Re: BAA membership pricesI think the baa have a choice to make, they have to significantly increase membership price to address current situations, or we accept imperfection with the current amazing value for money subscription. On the other hand if members numbers keep increasing will they spend more money on the things that matter.

Re: BAA membership pricesI for one would be happy to pay another £10/year. Most small clubs are significantly more expensive, for a lot less fishing. The BAA represents great value for money at present, but even at £50 it would still be cheap for the amount of access. If the extra funds could be put towards protection from resurging pressure from Otters on the lakes, that would be money well spent. IMO.

Re: BAA membership pricesI certainly wouldn't begrudge paying more, but the general ethos of the Association is that it is still very much a non elitist club and strives to make it affordable to all.

Re: BAA membership pricesAs a retired member based near London, who in 'normal' times visits the BAA area 2x a year for a few days to fish I have to say that £40 represents unparalleled value for money. The range and number of waters is second to none, and is by any criteria exceptional value for money. You will find nothing of this quality at these prices within 50 miles of where I live in SW Herts and around the £50 p.a. level you are likely to find a perhaps 3-4 club waters at a maximum.

Re: BAA membership pricesWith regards to the maintenance of our waters the BAA have addressed that issue by employing several contractors across our fisheries.I’m not sure where they stand with the lockdown restrictions at present though.

Re: BAA membership pricesYes, let's hope the baa keep us informed where our money's being spent

Re: BAA membership pricesThey haven’t started work yet as far as I’m aware,this is what is going to be done from now on instead of relying on the small fisheries team to cover all our waters.Obviously the last 12 months has threw a spanner in the works as with most things but going forward contractors will be employed to do the fisheries maintenance and I’m sure the work that gets done will be relayed back to the website for members to see what’s been done as it has been previously on the fisheries work plan on here.

Re: BAA membership priceswith regards to our works team there is a rumour going around that this part of the BAA may have to stop owing to a very serious incident that happened on the Teme somewhere ! if what I heard is true then contractors would have to be the way forward and that costs would have to rise, by how much i assume would be for AGM approval. I am also hearing that for legal reasons this "incident" is being suppressed by the BAA .

Re: BAA membership pricesIt was announced last year that contractors will be used for future fisheries maintenance,check the news report on here from the 3rd of September.The majority of what you have “heard” isn’t accurate unfortunately

Re: BAA membership pricesWithout doubt the price of the BAA annual ticket is by far the best value for money of any of the big angling associations. Would I be prepared to pay an increase to subs as of next year?....£10, £15 or even £20 to help towards maintenance costs?

Re: BAA membership pricesIt's worth more than twice what the price is, and I'd pay £100 if i could a few hours into dark at a few venues too, as I've said before a few times. At 40 quid though, no-one can moan, and I hear a new stretch of Warks Avon may also be available next season (a good stretch too).

Re: BAA membership pricesI would be happy to pay more than 40quid.I think coppice is worth that on its own,Great Lake to fish had some good days there in the past.But I understand that not everyone can afford to pay 100quid for there season ticket.Thats a good idea John that members who can afford to pay extra for there ticket would be able to fish into the night.I would pay the extra to fish let's say to midnight.

Re: BAA membership pricesWhy not use the membership mailing list and do some marketing to see what would be an acceptable increase for a yearly cost. I’m a pensioner now but I would be more than happy to pay £60-£80 per year to get better pegs. I know on the rivers nature dictates. But I have checked out most venues and in some venues 80% of the pegs are a bust. But with platforms would be perfectly fish able

Re: BAA membership pricesHi, what I would be wary of would be scaring off those anglers who use the Baa like a 2nd club because for £40 it’s brilliant value. I’ve noticed over the last few years more and more anglers travelling miles to fish our waters because if they only go 6 times a year it’s cheaper than what some of them pay on their doorstep. Although I would be happy to pay more I think if it was doubled it will scare off quite a few people.

Re: BAA membership pricesI would gladly pay more to be able to night fish . With the present rule of one hour before sunrise and one hour after sunset being open to abuse .

Re: BAA membership pricesWith regards to the night fishing,it isn’t always the BAA’s decision wether to allow night fishing or not.If the landowner who the fishing rights are leased from doesn’t allow it then there’s nothing the BAA can do.If the terms of the lease are continually broken then there’s a risk of losing the water.

Re: BAA membership pricesStew the only way you will stop people from fishing past the one hour rule after sunset is to get more bailiffs on the ground . I know their is a problem with recruiting bailiffs and its a thankless job.
