This is a dedicated thread for discussing article: Angling Trust £1,000 Prize Draw for New Members
In recent forum threads, a lot of you members out there wanted to know just what Fishingmagic and the angling trade are doing to support the Angling Trust.
I hope that this new prize draw scheme, initiated by Fishingmagic and Fish & Fly and backed by the very generous Diawa tackle company, will answer some of your questions.
(PS. and that makes five press releases from AT in less than two months.)
Hats off to Daiwa for their support!
But why was this initiated by FM and Fly and Fishing instead of AT?
Hats off to everyone involved, at least it is a step forward and not backwards.

Doesn't matter, it's done now, but let's wind the story back a little.
AT released a PR saying that it was in trouble and needed more members. You lot started voicing your opinions, good and bad, and AT must have got a message that they must do something, but what?
Enter FM (not me for sure and I'm pretty certain not Graham either - we are part of a business don't forget), who contacted AT and Daiwa and brokered an agreement. Now, a little bird tells me it was our site owner, Richard and others. So I believe it's him and the rest of the staff at FM and F&F and AT you have to thank. Not forgetting Daiwa's generosity of course.
Whatever, we (the editors certainly and Richard) will give this initiative all the support we can over the coming weeks and wish AT all the very best of luck in overcoming a lot of their current difficulties.

And Stop Shouting
Not wishing to appear negative but just what percentage of the angling (rod license holding) public read this web site? If they dont by a R/L they sure as hell wont be joining the AT anyway
I agree with Morespiders this really should not be happening at all.
And Ray, big lettering is not shouting, (that's for the poorly sighted) THIS IS SHOUTING
