It would seem that the newly formed and much heralded Anglers' Trust may only be able to represent clubs with an address in England leaving Welsh and Scottish anglers unrepresented. Clubs outside England will still be able to subscribe to and be represented by Fish Legal which has been split out to continue the A.C.A. legal work.

I'm not sure where this leaves anglers outside England but it would appear that they have been well and truly left out on a limb and that the Anglers' Trust is far from a single unified body that will represent all anglers in the UK and thus completely missing its raison d'etre.

How's that then? Are you saying they may not be allowed to operate outside England?

Yes, that is what seems to be the case incredible though it sounds.

That really is extraordinary if it really is the case. So, come on then, spill the beans - what's your source on this one?
