One of the most successful and lucrative sponsorship deals in the history of angling came to an abrupt end this week after the Angling Trust dropped Drennan as backers of the England team, according to a report in the Angling Times.
The surprise move followed the release of a statement by Peter Drennan questioning where the funds - estimated to be around £30,000 a year - were being allocated by the Trust. The Angling Times said it understands the Oxford-based family firm has paid in excess of £750,000 to the governing body during its 25 year tenure, ensuring the England team is able to compete at the highest level across the world.

The Environment Agency is asking anglers to take part in a consultation which will help it to determine whether the existing close season for coarse fishing on rivers should be altered or even scrapped altogether. The consultation period runs until March 11, 2019 and follows analysis of the results of a preliminary survey of 20,000 anglers which was conducted last year.
That survey showed that 43 per cent of anglers wanted to retain the close season; 17 per cent wanted to retain a close season but change to start and finish dates; and 33 per cent supported removing it altogether. The remainder were undecided. Follow this link for the full story |
