Hi Graham, As you had no inkling of the stocking could you please tell me who allowed this to happen, Not the committee per se but the names of the people All the major decisions are made by the L&DSS (leeds & district secret society) You never see them, you never hear from them, you cant talk to them but they are out there making all the decisions on your behalf with the clubs money. I think there are only 2 or 3 in the secret society but nobody really knows but good luck getting a answer troutman.

The decision was approved on a vote by members of the Fisheries Management Committee. If you are a Leeds member then you can look in your yearbook to see who is on this committee. If you are not a member then it is not of your concern I am still not totally enlightened as to the complex working and relationships between the various committees and Delegates (Delegates represent members of affiliated clubs) but i was of the impression that all sub committee decisions are approved or otherwise by Delegates. A list of all the delegates and their names and attendances at meetings can be found in the annual report. You obtain a copy of the Annual Report by getting off your rear end , putting some petrol in your car and attending the AGM otr you can stop at home and watch Corrie and just come here and moan on an ad hoc basis which is a lot easier and more convenient

Sorry to rock the boat You're not rocking the boat bud. Its a Forum and its here for people to express their opinions. I know you are a Leeds member and I believe Winter is as well , but as you are probably aware I am a strong advocate of this Forum being closed to Leeds members and until it is, I for one won't be posting any detailed info relating to the clubs activity on it . As mentioned , anyone that wants to know who their club officials are along with named members of sub committees only have to look in their yearbooks . Catch you at Skip Bridge in June . . . dont be overfeeding my favourite pegs

I don't understand Rushy, do you mean Leeds members shouldn't be able to post, or that non members shouldn't be allowed even though they are registered? Other forums have tried the restricted, "members only" route, and their sites have really gone downhill without the input from non members. BOF

Other forums have tried the restricted, "members only" route, and their sites have really gone downhill without the input from non members. BOF Hi Bof Yup, thats exactly what I mean mate - but it is only my opinion . Its a Leeds And District ASA Forum so I believe it would be better if only members of Leeds and District ASA should be able to view it and post on it. Registration should be by provision of your yearbook number. That way we dont get non members trying to bring subjects to the fore (or just being mischeivous and stirring things up ) when its of no consequence to them. Unfortunately as you say , there are one or two regular non member posters who contribute some good stuff (as we have on here - no names mentioned ) that you will miss out on. Theres lots of other good general fishing Forums out there , some of which both you and I are members, Yorkshire Fishing etc. I agree that some of the other Forums with restricted membership have gone downhill (eg . Bradford No 1 ) and are not very active but a Forum is only as good as its participating members. We, Forum AC , have our own Forum which is members only and , touchwood , it is a very active , varied and friendly Forum. All the best Rusty

There are more ex members that maybe do not fish as often as they would like nowadays, that remember their days with their former angling club with great fondness, but are no longer active members of the association. These same folk may have the experience needed to see the forum topics advance in a fair and sensible manner, but if the forum goes totally members only could not contribute. So what happens? One sided, almost propaganda like posts, or worse, the topics are taken over by total "numpties" posting argumentative rubbish under the guise of "banter", or "wit". Sorry, my age is showing, I am clearly getting to the GOG stage in life ie Grumpy Old Git. Back to sensible members............ BOF

BOF I was having a conversation the other day and we got onto the affiliated / non affiliated members topic. I'm all for the one member one price option , but that's another topic. I was saying that what would really interest me would be : If hypothetically , we announced by personal email to all members that there is a meeting to be held to discuss the way forward with the club . . . . How many of the " 1800 " members would turn up ? I would be very surprised if any more than 75 to 100 turned up . . . . . . .

Regarding non-member access to the forum and the new website (when it eventually appears). From the society's viewpoint I would guess one of the main motivations for having them is to attract new members but that doesn't always fit well with the need of the existing members so the usual way of dealing with this is to have a members only section and an open section that way both needs are catered for. This of course needs a certain amount of savvy to deal with the administration and verification of members credentials. These things are never as simple as appears at first look.

BOF Unfortunately true bof york forum went members only and now there are half a dozen old die hards and that's about it. Going over old ground here Troutman York was always quite anyway I agree with Dave should be members only over half the arguments on here was people not affiliated to the club ,you could have a guest page for people who are interested in joining the club which allows them to look at the waters or find out info about the club . I do think a!ot of people get fed up and get bored with forums because of the same old people throwing abuse at each other .I've been on this forum a few years and had time out because of people like this gets boring, as Dave says we have a forum AC which is very active and a good one because its for members who are all friends who are interested in one thing and that's FISHING!!!

The arguments on here used to kill all debate and discussion, it would go dead for a few days afterwards. We have plenty of members and we should be more free to express opinions on a closed forum, some open page's are a great idea and I would suggest the way to go!

I know I`m a member but my opinion is
Leeds do day tickets maybe non members who buy day tickets are just trying to find out some info on waters they want to fish, wouldn't you want to do the same.
if I was a non member I`d want to find out as much info as possible, I think that the only reason go on the forum.
just saying JB.
