Fisheries Vision - Meeting Dates

[LeonRoskilly]

Dear all

You may be aware of the Fisheries Vision which is currently out to
consultation until April 26th.

(see: http://www.sacn.org.uk/Conservation-...ries_2007.html )

Between now and then we have organised a series of trips around the coast to talk to the industry about the Vision and get their input.

I have had a few calls from recreational sea anglers saying that the trips have not been advertised enough.

I therefore wondered if you would be able to spread the word and publicise these forthcoming events.

If there are any websites, newsletters etc Id be most grateful if the following dates could be menitioned.


Feb 28th- Scarborough : Crown Hotel, 19.00 start

March 15th- Grimsby : National Fish Heritage Centre, 'fred smith room'.
14.00 start

March 21st- Lancaster : Holiday Inn, 18.30 start

March 22nd- North Shields, Fishermens Mission- - 14.00 start with merchants,
19.30 start with industry.

March 26th- Lowestoft- Hotel Victoria- 19.00 start

March 30th- Hastings : Horntye Park, Bohemia Road- 14.00 start

April 3rd- Plymouth : - The China Pub, 14.00 start.


Many thanks. Please get in touch if you want to discuss.

Best wishes
