The Carp Society has further strengthened its governing body in recruiting Mark Gregory and RMC boss Ian Welch to the board of Directors.

Mark brings a high degree of integrity and skill to the society from his wide and varied role as an officer with the South Yorkshire Police.

Mark has also been instrumental in forming a company called Coarse Fishing Services which has resulted from a long history of creating and managing fisheries. The combination of these means the society benefits from a considerable knowledge of practical and legal aspects of fishery management.

The Society welcomes back Ian Welch who as the RMC angling boss brings considerable knowledge to the Society.

Ian Welch has been the driving force behind RMC Angling for over a decade and is totally committed to the furtherance of carp fishing in the UK. He brings his vast communication skills to the Society and will be adopting a PR and marketing role.

Ian commented “I am delighted to be back on board at the Carp Society and I look forward to working with the rest of the team to further the aims of the Society in particular and carp angling in general.”

Commercial Director David Mannall comments “The appointment of both these guys is a huge step forward for the Society. We now have strength in depth to push forward the expansion plans we have, we now have the management skill levels we have been seeking for some time and I’m delighted with these new appointments.
