PAC membership

Hi guys


I am considering joining the PAC and then hopefully attend some of the local meetings [wakefield]

How many members on here are members - who has attended meetings in the past?

any thoughts on PAC membership and the meetings appreciated.

Think ady and Cheif are PAC members

If you join the Pac, you can fish Fairburn for £10 a year

I've only heard good things about the PAC, doing their bit to end the days of old 'bash the pike' mentality which is so outdated and unnecessary in my opinion.

I've not done the PAC website trawl fully but it all looks like a well run club with good intentions. Genuinely care about the sport and dedicate a lot of time to raise awareness in the handling and well-being of the fish.

I know there are a few members on here and I'm sure they'll be on to advise the quality of the talks and maybe a bit of info on the waters they offer rights on.

The website is http://www.pacgb.co.uk/

Joining the PAC can only be a good thing for Pike fishing and the Pikes welfare, we are talking about the fish that gets abused more than any other fish in our waters, sad fact but true.

The PAC has other advantages like privileged access to trout waters, a quarterly magazine and club outings. Peter Green (Mark Greens dad) runs the Wakefield region, a nicer guy you will struggle to meet and the region is very well run. I have been to a number talks at a number of regions and they are all worth a visit.

i would deffinatly recommend it mate, as woody said wakefield is a well run region. i have been going to the selby region meets as it was mark (and woody) who got me involved. as said you can fish fairburn for a tenner and the talks are very informative, next month we're hoping to have some bloke called mason whos gonna waffle on about how he catches a few jacks on his big S plugs

just thought i'd add this info for this thursdays selby region meeting

Sheffield pike angler Pete Foster will be presenting the Selby PAC Region with a talk/Slideshow on Thursday 21st January.

Venue Details

The Crown Inn Public House
Main Street
Hemingbrough
Selby
North Yorkshire
Y08 6QE

Non PAC members welcome.

Start Time 8.00pm

£3 Admission


just to add the pac does lots to try and teach and educate other anglers about pike. the mag is just about worth the joining fee so give it a shot

do you have to join a certian region to fish fairburn? i'm sure i read in thier mag that some of the local lads were complaining that other regions had rights to thier local waters but they couldn't fish it themselves? i could be wrong and probably am but i'm sure i read something like that somewhere

i'd join the PAC but i wouldn't be able to attend any of there meetings as most are held though the week and i work nights ...

Hi


Cheers - i have joined and also sent my application off re fairburn.

I can't do the selby meeting but intend to go to the next wakefield one on the 9th feb.

Am gunna kill Mark Green, I was only thinking about it, because he asked me to do one, and he goes and announces it before I can say anything

no you dont have to be a member of a certain region to join fairburn, anyone can join even non pac members. the pac have created a region just for fairbun as a club like, called the aire valley region.

its a shame you cant make thursday healdy i could have got mark to bring your pass and you could have been on this weekend. im gonna be!!

pass on my regards to mark green......

When I eventually get around to having a session with you we will have a natter

im not 100% sure but i think you can fish once they receive your cash, you could give pete green a ring and check. could use the company

anytime woody, been eyeing that boat of yours .

but seriously would like to get out for a sesh with you, just on lures think i'd learn loads. especially on jerks still not 100% on them
