Hi guys after my post the other month on the pulse survey, I would be interested as I'm sure others would to hear your thoughts on this subject.

Re: What do you want from the BAAIn general i agree with what you say, but the waters with difficult access I like, seldom matches on them, not too many people fish them which is good from my point of view as its quite often good fishing, long walk mind you if its not.

Re: What do you want from the BAAI would be prepared to pay more for better services/facilities but the remit of the BAA has always been to provide affordable fishing to ordinary people. They have done a remarkable job and it's no wonder they are one of the most successful clubs in the country.

Re: What do you want from the BAAI to would be happy to pay more, cos £40 a year is a steel for the amount of water you can fish. Being able to buy nite permits online would be a bonus, but only for members.

Re: What do you want from the BAACurry, with you all the way on your post, wouldn't want to pay too much more though, but it is suberb value for money, that's why I joined.

Re: What do you want from the BAAOn the subject of baliffs I have to say that I was delighted to see one today at Blackstone. First time I have ever been asked for my card in 20 years. Personally my biggest issue with the rivers at the moment is that many of the pegs only seem to be suitable for people fishing the feeder. I know that alot of it comes down to bank erosion but the pegs seem to be getting further back from the water. Today at Blackstone I had to fish from a platform that was 10' from the water making it very difficult to present my stickfloat. Now I realise that 95% of the people fishing the rivers (especially the Severn) are only interested in Barbel, but there are still a few of us out there that like to trot a stick. I understand that there is not much that the BAA can do about the erosion of the banks but I hope that over time the rivers don't become feeder only venues. With regards to access of the venues I agree that it is good to have a mixture. It's great to be able to drive along the bank giving access to all, but I also like to visit a stretch with a bit of a walk and you know that you may have the whole day to yourself. After a tough week at work there is nothing better than a day on the river all alone.

Re: What do you want from the BAABaliffs, one week last year I had a week off and fished 5 of the 7 days from Arley down to Stourport and got baliffed (is there such a word?) every single time.

Re: What do you want from the BAAI disagree with the increase in subs, whilst there's no denying it's good value we must also realise that many members come from far away because £45 isn't a lot to pay. If like me you live over 100 miles away and belong to another club then too much of an increase would lead to a choice being made between the two clubs. The best thing about the Birmingham area whether it's the cost of maggots or fishing is the honest pricing and value you get - Please don't become pricey like it is down here.

Re: What do you want from the BAAHornet, I can understand where you are coming from on subs because I've been living nearly 200 miles away for years. I've just moved back to Kiddy/Bewdley area now I've retired.

Re: What do you want from the BAADisagree particularly with your easy access point.Some of us don't mind a walk and try to travel light - some guy moaned at me at Stacklands last week for being asked to move his car by the entrance gate as it was such a long walk to his peg by the footbridge - he was under 40! Stretches such as Trimpley are worth the effort and should definitely remain in my view. Obviously when I'm a little older I'll appreciate the easier access venues.

Re: What do you want from the BAAA good point made by curry, and I think the posts have shown this, it is a very diverse membership and that can only be a good thing. A bit of something to please everyone.

Re: What do you want from the BAAI don't think anyone can complain really for 40 quid, the litter issue will always be a problem, and I agree with putting the price up, it might deter some of the folk none of us want on the river (but theyd probably fish it without a card anyway). As has been said, if it was £100, I'd still have a card, it would still be good value.

Re: What do you want from the BAAI would agree with pretty much all the comments made, except the price increase. A small increase yes maybe £5-£10 as we don't want to price your average angler (like me) out of the club.

Re: What do you want from the BAAIn my opinion the only thing that greatly increasing the card price will do is punish the less well off.

Re: What do you want from the BAAIt's a slightly dubious comment to say that putting the price up might deter some of the folk that none of us want on the river. I.e. people with less money? Belsh - what i actually meant was it's genuine anglers that we want on the bank, regardless of their financial staus. I've fished the waters of other clubs, ones with a higher subscription, and the problems there are definitely less, less litter etc. I know it may not solve all the problems, but I think it may help. I'm certainly not alone in thinking that.

Re: What do you want from the BAAJohnny Care..... Just side stepping things for a moment I have watched your videos on You Tube, good they are too, just what fishing videos should be, a bloke fishing and catching fish, not a bloke fishing trying to be a TV presenter. .. Recommended

Re: What do you want from the BAAI'd like a club that actively engage with its member. Take this board for example, how often do BAA representatives come on to clear things up or engage in discussion? Pretty rare. The survey was a waste of space if they are not willing to share the findings. Not worth the effort if it's all a secret as it makes me feel that they didn't like what they read so don't want to ruffle any feathers.
