Good afternoon everyone!
It's with great pleasure that I announce that we are moving ahead with the formation of the Quinte Region Walleye League!!! After discussing it in detail with our "consultants" and by the response we have received from the original thread, we feel that we have more than enough willing participants to move ahead with forming the league. There are a few things that must happen first. I will list them below.
1) We have to adopt or form a mission statement, code of ethics, organizational rules and guidelines and competition rules. As a note, we have been graciously offered by several of the founding members of the ORWL (Ottawa Region Walleye League) to adopt their overall operating guidelines. I encourage ALL of you to please visit their website
http://www.orwl.cato view all of their club guidelines.
2) As well, to keep costs at a minimum, it would be in our best interest to affiliate with the Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters (OFAH). By doing so, it provides all of us as well as the club with 3 million dollars of public liability insurance that specifically focuses on fishing and hunting related activities. Not to mention, there are a myriad of other benefits availble to the member. The cost of becoming a member is also $16.00 cheaper when you are associated with a club. I have ordered the Club Package from the OFAH and I will apprise the members once received. Please visit the OFAH link for more information.

4) We will begin the process of creating a logo and a website for the members of the QRWL. Paul Findlay and Jamie Stothart have kindly agreed to help out with this process. With respect to the logo, I will source 3 different logo designs which we will put to a vote once I have received them.
5) I also thought it would be a lot of fun to arrange 1-2 friendly competitions in the early and late fall as a test "run" of sorts. We could also invite our friends from the ORWL to join and provide some insight. Thoughts?
That is it for now. I encourage all of you to post your thoughts, questions and comments about all of this and I will do my best to answer them. As well, if you still have not added your name to the list of members, please feel free to do so.
Thank you to all who committed to this great venture!!! I am very excited to see what the future has in store for us!
Stay tuned for more updates as the become available!!!
