Whats happening at the ACA ?

Peter Waller:

Some of it I knew via the grapevine, but not via the ACA.

Did the grapevine tell you about the £1million pounds donation that does not appear to be there anymore?

Did the grapevine tell you why was the Grantham Property sold and expensive properties rented further south?

Nope, but I reckon someone might have been living very well off the ACA . Yes, questions do need to be asked.

I wonder who? However, I do not think there is anyone out there who has the guts to ask the right questions. I would if I were an ACA member. but like many concerned members, I resigned years ago.

I would rejoin if Jane and Bob were kicked out. Tell me, when was the last time you or any other ACA member had sight of a financial statement?

Actually Peter, you do not appear to know the half of it! I'm just glad I am not a member at present!

Can anyone here even remember the name of the last President?

jeepster:

the ACA? well as ultravox once said 'it means nothing to me' same as the PAC, SAA, and all the other TLAs around these days. if you want to hand over your hard earned to some organisation for them to do what they want with it, fair enough but don't think they act for you and spend your money on your behalf, they act for themselves.

Jeepster, "ACA", "PAC", "SAA", are what keeps our sport alive. The fact that you feel so omnipotent to deride their efforts speaks volumes for your lack of understanding of angling and as Ultravox also said, you are "Sleepwalking" and will see that the above organisations will "Reap The Wild Wind", so do not "Dance With Tears In Your Eyes", or "Lament" for the future of angling if you are not prepared to financially back those organisations who ignore "Passing Strangers" such as you in "Slow Motion", but respond to those who listen to "The Voice" and work for the future of angling.

 

Tight lines,

Maybe this is the problem with ACA and the James's......many do not seem to know what the ACA do or have done anymore? I would have thought that promoting the ACA and its work the most singularly important job.Without this there is no suport either moral or finnancial?

"PRECISELY" - The moral and FINANCIAL support is vital - the promotion is only one part of the whole. If the ACA Council, Committee and members have no confidence in its finances, where is its future?

 

Why do its officers keep resigning?

 

Do YOU know what the ACA financial position is?

 

Do YOU care?

 

Will the ACA still be here in 10 years time? In 5 years time? Next year?????

 

Does anyone care???

 

I do, but I want the truth.

 

I want to see a financial balance statement for the ACA for the past 10 years.

 

Will I get one???

 

Is the Pope a Jew?

 

Is Blair Conservative?

 

Is Rooney the next England Football Captain?

Can somebody tell me who Bob James is?

[Peter Waller]

No Brian, I don't know half of it. Its not Jane I want to see getting the order of the boot but I can't see her staying and Bob going.
