A motion was defeated at last years AGM asking that anglers had to be domiciled in a given provence to win that provincial closed gold event.

As long as an angler is registered in a club within any given provence, they are entitled to win the provincial closed gold medal in that provence. It does not matter where they live.

The federation is quite content to allow anglers join and fish multiple club master angler leagues and allow anglers affiliate in multiple provences as it all generates revenue and participation.

I'm not certain of the position with the SAI club as there was never any provision for registering clubs other than through the provincial councils. My opinion would be that if it was registered through Leinster, then members can fish any provincial closed event but can only be awarded the gold medal if they win the Leinster Closed.

at present though cooke would it not be the case that members of SAISAC could only enter the leinster closed gold medal events and none in any other province?

If I am wrong on this one shoot me butif i can remember right its the gold medal of the province that you live in that you can fish for as long as you are in a club registered with that council. eg. If iwas only in the Sai club i could fish in no closed gold medal as i live in Ulster and the Sai is registered as a Leinster club

how does this sound for a solution to the gold medal question Why doesnt the Sai club register as 4 clubs (1 in each province) called SAI L ,SAI U SAI M and SAI C. funds could still be centralised and every member can fish there own provincial medals and could have 4 master anglers. You still only need 1 master angler series with the best finisher from each province being they qualifier

This has been proposed before, but we only have about 40 members at present. WE'd have to get it past each provincial council too!

Have a committee man from each province to represent the club and do the provincial work. It might help to generate a lot more interest.

To register the club in each province the club would have to pay an affiliation and insurance fees €250 plus €21 for each member.

regarding the "closed gold medal" all these comeptitions are opens meaning that any angler registered to the ifsa can fish it. where the rules come into is only an angler registered with that province can win the gold medal and repersent that province in the interprovincial
