Albion open 2023

It does bother me a little that NCKA membership has not been invited.  Without NCKA, there would be no Albion open.
That said, I'm going anyways.

I'll be there. Still have some unfinished business there.

A bunch of the Loose Screws are booked for that week for a fish and chill.  Most are in the "A" section in RVs.  I don't plan on fishing the tournament but some may.  The Taco Shack sounds great.  I will gladly donate my catch to the "cause".

Cya there. Me and my Pops will be chilling as well. 

  I saw Sean's name here as an organizer. A guy named Sean use to run the Albion event. He used to post  here every day  but haven't  seen him for years. Maybe something happened and he stopped posting. A long time ago I crashed the party and he had no problem taking ten bucks to drink off his keg. We had that event in Elk for a couple years. The locals made us invite them to our partyand it was all good for a while.I think it was too much to see fifty kayaks fishing in their front yard. Exit to Albion.

Wife and I will be there!  Site C1 booked.  Looking forward to seeing y'all after what's been a long road these past 3 years.  Just gonna chill, not entered to compete, heck, no kayak any more even.  Ha! 
Cheers all, see ya soon!

Truly perplexing! So where does one register for this event? Thanks

Sucks that they made it same day as MBK event. We set our date in 2022. Its stupid as it pulls kayakers from both events with shorter number. Wish they would have posted on NCKA or ANY OTHER platform.

Major bummer.

     I registered on a link I saw on Facebook.$50 comes with a shirt.

Well said and thank you for mentioning this! I was tempted too mention it here, and also have shared my thoughts with Sean regarding this. There’s absolutely no reason for a conflict of dates for events in a year where there are less than a handful. In past years where there may have been close to a dozen, I could see how this might happen and was often worked out. It really just comes down to effective planning, coordination and communication to be successful. In this case that doesn’t seem to be prevalent nor exist. I would have attended both events as a long-time participant of both and in this case, like many, I will have to choose one over the other. It’s rather lame and could have easily been avoidable…

registered for MBK first, so that's where I'm going

hoping next year they fall on different dates as in previous years.  Both events are excellent - and appreciate what the organizers do to put them on.
