News Shotton District Angling Club

This is so sad when a club needs to fold. It appears that this club has now dissolved.

There was a decision made back in 2023 AGM because nobody stepped up to the 3 roles required to run a club. This is what happens when nobody wants to take the responsibility of being on the committee.

That’s incredibly sad, just goes to show people aren’t interested in helping out and are prepared to sit back and let everyone else do the work.
In fact I think it’s a crime

I don't think some people get the concept of a club. If a club doesn't have three people on the main committee the club will fold. (Secretary, Treasurer and Chairman). A club can not run legally without these three important roles. You don't even need a membership sec either that's one of the optional roles along with the extra committee and chair.

I do understand throughout the year people are busy and have other commitments but committee in clubs are never paid and they do a lot of work in the background. They do it FREE out of their own time and a lot of the committee don't even fish they keep the club running and sometimes others expect these to do ALL the work.

I've seen a few other clubs based in the North East recently (I won't say which ones due to politics) but - where people have slated them on social media without understanding what goes on and also without even attending meetings to voice their concerns. Absolutely shocking!

Our social media will be kept clean from this, I 100% will guarantee this. 🙂

Fun, friendly and positive.
