An Angling Association Serving the Northeast of Scotland
Start saving for next season!
This is just a reminder to members and prospective new members alike that the Association has a Membership Savings Scheme in place. It has been on the go for a couple of years now and is gradually increasing in popularity.
Saving stamps are available at Messrs. Somers and Bains fishing tackle shops.
This is a great way of saving towards the following years fees.
Collector cards are available at the shops and at the bothy. Stickers are sold in £5 denominations and members and prospective new members alike can save as much or as little as they wish towards their fees.
