Re: BAA in the news This year, every member has been issued with a copy of the BAA Bye-laws along with their membership card, so no excuse for being ignorant of the rules - unless of course you don't read it? Posted on March 31, 2022 at 9:43 AM

Re: Politics Hey, ho.Once again my feeble atempt at humour / irony falls flat. Neil, you really do need to lighten up mate. Give yourself a treat and drop the Victor Meldrew impersonation once in a while. I know you've got it in you. Cheers Posted on January 16, 2022 at 10:37 AM
Politics Hi boys and girls. Please stick to criticising the BAA on this forum and out of politics. There are plenty of platforms which would welcome your comments on Boris, lock down parties et al, but not this one. Cheers Posted on January 15, 2022 at 8:06 AM
Re: Prompt service from the BAA Onelastcast, I was recently speaking to former BAA Executive member Steve Whitton (Droitwich Angling Centre) regarding the installation of an otter proof fence around a new carp lake which he has constructed, and whilst I would not dream of revealing how much it cost him, it frightened me to death. The engineering involved to do a proper job is very extensive, including installing concrete underneath the fence to prevent the little blighters from excavating under it. Self closing gates with electric locks, the full monty. And this was on a flat level piece of open ground. To do something similar around Coppice Lake would involve the removal of all or most of the trees and extensive excavation to avoid undermining the dam, which would probably have to be reinforced. I fear that even if it was practical, the cost would run to many tens of thousands of pounds just for that one lake alone. I would never rule anything out, but even BAA's pockets have a limit Posted on January 10, 2022 at 1:21 PM
