It has often been said, "With great challenges, often come tremendous successes!"  This is exactly what the tournament committee for the 2009 MBGFC Memorial Day Tournament is hoping for.  Since the decision was made to postpone until next weekend, we have received high praise from the vast majority that the right decision was made. There is a great chance we will have a significant increase in participation. Of course, we still need the weather to cooperate Saturday and Sunday for the tournament to be the success we are all looking for. We have received lots of feedback from many participants who said they would not have fished if we would have had the tournament this past weekend, but with the rescheduling for this coming weekend, they will be with us. This is great news for all!  We hope if you have not yet decided to join us for what we expect to be a fantastic tournament, please make plans now to be a part of what could be a historic event.  There's a bit of irony taking place with the fact that many people were surprised the tournament was taking place earlier in the month than usual. Now, with the postponement, it seems like we're really "back on track" with our normal schedule.

So come join us this Friday night, May 29th, at the MBGFC in Orange Beach for a spectacular event. There will be a tasty dinner for the participants prepared by Rob Berglin. Extra dinner tickets for guests can be purchased for $20.  For the bargain hunters, there will be huge discounts on some great T-shirts from last year (could $5/shirt really be true?) as well as fabulous other items new for this year.  For the more daring type, there may be something interesting involving guessing the weight of the winning blue marlin with proceeds to benefit The Billfish Foundation.

Help us make the 33rd Annual MBGFC Memorial Day Tournament the best ever by joining in the excitement this weekend, May 29-31.  And don't forget to sign up before 5pm, Wednesday, May 27th to get the early registration discount!  See you there!
