Onelastcast, I am pleased that you have taken time to scrutinise the BAA acounts, however sometimes the figures do not give the full picture.
The amount shown in the accounts is the gross cost of postage. Don 't forget, whilst yes you can apply on-line for membership, it still has to be posted out to you and many members also purchase a guide book which costs more to post than it does to produce!
We also get back £1.50 p&p every time somepone buys a guide on-line, so in reality that income should be "netted" off the postage costs shown in the accounts. If this were to be done then our postage costs would be more than halved.
The cost of postage is very significant and we endevour to kept it to a minimum, however compared to the cost of installing otter proof fencingf it is a mere spit in the ocean.

We will be electro fishing some waters more than once over the course of the winter. Once I have dates and locations for the New year, I’ll contact you again to let you know of any on your clubs waters.
Kind regards

Every one agrees that only a strong, united voice is going to make any impression on the powers that be, one fishing club alone can never achieve this. If the Angling Trust truly wants to be seen as the representative and governing body for the sport of angling, then it has to take the lead.
There are hundreds of fishing clubs affiliated to AT, including the biggest in the land. I am sure that if AT took a lead then every club would support them.

Oh dear. So my feeble attempt at humor (sarcasm) fell on deaf ears. Lighten up onelastcast, just for a moment, after all it is the season of goodwill. Or do you prefer to be known as the perennial "Scrooge" Bahh Humbug?

Great idea! We can have all electric gates too, so you wouldn't need to even get out of your nice warm car to open them. And how about an app on your 'phone that would enable you to fish remotely, you wouldn't even need to get out of bed then to go fishing.
Please send all requests to Santa, C/O BAA .................
