| Poachers In the event that members come across poachers, if you feel confident then please challenge them. If you can put one of the Warning notices on their car's screen then so much the better. Generally Poachers do not have an EA Rod Licence so there is a bigger stick to wield of a fine from the EA! We now have a Poachers hotline number for the Environment Agency which members should telephone if they suspect a poaching incident: 0800 807060 The Police Community Support Officer (Sean McKinnon) has made contact with the club and is keen to ensure that our rights are protected from poachers. he can be contacted on 07825 388928 in the event of members requiring assistance. The local beat Policewoman is PC Lee Bainbridge and she can be contacted on 07919 628617. I have been advised by the PCSO that if you do receive any sort of abuse (verbal or physical) and are threatened when challenging poachers, then you are entitled to the full benefits of the police; i.e. ring 999. | |
