The Thames Anglers Conservancy (T-A-C) will be officially launched mid January 2010 by a group of like-minded anglers who fish the river Thames and share the concern of the seemingly uncaring, even cavalier attitude shown by the several different agencies, PLC’s and other authorities charged with the duty of maintaining and improving the environment of the river.
The development of this web site is on-going and hopefully will become the main focal point when officially launched mid January not only the anglers who fish the river but for ALL who have an interest in the river Thames.
To assist the T-A-C in realising its ambitions the Committee will be working towards the Conservancy being a member of the Angling Trust.
The Angling Trust:
Angling Trust is the new, single organisation to represent all game, coarse, specimen and sea anglers and angling in England.
The formation of Angling Trust brings with it a positive new future for angling. For the first time ever, there is a single body to take cohesive action to solve all the problems that affect our sport.
This came about when the four major angling bodies, the National Association of Fisheries & Angling Consultative’s, Specialist Anglers’ Alliance, National Federation of Anglers and the National Federation of Sea Anglers together with the Anglers Conservation Association agreed in January 2009 to pool their resources and became the single unified body with the intention representing all anglers and fisheries, The Angling Trust. A new separate organisation, Fish Legal, was established to take over the work previously carried out by the ACA
After decades of fragmented representation the Angling Trust, in less than 12 months from being formed, has recently been recognised by Sport England as the governing body for angling and angling development throughout England
