What car is it Sam? We have one for a Fabia 2

Thank you Steve, will pass this on.

Members spotting stuff 'sus' !! and reporting is essential and in this case, probably played a critical role in supporting the bailiff and the eventual official attendance, resulting in the arrest. Hats off B's & G's.

When first arrested they had away all his kit and vehicles. He pleaded hardship so they gave him back the vehicles within 48 hours. if I recall it was not long afterwards he was caught again.

The Echo have run the article again today rewritten (I assume they are short of column) Kate referred in the headline and column that Barton was a 'Rouge Angler' !!! I have explained to her (with courtesy), the differences between recreational anglers and fisherman and also a bit of detail on commercial, licensed fish and 'black fish' including the damage to all concerned and the environment caused by illegal fishing. I hope to have a response today.

Yes, although a local bailiff had been observing for a while to actually catch the barstuard red handed................ and he did............ TWICE. Part of the reason they were able to use the 'proceeds of crime' calculation to really bust him.

My son (30) has asked if there are any second hand kayaks around? He is quite broad minded as to what he might end up with but is looking for something with dry storage to maybe carry some camping stuff. A river boat would do, he thinks, but I would be minded to look for something of a higher class for when he gets into it proper. He's not a big angler and angling isn't the primary aim, but a consideration if the yak is appropriate. Anything out there - any suggestions? I know this is a bit 'loose' but just getting a feel for it before setting a budget. Cheers Trev

Happy Birthday Boyz & Happy Anniversary T' Club too!! Sorry I can't be there tomorrow, but Jim has offered to eat my cake and drink my beer too so all should go smoothly! Thanks Jim.

Heard on the radio the other day that in July this year another 330,000 tonnes of sand is to be dumped on Bournemouth beach!! guess we all know where that will end up -same place as the last lot! Think I'm pulling out of Xchurch for a year or so to see where this all goes.

Had a reply from Scott Mann today. Dear Trevor, Thank you for writing and for your support. I completely understand the points you make, and that's why it was important to get the debate that I led a couple of weeks ago. The current rules in place are not fair and I want to see a policy which conserves bass stocks but also accommodates anglers for the small impact they have. The debate had a lot of passionate speakers, and it’s encouraging to see that so many MPs were keen to speak on behalf of the angling industry. Kind regards, Oll an gwella Scott Mann Member of Parliament for North Cornwall Scott Mann MP Member of Parliament for North Cornwall

Sent my thanks to 3 MPs Scott for getting it in 'The House', My MP and the Xchurch MP as Xchurch is where I spend my money. Hope something positive comes of this. Well done PJ and all of the 'movers and shakers' Trev

Nice one Steve, Good to see you making the best of a slim window.
