Raise a glass to Leon Roskilly.

Dear All,

 

As an SACN member I received this from Leon today and thought it most worthy of a mention here.

 

" To all SACN Members,

 

I had a phone call from John Leballeur, Chairman of the Bass Anglers Sportfishing Society (BASS) on Sunday Night.

 

He was phoning to congratulate us on being awarded this year's Conservation Trophy at the Society's AGM.

 

Previous winners of the prestigous BASS Conservation Trophy have been people and organisations that I've greatly admired for their dedication to the cause of Marine Conservation, and it is their record of dedication and achievment that makes the endownment of this award such a special thing.

 

As their record has set the high standard that inspires others, so I hope that SACN can continue to meet the expectation, and to maintain the value of recieving this award as an inspiration for those who will follow.

 

I know that all of you are happy to join SACN, and to add your efforts to bring about change without any thought of personal thanks, happy to be attempting to make some difference to the future direction of our marine environment and the recreational fishery that it supports.

 

But it's very nice when someone does make a gesture to assure us that our efforts are appreciated.

 

Just one thing to add.

 

 

 

KEEP IT UP! :-)"

 

Now I'm aware Leon has a great team working with him so I'll leave it up to him to give these people a mention. But in the world of marine conservation efforts Leon is a shinning star.

 

Yes we all do our bit Leon but your own efforts make ours look very tiny in comparison.

 

Congratulations Leon for this prestigious award.

 

Regards,

 

Lee.

Yes, well done Leon, and I think I should add for those that don't know him, he gives up an awful lot of his fishing time to help run the SACN.

 

Proud to know you Leon,
