you had already found??? Oh never mind. That had to have been one of my best "TRIPS" out east.
On the chapter thing we would need to find our committee memebers. So who's it going to be???
Adam

What will the committee members be responsible for and how many are needed?
