Well, for those of you that would like to discover a little more about ECHO, or for those members that were unable to make it on the day for the 2008 AGM, or even for those that were to drunk to remember all the details!!! Click away!

Ian Chillcott's introductory speech including a brief clarification of ECHOs remit and the the way forward with 'Angling Unity'. Part 1, click here to view.

Ruth Lockwood reiterates the current problems faced by our sport and the dangers of 'malpractice'. Also the developing structure of angling politics and the strength of the Fish Welfare Group. What does a carper get for his or her £20 membership fee? Part 2, click here to view.

Naming names and the roll of SHAME!!! Ruth explains briefly what the Fish Welfare Fund is with an impassioned call for the industry to help fund and support the very reason for its existence, the fish themselves. In addition, the achievements of ECHO in 2007 and she also highlights that during 2006, 23 fisheries were destroyed by KHV. To view Part 3, click here.

Part 4 (click here), Ruth talks about the dealings with Parliament and a brief summary of the politics involved...

"Champagne and caviar with the 'big knobs' in Westminster?", or a "Battle for the future of angling?", you decide. Also a brief summary of ECHOs future planning and what we can do to help.

Andy Jameson gives a current over-view of membership details and the stability of ECHOs finances, plus Ruth openly asks again for people to become more involved with the day to day running and development of ECHO, plus general AGM items. Click here for Part 5.

Continued proposals, motions and amendments to the constitution of ECHO, joining fees etc. Plus, a question from the floor, "The £20 joining fee, does it deter carpers from joining?" Part 6a, click here.

Finally, Part 6b (click here), gives mention to those members that have helped ECHO beyond that which could be normally expected, including the acceptance speech of Micky Gray on receipt of the 'ECHO Stone', an annual award made to thank members for their efforts on behalf of the organisation.
