Which to join?
I'm thinking of joining either the Barbel Catchers or the The Association of barbel fishers- which is best?

Re: Which to join?
Never been a member of any barbel soc / org etc, but I have very fond memories of the Barbel Catchers Club, at one time knowing many of its members and fishing with one of them, the totally dedicated, extremely thoughtful, highly successful Dave Williams, a lot. Used to enjoy meeting them all at NASA shows each year, having a chat and a beer, with a few of them even walking away with a rod / having placed an order when I had the Graham Phillips business.

Sounds right up your street then M'lud, perhaps the offer of a maid or two will clinch your admittance

The Barbel Catchers can't be that elitist M'lud; they let me and Jeff Spiller in and we're both right scruffy ragamuffins!

The ABF are not at all elitist, a very down to earth freindly bunch. i did belong to the BC years ago and they were mostly the same.
