Anglers Get A Louder Voice

The merger of six angling and conservation bodies creating the Angling Trust, the new voice of angling, was completed to plan on Monday, January 5 2009.

“The Angling Trust is the new, single organisation to represent all game, coarse and sea anglers and angling in England. As the governing body for all angling, the Angling Trust will seek government funding to develop the sport from grass roots participation through to elite performance.”

This can only be good news for all anglers as with a larger membership base than individual organisations we can hopefully now have more of a say in how our sport, and hence the environment and countryside we all love, is managed.
