Want to start a club. Direction from directors??

[SWMIBASSER]

I'll be honest. It's a bit of a self serving idea. To build a schedule around what I can fish. And most of all a one on one series of tournaments.

I simply can not find a partner that I can trust to be there every tournament (due to schedules mostly)

I've got lakes in mind, already popular tournament lakes.

Where do I go from here?

What equipment do I need? The nice to have and the have to haves.

You need a permit from the DNR for those dates is that right?

I would like to actually start a division of another series but would like some sort of direction first.

I'm running through my head trying to think of everything needed equipment wise.

weigh bags, folding table for registration, possibly another for scale, a scale, a bump board and ???

Is anything provided by national clubs when starting a division?

At this point the equipment is the only concern as all the hard stuff will be ironed out by going the division route. Rules, payout, fees, insurance, etc.
