Calling all bailiffs!!

If you haven't yet got around to deciding whether to get involved in the Voluntary Bailiff Service you really need to make your minds up soon. 
The next Midlands VBS induction day and the ONLY one for 2017 will be held on Saturday 29th April in Worcester, so you still have a few weeks left to become a part of the wider fisheries enforcement initiative to tackle fish theft and illegal angling in the Midlands. I am really keen to get more interest generated so please consider a couple of questions that you should ask yourselves...

1. If we as passionate anglers will not assist the EA to look after our sport for the future generations - then who will?

2. If we don't get involved now - when will we ever?

A lot of anglers said it was well overdue when we started VBS just over 12 months ago so there is no reason to delay getting involved any further. After all, at Phase 1 all we ask of you is that you go fishing or walking and talking to people and report back to us what you see and hear whilst enjoying the day. That is it - it really is!! There are NO high expectations about the number of hours you have to put in or inconvenient commitments or appointments for you to keep and EVERY reason to contribute by becoming part of our team.

If anyone has a good reason why every angling club or association in the country should not have at least one or two voluntary bailiffs as part of VBS then please email or message me that reason as I'd be very interested in your thoughts. It is absolutely essential for us all be part of an information-sharing network and to be better connected with the EA and local police so that we can pull together and protect our waters.

We stand at a crossroads in fishing in this country and we really need to get organised and enthused about making sure that future generations will have the fantastic experiences we have all enjoyed through angling, so please...

GET INVOLVED TODAY! you are ALL welcome.

Please email any expressions of interest to Karen.sarkar@anglingtrust.net who will send you more details of VBS and how to apply. VBS members currently need to be members of Angling Trust for insurance purposes but membership brings many advantages so check out the AT website today.

Thank you
