Re Graham asking for info: I e-mailed asking if I could have a copy application form e-mailed as an attachment (my scanner does not do a very good job) so that I could put one on my clubs web site for members to download, but nothing came of it. Same response from the ACA I?m afraid.
Do these bodies really want members?
The ACA did ask for my name and address to send ME an application form, but several e-mails trying to explain what I actually wanted went unanswered

Dave, Even Mrs Robin Wallis shares my view on a certain angler, she also has a strong opinion of another angler we both know.

Nice one Jason, glsad your standard are high mate!
John, I`m very sorry to hear about the problems you have experienced from both the SAA and the ACA. The main problem with these types of organisations of course is that they are run by volunteers, many who have an excessive work load with other things in their lives, like the rest of us, and mistakes and replys get mislayed and delayed, its all down to manpower really. I`ve not been involved with the ACA but fully support thew work they do, should they get it wrong from time to time, I openly forgive them. I do have friends who have worked very hard for the ACA putting up national stands, giving talks and generally promoting the organisation.
I have been involved with NASA and SACG, now SAA, who over the years have achieved so much by so few, much of which has recieved insufficient media attention. If SAA have any faults it is that they are not very good at blowing their own trumpets. Dispite representing the majority of specialist anglers through many of the main specialist organisations, in real terms very few people give their free time up to work for our benefit, what few do roll up their sleeves achieve much behind the scenes work. In the main they are short of bodies (pro-active ones) and money. Anyone out there wishing to give an helping hand, then please contact Mike Heylin on saauk100@hotmail.com

John, The pike water I was referring to is Thorpe Park. I didn't know Rob's wife had met the great man. Did he live down their way in the past? Regarding the other angler we know I have found the secret of his success. I looked at the wrapper on his favourite bait. I had misread it in the past. I thought it said Thick Cut.

Sorry to hear of the problem regarding a joining form, mail me on secretary@saauk.org and I will get one away to you or pick it up from www.saauk.org

It is probably time to get your cheque book out and send ?20.00 to Mark Leathwood, SAA Membership Secretary, address on the form at the link above.
Jason
No excuse. Send your ?20.00 and we won't make you a member or send you anything at all, just use your money to help defend angling. Does that suit you? LOL
Graham
If only we had the manpower we would be better at keeping you up to date with developments. We face a choice, get on with the work or blow our trumpets. We just tend to get on with it, to the exclusion of press releases and updates. Not good I know but with limited resources we have to set priorities.
Monk
See you in November?

Dave, Not being into stillwater fishing of any type the significance did not hit me untill your last post. Was it Thorpe Park where Ken is shown with his pike in the Linesman AC publication that Terry sent to me last year, cira 1970's

That was NASA and you should have cancelled that this year. I did send out letters to everyone on standing orders asking them to do so and send their cheques to Mark Leathwood.
Good to see you back in the fold. Thanks.
