Hi Dave, the details of the fishing at Middleham need to be updated also. According to my source in the local club (Bolton AC),the left bank limit sign is misplaced. The length extends a further 3 fields down and finishes the field above Beggars Mouth Beck at Spennithorne. Best Wishes Chris I half bow to your local knowledge, but from when I was there in April I am pretty sure that the 2 lengths aren't contiguous and that there's a gap of a field or two, then we just have the Spennithorne field from the Beck to the S***** Pool (sssh) I now totally bow to your knowledge and bow again in apology, as I mis-read you, you aren't saying the lengths are contiguous, there's one field of gap above Beggar's Mouth before the Spennithorne field.

I think if we are updating the site following Yorks lead and keeping things in house and private by using membership numbers to log in has got to be the way forward ,,, Its the way forward why would you want non members accessing a leeds forum , It probably causes more problems than any positive gain. I am a member of York but I have to say there forum Is very very quiet, not sure how there membership stacks up against Leeds. Also a member of Hull {not for much longer I might add} there forum Is busier than Yorks but still relatively quiet and of course Its very very carpy!!! I would say if your anything other than a carper your well In the minority In Hull and district thats why I joined leeds and York clubs . Not sure If you have your forum membership deleted If you dont renew In Hull but I am not bothered its pretty much all Carping anyway. I know you need to have your forum membership approved by submitting your membership details to the forum admin for York and district.

Forums are like vampires; they feed off new blood. Daft questions from the likes of me help keep things going (I like to think). This is not really about the website, just about my suggestion for better communication that I will keep putting forward - one of the great things about a regular email bulletin (updates on club acquisitions, waters, bailiffing, meetings minutes, rules, catch reports, match reports, working parties, EA news, AT news, etc) would be that it could take highlights off this forum (with permission of the original contributors) and refer people to threads & photos on here and that in turn would get more people on the forum. So for example this month's (imaginary) email bulletin to the whole membership - or to those who would choose to register an e-m address with the club anyway, and they would have a free choice not to - could include a reference to the "Horseshoe Bend" peg guide I put on here t'other day, and before you know it there'd be five or ten old timers on this forum reminiscing about the good old days round T'Bend, and a fortnight later there'd be a whole working party of new forumites down there with their scythes ........(well, probably ) Them that wants to stay secretive about what fish are coming out of where would probably stay even more secretive, but that's their choice.

Nige, I can't fault your enthusiasm mate but with the greatest respect your impression of the inner workings of the club are a little idyllic to say the least But fear not , I have the solution to enlighten you ! I'm going sea fishing on the Welsh Coast next week so will be unable to attend the Delegates meeting on Thursday. We can send a " stand in " . . . . . . I will let Graham know you will be attending with Eddie in my place It's Eddies round by the way so you should be okay for a pint . . . Worthys Creamflow mmmmmm

I must agree stevo the york site has gone very quiet since going members only. The York site was never the busiest of site's anyway ,I used to be on it regular they was only an hand full used to use it regularly and 3 committee men Ken ,Mikel and Jezzer . Didn't renew my book this year been a member for over 30 yrs but I finished with the forum and the club because of the lack of action on work parties as you will see if you go over my old post's

Nige, I can't fault your enthusiasm mate but with the greatest respect your impression of the inner workings of the club are a little idyllic to say the least I know my suggestion, although entirely practical, is unlikely to find favour. But I am under no illusions as to how the club is run; you only need to look at the yearbook and the premises themselves to see its stuck in the 1950s at the latest (though the beer would have been better then, you're right). You only need to look at the way some of the decisions are made and communicated to know that it is run by people who have spent their lives in old-fashioned unaccountable heirarchies where if you're not in the know you have no say, and where as few stakeholders as possible are consulted on decisions. Their attitude on consultation & accountability re. Topcliffe, as the obvious example, is jaw-dropping, or seems to be jaw-dropping because there is no real communication (and until there is I'll make all the assumptions I like). While angling clubs are stuck in a time warp, whole generations of potential recruitment are lost and ironically, that will ultimately mean LESS continuity for L&DASA in the long run, not more.

Change comes fast, change comes slow. There has been (I feel) much forward movement with the Leeds club of late.
Nothing is perfect, and I agree that Topcliffe was a giant blooper Nige, in fact, it hurt!
There s life and a spirit on the forum at the moment, this I feel is flowing back into the organisation, I salute Dave for putting his head above the parapet in many ways to represent the views of many of the river anglers (myself included).
I also salute you Nige for the energy that you have brought to the forum, and I think you may well be influential in the future as regards change, should you wish to take up the mantle.
I don't see a time warp, I see change happening, all be it slowly.
Hang on in there :-)

I would like to see a link to the barbel handling code on the new website as it would be a great help to new barbel anglers

durham city angling club use a (BOSC) Bailiffs online system check where when you join online you send a picture of yourself and every bailiff that checks your memebership only needs your membership number to check on their mobile so no need to have membership books.....might be something leeds could look into doing in future as it would help bailiffs who come up against people who forget books
