This meeting is free to attend and open to all. It is aimed at ALL freshwater anglers, Coarse and Game. It is a key opportunity to hear about the work of the Environment Agency and is a chance to tell the Angling Trust what YOU think their priorities should be.

It looks like being a fascinating meeting, so if you love angling and live within reach of the venue, make sure you attend.
