Evening all,
As a new member this year and by no means a local one (I live in East Kent) attending the AGM is something that would not be possible for myself. I have joined this year with a view to having a "holiday" fishing the middle Severn for a week in October. During that week I may want to fish further in to darkness than the 1 hour after sunset rule. Because I can not predict weather conditions or which evenings that I may want to fish later I would have to purchase 7 night fishing tickets this cost being nearly double the membership fee just because I May want to fish a couple of extra hours in to darkness and will be staying at a hotel so cant exactly have the permits sent there. Now I understand (to an extent) ruling is in place, but the way permit purchases have to be made actively discourage people from purchasing them. I understand all I am doing is raking over old ground but there must be a better way to do things.
At the AGM I assume the treasurer gives a finance breakdown of monies in and out?
perhaps the treasurer would be kind enough to furnish the members with the income made from night fishing permits. That cost could then be broken down to cost per member and the membership fees increased to cover that cost? now I know there will be plenty of people saying " I dont want to fish nights so why should I pay more" that's fine then perhaps an enhanced rate could be made for members who do want to fish late evening/nights.
There have been suggestions of web based portals etc etc these come at a cost to the club so are not attractive but a one off payment once a year (with your renewal) would be minimum admin and minimal outlay.
Just a thought.
*edit* Sorry Onelastcast just realised Ive just said exactly the same thing as you suggested. It does make sense though.

Meatman, sounds like my idea of heaven.
Like the "Solar Powered" anglers  we suffer with them down on the Stour. The section outside Canterbury that holds Barbel is mainly quite narrow (10-15 yards across) gin clear, pretty gravel stream and the Noddies (our version of Solar powered's) just trash the place, open fires, rubbish everywhere and it is an absolute travesty.

Curry,
Thanks for the reply. I know we are quite a way off yet but was hoping to get a general sort of feel for the area. I figured being around Hampton Loade area I was on to a winner to start with (well fingers crossed anyway). I know it's not an ideal time of the year but I couldnt get away from the wife any earlier I will ask for advice closer to the time though.

Hi All,
I'm a new member this year from Canterbury down in Kent and have booked a weeks holiday in October to get some fishing in. We are staying at Chelmarsh (the Bulls Head) and was wondering if anyone would be willing to help out with a bit of info on the Barbel fishing in the area. Barbel fishing in my local river (the Stour) is all very much stalked single fish and the numbers are few and far between so its very light leads, single hookbaits etc etc. Now I know people wont wanna give away their marks etc but just a bit of advice would be nice.
