Hi everyone,
Have you had a look at the NFA's new website yet?
At the moment you have to register to log-on to use it but it is free and when doing so one of the first articles you come across is one by a Fred Davis.
I have take the liberty of copying a part of the article and if you'd like to read more then you'll have to read it on their site (just so that I don't upset anyone
).
Here is the bit that I copied:
A QUESTION OF PERSPECTIVE AND BAD COMMUNICATION?
In a recent discussion with Keith Arthur about the NFA he sugested that all anglers should give up the lottery and donate that money to the NFA, My reaction was that it would be a waste of money, why? well if you ask the average angler they will tell you that the NFA is an elitist organisation,concerned only with the nationals and england representative sides, the NFA also panders to the trade,it is an antiquated organisation that is in need of modernisation and does not represent the ordinary angler, some anglers also referred to it as being run by club officials, by a bunch of amateurs,In actual fact the NFA are well known for shooting themselves in the foot look at the Essex county debarkle, more recently the disabled qualifier where anglers compeating for an england place were able to overhear NFA officials say that the team was virtually already decided, Malc Doyle was so incensed he wrote a letter to the angling press which was well publicised.....
Looks like someone listened Malc,
The rest of the article can be read on their site which is here: http://www.nfadirect.com/
