I heard it discussed at the State Meeting @ the Indy Boat show Feb 19th. Zone 1 had a zone meeting on March 5th, so they may have discussed it there too.

The issue is a recent one that was brought to the attn. of the IBF by Don Cochran @ BASS. The woman that made the allegation had emailed the BASS Federation contacts and the email had climbed the ranks thru BASS until it got to Don. He then contacted the IBF directors. The Directors told us at the state meetiong that this practice is not acceptable and would not be tollerated. Any person may apply for club membership as long as they meet the age requirement, regardless of sex, race, creed, etc...Any club found to be discriminating, will loose all BASS and IBF affiliation.
