Bit of a bumber that mate,can you fish with a senior member?if so,id try and tag on to one of the regulars that knows your a keen angler and not a weapon just dicking about.If not,poach it. I poached loads of waters when i started carping,coz no-one like us(carp-anglers)and we dont care.Clubs seem a little more tolerent nowadays of our unscrupulous sorts.

yes , of course they can.if they have changed the rules at the agm and it was voted on then your stuffed ! i hope that clears it up for you james

Which club we talkin about here. Northwich? Lymm?

Thats really not on that mate potentialy ruining your year. If you have no luck then you'l just have to get fidning a new water for this year .

I would of thought they would consider you if you had references from other anglers about your behviour. try and get a little petition going of some sorts. Also mention that your the future of the club if it dumps its youth members now surely it aint gonna have many senior members in the future.

hope you work something out

Sounds crazy. Are you sure its nothing to do with safety regulations. Because if an accident should happen to a youngster, the club could be held responsible. On the other hand, the club could be seeing it like this, young anglers bring young none anglers to a water who spoil it for other anglers ie noise litter rowdy behavior etc. However if the matter is caused by non friends, outsiders etc then it is upto the clubs bailiffs to sort it, in this case the club could have looked at alternatives ie accomanied by an adult,fishing on not so prized waters only, or even a rule like any angler haveing litter in swim or being a pain in the butt to others etc should be barred from club. Dont think the club would have done it if a problem was not evident. So a minority might have spoilt it for you. best to join a club that caters for young peeps.

Cheers for the advice from you lads . looks like im stuffed Martin? .
