Thanks to some very diligent work by a PAC member an angling club’s chairman, who went behind the members of the club and arranged for a large section of a Stoke on Trent canal to be electro-fished and all pike removed, has been forced to resign.
The member’s work in searching out the truth, and in then bringing it forward to the club’s meeting, has shown that even an individual has a voice that can be heard and can make a difference in protecting our waterways and the right for pike and predators to a place in the natural ecological balance.
The out-going 11th PAC Committee had worked behind the scenes in offering advice and support to the member whilst he searched for the truth in bringing this issue forward to be dealt with. A credit to the individual concerned, and just one of the reasons the PAC continues to exist and thrive since its inception in 1977 some 35 years ago.
