I have to agree with Snotty, the show gets worse and worse. I certainly won't be wasting my money going to the show next year, that's if there is one! It may be of interest to the organisers that some of the exhibitors won't be there next year either! What a waste of money! Pete156 (www.tenchfishers.com)

That's great, many thanks. Pete156

Thanks chaps.

Thanks great, thanks Adz. Pete

Hi, can anyone suggest somewhere I can get a day's fly fishing in later this week, preferably within the Newbury area. I'm not too fussed about the size of fish, just looking for a day's fly fishing! Cheers Pete

Interesting comments, thanks chaps. I guess I now ought to get off my backside and join the SAA, which I've been meaning to for a while now. Pete Crane Mid-West Regional Organiser The Tenchfishers.

Vagabond, whilst I agree that anglers who "only" contribute a fee keep most societies going it just seems a shame that more of them don't get involved in the activities of the societies.

There are various specialist angling societies available for anglers to join (i.e. The Carp Society, The Tenchfishers, Pike Anglers Club, Barbel Society etc.). What I would like to know is what anglers expect from these groups after they have joined, bearing in mind that many do not contribute (except for their fees) nor attend any of the meetings or fish-ins that are arranged for them. Also, what do these societies need to offer to get 'dormant' members active, or maybe these anglers are only after the badge & teeshirt! Any thoughts?

I've booked a day at Pallington Lakes next week for a day's fishing. Does anyone have any experience of the venue - any feedback would be greatly appreciated. I'm after the tench in the Tench lake.

Does anyone know what the fishing is like at Buscot Park Fishery, near Lechlade, Swindon?
