Trevor Harrop – Co-founder of the Avon Roach Project
It’s an unfortunate fact that ‘Angling’ in general is well known for its apathy and always seems eclipsed when it comes to being listened to and taken seriously regarding important ecological issues; so joining and supporting a unified representative body with an increasingly powerful voice is, as far as I’m concerned, a ‘no brainer’ and when asked to become an Angling Trust ambassador, that too was a ‘no brainer’ and indeed an honour for me.
I would urge every angler in the country to join as the more members there are, the greater volume our collective voice will have.
We are simply the custodians of the ‘here and now’ and all have a duty to look after and protect our amazing pastime and secure its legacy for future generations.
