Agree with you there John, if you can see it why can't the Angling Trust? Or is it a case that you being Disabled you have better insight and knowledge than the able bodied who arrange and set these matches up.

I was there as an able bodied helper to a mate. I must admit that the governing body representation was a little thin on the ground ie organiser Andre & Terry Fell only! I ended up helping with the weigh in just to speed it up a bit. As as far as location I thought it was ideal with concrete paths & pegs to fish from. I also heard that the venue was voted on to be there so nobody can really moan about that, made a nice change for the southern lads not to have to make a journey. Fishing could have been a bit better but that's fishing.
