considering alot of us pay a considerable contribution to IFSA and some of us pay it several times, i think its a joke that the teams have to pay every penny themselves. for example the shore team this year are going to brazil, this is going to cost a fortune, by winning the irish masters you get the privelage of paying out about 5 grand and no support.
its a joke :evil: :evil: :twisted: :twisted:

expences
I fished in portugal 2006 as a team member
by the time i was set up tackle wise, payed for flights ect......
it ran over 4 grand, the federation just pays your entrance fee to the comp ( monies raised from master angler)and maybe a small grant to your costs not much now.
i think its rediculous that as compeditors for your nation you have to fund themself, we all spend a lot of money on tackle, there is approx 50,000 anglers in ireland now consider how much the total revenue on tackle Bought, €20 per head per week is a million euro, how much do you spend a season already ive spent over €1500 on new tackle for this season.
the federation should get sponsorship or funding off the sports council, lotto ect........
to get their fingers out basically and stop having their free weekend at our expences.
this year they should have o lot more money if you consider the auwful excuse for a diary we got, its a disgrace

Yes. It's the diary thats reverting back to the old format
as a ma on the "inside" so to speak donal, do you know how much money does the IFSA make every year? Myself and Mickeyfish were discussing this recently and when you consider the amount of anglers and the amount of clubs it must make a fair few bob, take for instance the insurance racket that is being run, im insured 3 times this year, and for what?

ok thanks Donal, i can see that your obviously trying to keep to only expresing personal opinions and would rather that people with official IFSA business go through the correct channels, i apologise if i put you in a tight spot.

Tom.
Sadly SAI did not have a delegate at the a.g.m. in Monaghan then alot of other clubs were not there.
I'll say one thing to all i.f.s.a. members, no matter what club or provence your in, make sure your club has a delegate at provencial and national a.g.m's important decisions are made at these meetings that will effect you.
Standing back at the fence and taking pot shots at the federation is not on when clubs have not the decency to turn up for a.g.m's.
Again take these points to your club secretary make them bring them up at provencial level. As long as I've been a member of the i.f.s.a. I never had a problem getting answers by going the right way about it.
"Standing back at the fence and taking pot shots at the federation is not on when clubs have not the decency to turn up for a.g.m's. "
Donal,
I hope you don't think my suggestion was taking a shot from the fence.
I don't see any harm if the rank and file members want to see a report (that is open to any club) posted for all to see on a forum such as this one.....I maybe wrong though, there maybe good reason not to.

turn heads
if you want to turn heads ask for an up to date copy of the constitution, as we are all governed by these rules it would be nice to see it in writing, otherwise the rules we fish under are just hearsay
i automatically qualified for the master angler this year as post irish, through hearsay and the secretary of my province i was led to beleive that there would be no fee attached, i personnally had to pay €200
i was my club master angler and stood down as i was post irish to give the oppurtunity to another club member.
my loss

mick barry

This is very interesting,in other words if there is no constitution now in place and as a result no ''rulebook'' can exist then to go back to mcclay's origional query is there a possibility that if somebody had failed to qualify for this year's master angler then that person could challenge it in court or alternative legal means to gain access to the competition if that person felt strongly enough about it? Now there is a farcical situation looming!
Thanks for that Paul.
Thanks for that Paul.
iv had the matter cleared up, and yes the IFSA does have a constitution and it is under review but this new and improved version should be out shortly. I am not a club secretary nor am i on any steering committee so i dont no the specifics of it. my source that lead me astray has given me bad information in the past and i will be weighing future advice from him a little more carefully, it appears some people just like to hear their own voices
