Himalayan balsam campaign

RADAS support the Angling Trust Anglers Against Litter campaign which is sponsored by Shimano. We run two events a year. Come and join us. You might win a Shimano cap!

We have teams out every month doing riverfly monitoring. An extra pair of hands is always welcome. You could even put your name down for a training course and get qualified or come and help just for fun. 

We are a member of the  AT Water Quality Monitoring Network. We carry out testing on a monthly basis. It would be great to have  a few more people to come and help. It's interesting and important work. 

The Ops Team carries out a wide range of important work including habitat improvements, clearing paths, repairing stiles and much more. It's good crack and everyone is welcome. 

We are keen to encourage young people to join the society and get involved in angling. Anyone under the age of seventeen can join as a junior member. We are currently looking at ways to help youngsters to take up the sport and to develop their skills.

The Society is keen to be more inclusive and we would particularly like to encourage more female participation. Please contact committee member Pat Bush to support this initiative and get involved.

The Volunteer Bailiff Service (VBS) works with the police and the EA to help prevent illegal fishing. Full training and uniform is provided. We would like more RADAS members to sign up in order to deter poachers. If interested contact Ron Wood or Kev Woodcock for more information. 

We will be running a number of events throughout the year and would appreciate assistance. There is no requirement to be involved in planning but turning up on the day to help out would be hugely appreciated. There are always plenty of things that need to be done. 

The committee exists to manage the society in the interests of the members. Anyone who is prepared to accept responsibility and play an active role is welcome to apply. We are fortunate to have a friendly and dedicated team  of hard working people all doing a great job. 

If interested, contact the Secretary.
