God, not even there and i got a mention, can assure you I did get the information about the meeting and it was in both my angling columns. What you have got to remember is that nothing happens over night the NFSA who i do not always see eye to eye with on certain matters have been banging away for many years, along with other federations, not only with the government to change things but to get anglers to back the angling bodies. this could be simply by sending a letter or e mail to a government body many will not and then they shout that nothing is being done for them. After many years banging their head against a very thick brick wall the NFSA are now making headway and are getting some things done, yes many seem to be down south as bass and tope, but this shows what can be achieved with the backing of anglers. I know members of the NFSA who have sat for weeks at public enquiries, and other bodies taking time off work using up their holidays while most anglers use them for basking in the sunshine and then demand what are you doing about such and such \"bait digging is one matter\" As i have said i do not agree with some issues of the NFSA but knocking an organisation which is trying to do something to help fellow anglers without getting off your backsides and supporting them when it is needed is totally out of order. They are looking into many matters regarding angling but these will not be resolved overnight.
