For fear of repeating myself, no hole Bob only putting right misleading information!
So in answer to your points.
1) As I've pointed out, it's my personal view/opinion,(which I am allowed I think) although I'm certain it will have agreement from many river anglers
2) You said, "We all know you can't use more than two rods on a river"
You have now qualified that, it isn't a National EA requirement is it? It's a local rule in some places. So your comment was only half of the story.
3) I don't know, if it was over 7 years ago, then no! So, whatever happened is old hat..as I've said, things change over time.
"BS should put aside the dispute with one of the previous organisations and join the Angling Trust."
I am not aware of any on going dispute!
Are you ?
Bearing old grudges Bob, won't progress angling unity!
Not certain about the point of your last sentence, but I know where my funds go too, I am a fully paid up individual member of Angling Trust as I was in it's original and better form.
