Greetings to all our clubs and members
Welcome to our monthly news, we hope to keep you informed in between baits of any fishy business within NZACA.
Correspondence
We have been reviewing and trialling different ways to communicate to our membership over the past six months. We thank you for your patience and acknowledge that it is area that is of high importance to our members. In the past communications from the executive has come via Secretarial Jottings and minutes being posted to club secretaries. We identified that there were issues with how this was disseminated to the members and so have trialled a few different ways including emails via ‘mail chimp’, our website and facebook pages. Whilst we acknowledge that there has been mixed success with these we want to ensure that our clubs are informed in all possible ways.
In the immediate future we will revert to posting information to clubs via club secretaries as well as the electronic methods above. We are hopeful that with technology being so widely used in today’s world we will be able to progress to providing information predominantly via emails to our clubs. To do so we need to ensure that we have your club’s most up to date email. Attached is a copy of the NZACA Affiliation form for the 2014/15 season. Please ensure your club’s email details are up to date so we can ensure you have all relevant information as it becomes available. Continue reading

Some of the Life Members of the NZACA, together with others who have had long association with the Organisation or are experienced in recreational fishing matters, have formed themselves into a more formalized but loosely structured group.
The purpose of this group is three-fold, being :-
-
To register itself as a “club” with the NZACA to so enable it to be in receipt of communications sent out to NZACA Clubs, and to attend and exercise a club vote at AGM’s.
-
To offer the experience, knowledge and abilities of the members of the group to the Executive of the NZACA to use as felt appropriate. To be a “think tank” for new ideas and proposals offering opinions on such whether they be positive or negative.
-
To be available to NZACA Clubs and Members if such would like opinions or thoughts on any particular matter from the group, and generally assist such as required so they can fully participate in the NZACA and all that it offers.
Whilst it is acknowledged that there has been some real difficulties and communication problems and issues between members of this group and the Executive in the past, we believe the time has come when such needs to be put behind us and together go forward to ensure that the NZACA firstly survives and then adapts itself to meet the demands and needs of the recreational fishing world of today.
The group is not against change and agrees that change should be an ongoing happening so that the Association keeps up with the changing needs, roles and purposes required. However change needs to be managed and be done giving the opportunity for full communication and backing of the total membership if such wish to become so involved. The NZACA is an “association’ of clubs and people, and as a group we feel we would like to be part of such and feel we have something to offer and contribute if the opportunity was there to do so.
On behalf of the founding members of the group
