Does anyone else have an issue with the rather dated and long-winded process involved in obtaining a night permit.

Re: NIght Fishing Permitsit's been mentioned many times now on here Roger, both on here and social media, but the committee don't seem to be interested, it's a real showstopper right at the moment, where an hour after sunset is pre-5pm, and just as the fish starts to feed. Even relaxing the hour rule would be nice, especially at this time of year, 3 hours would be good, at least that would put you in the feeding time zone.

Re: NIght Fishing PermitsHi Guys, Yeah the current system is a joke, Whats wrong with an email to smart phone that has a unique code on it that can be checked by the bailiff (who is cc'd into the email) (god this is getting almost efficient) so he knows just by looking on his phone how many people & who should be on a stretch at any said evening. Taking it one step further, why not have an online booking system, so if you fancy staying longer, you can. Obviously this may take some setting up, as the system would need to take into account how many people are currently allocated to a stretch. Then email the Member & Bailiff the ticket confirmation. Just a thought......

Re: NIght Fishing PermitsFlint, the Wye and Usk Foundation (not that I'm a fan of them), have an online booking system that appears to be very good, you just book your place on the venue you want, and pay online. Very simple, you can an email (which you can get on your phone) and that's it.

Re: NIght Fishing PermitsInteresting to see other comments on this "controversial" topic. Sadly, following the rather negative, intransigent conversation I had with the BAA representative earlier this week, the only conclusion I could arrive at is that this organisation has NO genuine interest at all in encouraging any post-dusk activity by its growing number of specimen hunters, who only wish to continue their pursuit of their quarry at a time when the most productive period is well-known to be after the sun has set. It is a pity that they haven't attempted to progress from the quite dickensian view of angling that stems from the club's early origins.

Re: NIght Fishing PermitsWell i for one find the £10 cost for a night ticket just too much and as for me it would probably be a last minute decision to stay on for a couple of hours the clubs prehistoric booking method is unsuitable. I would suggest adding a night option onto the annual membership for an extra fee.

Re: NIght Fishing Permitswhat i would like to to see as i have around a 2 hour drive to the nearest venues for me is something like RDAA do which is for a number of waters they have a 9 pm or 1 hour after sunset, whichever is latest. That allows for fishing in to the dark during the late autumn, winter and spring. When in theory Barbel are at their biggest, wont make any difference in the summer but then personally that isnt a problem for me.

Re: NIght Fishing PermitsAll it needs is a change to the hour rule. If in British Summer Time, you say had to be off the bank by 11.30 and when the clocks change around 8pm it would satisfy most people's appetites. No one would be there all night, you wouldn't have to pay £10 to stay an extra couple of hours to take advantage of a feeding spell and you wouldn't need to embark on a ridiculous process of getting a ticket and the BAA would still have a rule about people not being there all night. Problem is this site is a graveyard. You post ideas but no one at the BAA bothers to engage in a discussion. They just take the membership money and plough on regardless. It is sad as a bit of pro-activeness could go a long way.

Re: NIght Fishing PermitsI spoke to someone at the Evesham fishing show last year, about being able to buy online, and you get a code sent to your email. As i agree having to buy them days in advance is a pain, for many reasons!

Re: NIght Fishing PermitsI'd support any motion to upgrade the current system. It would need some time and investment, but the increased flexibility for members must bring increased revenue for the club, offsetting some of this investment.
