PAC Region 16: David McLachlan talk 18th November, don't miss it!

Club News

It is with Great regret and sorrow that I have been put into the position of taking the decision to close the region. Andy and I have tried everything in our power to revitalise the region by any means available to us. I have been talking about this at meetings over the last two years but wanted to give our region a chance to survive.

What IS the reason, is basically due to the head count of PAC members who for whatever reason have not been attending the meetings even when a big name has agreed to do a presentation.

The regional numbers have dropped and it did close before so I believe people / members will show interest again; when that happens the region might just be able to restart.

Andy and I will remain advertised in Pike Lines as ROs for the region so there are PAC contacts in our Area who can encourage new members to attend other regions within reach of where they live during the closure.

Those members who have supported our region consistently over the years I thank you for your support in trying to keep our area going.

Thank you once again

David McLachlan talk 18th November, don't miss it!

Last month, Stephen Harper visited Region 16 to give his talk on the history of Broadland Piking. It turned out to be a very well attended and highly informative evening, Stephen being both incredibly knowledgeable on his subject, whilst presenting in a light and engaging manner. Thanks Steve, see you again no doubt!

Moving on to this month, we have Corby RO and Pikelines regular contributor David McLachlan. David has a vast experience in Piking, and judging by the articles he's written, he also fishes many of the waters haunted by R16 members...it promises to be a very interesting talk!

The Pike Anglers' Club of Great Britain

The Pike Anglers' Club of Great Britain was formed in 1977 as a direct result of changing attitudes toward pike. For far too long pike had been regarded by fishery owners and some anglers as vermin, to be killed and removed at all costs. Since it's inception, the PAC has done much to drastically change this mistaken attitude and pike are now widely regarded as a positive element in the natural balance of any fishery.Pike fishing has without doubt become one of the most specialised branches of coarse fishing. Not least in the methods of handling, unhooking and safe return of the fish once caught.The PAC works continually for the benefit of all pike and pike anglers, we seek only to further the opportunities for pike fishing, whilst preserving all that pike fishing is all about.We strive to protect pike from persecution by those who do not understand, or choose to ignore, the facts about the important role the pike plays in the balance of nature. We also work to promote pike conservation through safe practice by anglers.
