Angling Trust Introduce New £2.50 Subscription Option |
|
|
We've responded to feedback from anglers by introducing a new monthly subscription option. Individual members can now spread the cost of Angling Trust membership over 12 months by paying just £2.50 a month with Direct Debit. As the nominated Primary Contact for your club we are asking you to please pass on this news to your club’s members by forwarding them this email.
The more members of our affiliated clubs that join us as Angling Trust individual members the more political clout and resources we will have to run campaigns and take action on issues like poaching, pollution, commercial over-fishing at sea and predation.
For £2.50 (...yes that's less than the price of a pint of beer!) each month all anglers will now know they are doing the right thing and supporting their sport's representative
organization, and the work of Fish Legal, in the same way that birdwatchers join the RSPB or shooters join BASC. What's more, individual members get great benefits like public liability insurance worth £14.99, two magazines a year, monthly e-news and up to 20% off fishing permits, tackle and books.
This new monthly payment option will make it easier for those who prefer to pay for individual membership of the Angling Trust in
installments rather than in a single £25 lump sum.
To set up a £2.50 Direct Debit payment your club’s members just need to go to
www.anglingtrust.net/join
or call 0844 77 00 616 (Option 1). For those who prefer to pay in one single payment there's still a one-off £25 option for adult members instead.
The total of £30 for 12 X £2.50 monthly installments reflects the administrative fees we have to pay for taking 12 Direct Debit payments.

Report
Illegal Fishing |
|
|
The
Environment Agency, recently
had a report from one of the Oxford and Abingdon Angling Alliance bailiffs, of a number of set lines consisting of a long length of line with up to 20 baited treble hooks set out along one of their reaches of the Thames. They were removed by the bailiff and disposed of but unfortunately
they didn’t get to hear about it for a few weeks.
We would like remind all our members to call the EA incident hotline if they see anything at all suspicious. The number is
0800 80 70 60. |
