I can probably help you with that question Mike. The club, SIMCOE CFTF, has been running well under the new format. The membership is up, 12 members to be exact, in the last year, with another 5 on the way. This will have us in the high 40's. As for the costs, the price of membership is down due to the fact that you don't have to pay the US side of the deal. $80 a year gives you the membership to Outdoor Canada magazine, your club's insurance to hold tournies, your membership to the CFTF, Decals for your boat or truck, a Christmas party, Anglers of the year also received entry into the Canadian Open,and access to the members side on the CFT sight carrying all of the clubs results and details. We have found that the changes have been very positive with most members, especially the change in the Tourney format from boater against non-boater, to draw team events.

All in all a good thing for our club, as we began to stagnate before the change.
