The following guidelines have been approved by the club’s Executive.  Each of these guidelines pertains to issues that the club has faced during the past years and are designed to clarify our position and/or acts as our policy.

1.  Guideline on Dealing with Suppliers:

Acting in the best interests of the club’s members, the Club may:

  • jointly engage in events and activities with fly fishing suppliers
  • make purchases from such suppliers, and
  • accept donations and special offers from them.

The Club may deal with suppliers in these ways even if the supplier is acting promotionally in its own competitive interests.

The Club will favour a member’s supplier only in the event of a tie as to which the supplier best fits each members needs.

The Club may communicate all such activities to the club’s members.

Upon request, and if relevant to the  club’s members, the Club may communicate offers of services and products from other suppliers.

2.   Guideline – Fund Raising

1. FUNDRAISING

A.    PASSIVE fundraising – Castaways Fly Fishing Club has received unsolicited products for club use.  (ie: person/company donates rod/reel to the Castaways FFC without solicitation).

B.  ACTIVE fundraising – The actual act of Castaways fly fishing members soliciting local businesses, inhabitants, or members for products.  End use of product must be clearly indicated to supplier.  (ie: member asking tackle manufacturer for donation of a rod/reel etc.) .

2.  USE OF PRODUCTS / FUNDS RAISED.

A.    Passively raised products may be used:

1. for club activities, with ownership by the Castaways FFC.

2. for an auction/raffle with proceeds into general revenue with no use specified.  (i.e.: cash raised could be used to subsidize club BBQ, dinner event, or donated to local enhancement project).

B.   Solicited products may only be used for the initial specified purpose. (i.e.: donated items must be auctioned/raffled by the Castaways FFC to raise cash for specific streamside venture).

3.  ACCOUNTING:  Accounting records must be kept to ensure a clean paper trail for money raised and spent/donated.  Records will be entered into general minutes and presented to Castaways FFC members.
