Unification of Angling

There have been some comments on the bulletin boards about SAA not signing letters of intent to join the new body, when it is formed, interestingly mostly from anglers who are not members of SAA.

SAA is fully supportive of the move towards unity and has been pushing the agenda for change for many years. We have no staff to transfer their employment and no assets, belonging to the organisation, so there is no need for us to sign any letter of intent as we only have our cash resources to transfer into the new body when it is up and running. SAA, and our members, has already pledged itself to the new structure and we want to see it up and running with professional management as soon as possible.

Rest assured that SAA will be in the new body and specialist anglers will be represented within that structure. At the moment none of us knows how and when – that is still being discussed.
