Hi i am looking to join a club next season in the fife area does anyone know of any who are looking for new members??? any help appreciated

Your question has got me thinking.
Why do you want to be a member of a club?
I aint a member of any club anymore, and to be honest my fishing experience is better without the club outings and regulations.
Drawbacks are I cant enter any of the proper national qualifiers as an individual.
Plus points are I dont have to make time for club outings/meetings.
Reason the question got me thinking, there are tens of thousands of anglers like me, we do it for the being there.
Now what if there was an internet club not associated with any area, where members could fish qualifying competitions local to them, without the time consuming, and often useless meeting of other members at pre ordained times and meeting places?
Alll information would be passed through club web site. Low cost, High value.
I am able and willing to construct such a club.
Just need the impetus of numbers to push it on.
think on

Q 1.Why do you want to be a member of a club?

2.Drawbacks are I cant enter any of the proper national qualifiers as an individual.

A 1. its nice to meet fellow anglers from the same areas that may fish the same waters and share hints on certain ways to fish them.
A 2. some of us like to fish for pleasure without the neeed to compete.

fishytales, i also started a thread on the same topic last week but got very little answers. maybe we need to start our own club just so we can enter some "of the proper national qualifiers"

cheers

thanks bob and like yourself i see it as a way of meeting new anglers and swap ideas/flies.never really gave much thought to the competition side of things but hey one step at a timelets hope weget some info on this thread bob or we could just meet up and fish ourselves

Not the be all and end all, but meetings between fellow anglers within said club is a given, on organised outings if required.
As to exchanging advice/technigues/tactics, this is already carried out on forums like this, and would be perpetuated within the clubs web site to the point of secrecy to that site!
The only benefit to registered club members, over and above the obvious sharing of knowledge, and camaradrie, would be the abillity to compete in qualifiers as previously stated, in their own area, river or loch (lake), and indeed own comfort zone, without the obvious need to be nominated by committee!.

i like your idea in theory aenoon but getting enough interested folk in different areas might be a hard task???? still food for thought though

i cant speak for fishytales, but i dont want to join a comitte or any other association. all i would like is for a few guys from the same area to meet up now and again for some light hearted banter and a good days fishing.

is that to much?

i guess there must be no clubs or there top secret in fife

Plenty clubs in Fife but you haven't said what type of fishing or club you want to join.
Fly, bait, bank, boat, river, loch, own water etc.
