This is a dedicated thread for discussing article: Christchurch AC Lose Hants Avon ‘Jewel in the Crown’
A previous post on this subject provides the view of the Somerly Estate.
From memory, it stated that CAC hadn't kept to their side of the lease by caring for the banks and dealing with the litter problem so the Estate were forced to do it themselves.
Certainly, if I was the Estate manager I wouldn't let the fishing to any club, whatever the history behind it.
A closed, and tightly controlled syndicate is the only way to protect a fishery and be assured that it is fully respected by the angling members.

Paul Boote if everything goes big ticket and syndicate -:.[/QUOTE said:Nothing at all wrong with syndicated waters, if clubs and individuals choose to either break the rules or not adhere to their side of the contract then losing them is their fault no one else's.
Not all syndicates are based purely on a monetary value but more on knowing who is fishing and when and more importantly knowing you can trust the members.
So we are back to you again
Round here a few clubs have got together to run waters, rather than let them be lost to angling.
The Consortium of clubs is very well run, you just join anyone of the clubs, and apart from that clubs own waters, you get to fish the Consortiums waters that all the clubs run.
This might sound strange to some, but the cost of a club ticket hasn't gone up by more than £5 over the last few years.
many were saying the waters will be over fished, and you would never get a swim. Just the opposite, the anglers I see on these waters are the same faces that fished them before. Yes there are new faces around the waters, but you get that with all clubs.
This may be the way for clubs to go if times get hard.
