You won't see many of those sorts at Gold Valley. John Raison would not tolerate them.

I must say that Gold Valley is one of the last places I would expect this sort of incident.

Once again, why sell an angler a day ticket on a water if they don't show you a rod licence?

(assuming they had paid and we'rnt poachers?)

I was attacked whilst carrying out club bailiffing.(10th April)

 

I asked the guy to leave the water as he was not a member but he refused. I also asked the guy who he was with (who is a member) to ask him to leave, he said he would not.

 

Things got a bit heated, the guy then flew at me, knocked me over and started to knock 7 bells out of my head, kneck and arms with a wooden post, he then put his boot into my kidney whilst I was still on the groud. Just for good measure he then threw my walking stick into the bushes calling me a 'f'ing cripple.

The member who was there said he did not see the attack, but heard it. He stood facing away??

 

The police keep bailing the attacker but until the 'mermber' can remember what happened the CPS are not willing to take any action.

 

Trouble is as a club we can't even take any action against the non cooperative member as it could be seen as intimidation.

 

Chances are he will get away with it.

Good old British Justice.

that is terrible Weary-one, did the club not ban this member who was with the attacker ?

[Steve Walker]

I presume they will do once the legal procedings are complete? Most clubs have a catch-all "disrepute" clause for situations like this.

 

I think I'd like to see a prominent warning of a life ban for assaulting a bailiff (or being party to it). I'd also like to see the sort of banned-from-everywhere scheme the local pubs use. It just isn't acceptable.
