WELCOME TO THE W.F.C.A
As secretary for and on behalf of the Welsh Federation of Coarse Anglers I would like to take this opportunity in welcoming you to our site.
We hope that this web site will serve as a valuable source of information for coarse angling in Wales.
We also hope that as anglers you will take advantage of signing up on our web site to receive additional newsletters from the WFCA.
Please note you do not have to be a member to receive this newsletter and we do not charge you for registering on our website.
Also through the website we hope to give anglers a better understanding of the work that we undertake as a Governing Body and to hopefully encourage more clubs and individuals to support what we do by joining the WFCA.
The WFCA is not just a political body that represents coarse angling in Wales as we are equally committed too, youth development, coaching and angling education, tourism, increasing participation, development of community fisheries, identifying areas of development by forming new clubs in both rural and urban areas and much more.
We also hope that you will support the website by submitting any stories, match results, photos etc that you wish to share with the rest of the angling community.
We will endeavour to continue to develop the website to ensure we give wider coverage of coarse angling within Wales but also to provide you with additional information or stories that may be of interest to you as anglers.
The WFCA also recognise that many of our affiliated clubs have a mixed membership base and as a result of this we will report on what is happening in both the Sea and game angling communities throughout Wales.
We hope that you enjoy viewing the website and hope that you will return time and time again.
Yours Sincerely
R B Darker
Executive Secretary
