I don't see the ACA listed?
This seems to be a step in the right direction although it is far too early to make any predictions or assessments.
It will however be very interesting to watch how this embryo organisation develops, especially on the 'slippery-slope' question of funding.
It will also be intreguing to see how these relatively disparate groups will be able to 'bond' in a common cause.
I do agree with Ron thoughas I would have liked to have seen the ACA included.

ACA chose not be be part of the new organisation. They had previously left both NAA and the Moran Committee.
It is for every group to decide where their members' best interests lie.
FACT hopes to build strong working relationships with both ACA and IFM.

Great news. Thumbs up from me and good luck to them.
Glad to see you're in there Mike. Are you going to the NAFAC seminars in Wheatley in February?
I can understand why the ACA are not members. It is not for them to direct the business of fishing and perhaps this is where they have been going wrong in the past, one member in particular. Their job is to prosecute pollutors on behalf of the angler's clubs and the angling bodies.

I agree with regards the ACA; their role is to maintain clean water for all anglers; something that is probably best pursued separately from any lobby group.

At least this new body has "Conservation" in its title which is very wise. Whether this body will unite angling remains to be seen, but I sincerely hope it does, and not before time!!

It is about time we had something like this and all anglers should back it. It shouldn't matter what kind of angler you are, or if your from the north or the south, because with an estimated 3 million + anglers we should have a powerfull voice when it comes to our sport and the environment. Its about time we stood up to be counted instead of letting the RSPB walk all over us with cormorant propoganda, and clearing anglers off lakes ect. If this group takes off like i hope it will, i think the antis may be run out of town.

it's not just a case of wanting it to work, we NEED this or something like it, or else angling will forever be playing catch-up to the anti's who have already established their organisational structure.
I think this could be the last ditch saloon.
If this doesn't work, eg: some org throws it's rattle out of the pram, then I can't us having another crack fro soem years to come. And THAT might be too late.
Just hope people don't confuse the acronym FACT as the "Federation Against Carp Theft". (similar to two other organisations representing Software and now there's one for film or something very similar)

Its time to put individual ego's to bed and move forward before it is too late!
Lets not try to kid anyone, we have a lot of catching up to do on the lobbying and politically active fronts when compared with our enemies.

It's only going to work if the different groups within it don't use it to promote their own interests which has happened too often in the past but keep their focus on the important issues relevant to todays anglers and the good of angling in general.
I wish them luck.
