Ok, so now i am starting to get an Idea of what the AT does.
If it such an importance to fishing and there is a huge threat to the decline of fishing, then what did we do for all them years without them?
I hear people saying about the ACA, but i wasn't a member of them either, i didn't even know that they existed, and as far as i could tell the fishing didn't decline.
If joining the AT is such an importance to save fishing in our country, then why didn't i know about it? why has it not teamed up with the EA, so that when you buy your rod license, a percentage goes to the EA and a percentage goes to the AT.
From what i read on there Website, they are having to cut back jobs, and other resources, as they didn't get the Response from anglers that they had predicted and consequently don't have the financial resources available to keep these people in a job or support some other resources.
Well, what they should have done is had a poll of some kind to see what level of support they could expect, before putting all these resources, and creating all these jobs, before they had the financial resources to fund them, Now that is just poor Management IMHO.
If i feel that by giving them £20.00p of my money would help support angling and change angling for the better, they could have it without a seconds thought, but if they can't even run and support there own organisation, what hope is there of supporting us correctly?
And now they have had to cut Jobs and other resources, why should i now give them my £20.00p, they have even less resources to support us, and if everyone does pay them the £20.00p, will them people get there jobs back?
I was made redundant just before xmas as the company i worked for re located to Romania, because it was cheaper and better business sense for them, so i know what it's like to lose your job, so yes i sympathise with them, but management should have put more thought in to what they had there and then and not what they might get if everyone joined.
Still not Convinced
