Just had an email from the angling trust stating that they have won the case against developers wanting to build a hydro on sawly weir on the river Trent. Well done to them!
Exactly, Fred. This a perfect example of our need for the Trust and Fish Legal.Well I'm blowed, good job they have the subscriptions to pay for such things, otherwise anglers there would have been walking the plank!!
Oh, and for those who keep asking "What have the Trust achieved?" - Take note, chalk this one up!
I gave you a solution to help, you did NOTHING! Not even a thank you.I'll ask again; what has the ATr done for the smaller rivers of Oxfordshire or any Oxon river?

ALL, every one of my PMs going either in or out is stored and has been that way for two years now since I got caught out. The PM system does not fail, if you receive a PM and REPLY to it, the original sender receives the response. If however, you press the wrong tit then who is the tit? I have checked and rechecked (also emails since I get a copy in there also) and no email was received from you.As for not thanking, I'll offer you the benefit of doubt that my PM never reached you

You've posted this on another thread, but I shall only answer once, if you don't mind.This story relates to Fish Legal. Not Angling Trust.
When it was all under discussion, they wanted it all to be one and the same and just become the Angling Trust, but there was some problem with the Angling Trust working with members of the Law Society, I don't remember what, but it wasn't allowed and so they kept the legal side seperate in the eyes of the law for that purpose.

Fish Legal / Angling Trust - twins but one and the same. A bit like Siamese twins, joined at every part of their bodies, share the same offices, hold different accounts, or didn't you know that?

For everyone else, they are ONE!
However, I have argued that people should be allowed to contribute to either (if only to encourage more members into the Trust) and you can give either a donation. So if you like what they have achieved so much get your hand in your pocket and send Fish Legal a cheque for £15 and prove your worth. I shan't be holding my breath in anticipation though, if you don't mind.
If the Dearne were to be polluted I could not see AT or FL taking any action. They aren't and couldn't going to go to court for the loss of sport of half a dozen anglers.
Fish Legal should be used as an insurance policy by those with a vested financial interest in fishing and should be a stand alone organisation. The individual angler will get nothing from joining Angling Trust and in my view anglers are being conned out of their subscriptions by misinformation such as posted by yourself and Mark.
Yes they could. It only takes ONE ANGLER to claim that their 'rights' have been interupted and providing he is there to assist Fish Legal and go to Court, FL would act on his behalf. So that's you bang out of order. Sort your facts out first, always said that.If the Dearne were to be polluted I could not see AT or FL taking any action. They aren't and couldn't going to go to court for the loss of sport of half a dozen anglers.
Glad to have you on board Binka.if all they did was no more than to unite the voice of angling and give us a stronger voice then it was money better spent.
