Today I received a letter, signed by Mark Lloyd, but with Millets, Blacks and the ATR logo's at the bottom.
With the letter was a Specialist CARD which apparently entitles me to the great benefits afforded to ATr members.
The letter goes on; As direct users of outdoor products, members of the Angling Trust are hugely valuable to Blacks and Millets which is why they would like to reward your on-going custom with a discount card;
I did not sign up to the ATr's silly 'Fish For Free' scheme nor do I wish to shop at Blacks or Millets, or Angling Direct, too many local angling stores have gone bust already.
Overleaf on the letter the Millets/Blacks Terms and Conditions are given, and the envelope was franked with the Blacks logo, so it came direct from them not the ATr.
As far as I'm aware when I joined the ATr I did not sign up for it to sell on my personal information, unless it was hidden in its T&C
I once asked the ATr Chairman if it would be OK to advise members of the Specialist Angling Freshwater Group of a bait business a CSG member had started, I was told no because of the data protection act
Sorry about the Membership misspelling but I was so $loody angry
