Your Angling Trust Needs You!

[gozzer]

It just gets more unbelievable each time!

 

Yup, the only thing missing is a 'guaranteed money back, if not fully satisfied' offer.

You'd need to be in easy reach of Leominster or Nottingham.

 

 

Why is that I wonder? I would have thought that a lot of the work could be done on line, from home.

 

Or have they not heard of the internet? (Maybe that's why my emails never got answered).

 

I think you've hit the nail on the head there John. I'm still waiting for a reply on the e-mail I sent asking what their stance is on the coarse fish catch and release debacle. I live within spitting distance of HQ!

That's the same question I asked Nick, and still no reply.

Maybe they've got a programme that automatically dumps mail with that subject, into the recycle bin?

I wonder if those who are salaried Angling Trust officials would give up their wages and work for nothing? If nothing else, I think it might concentrate their minds a bit more to the job they promised to do, which was represent the country's anglers. Seems to me that attention has been diverted from the fundamental aims, (and promises), recently.

Dear Mr. Worms,

 

Thank you for your enquiry and apologies for the delay in replying.

 

Our members have a wide range of views on this subject ranging from your own position to encouraging a total ban on the taking of any coarse fish.

 

I am grateful for your input to the debate. We will be presenting all the views we receive to the Environment Agency to give them a clear view of this diversity of views. We will be looking for solutions which address the problem, which is acute in some areas, of the taking of large numbers of fish for the table (legally and illegally), whilst preserving the freedom of anglers to take the occasional fish.

 

Are you a member of the Angling Trust?

 

All best wishes,

 

Mark

I read today that they are now paying tackle shops £3 for every member they recruit, £5 if they sign up by direct debit.

You could run an affiliate offer on the site Elton. Maybe they could invest in adwords too.

I'm quite keen on Stevie Cops for PM; while I go to Brussels ..

 

call me a Blair, if you must.

 

I'm not Brown, though.

In all seriousness, I'm quite surprised they haven't done the scheme online.

 

Mind you, I probably should also be surprised that the tackle trade need paying to be encouraged to support them.
