SCBI - Sportfishing Club of the British Isles

Forums – Introduction

We are considering creating a series of forums within our web site to encourage the inter-change of information between anglers, and facilitate debate on issues relative to our sport. 

We fully recognise though that for it to work it will need not only a significant level of ‘visits’ and participation, but also an excellent level of moderation.  Anglers have got to feel ‘comfortable’ with the community and feel encouraged to participate.  What we would want to guard against is any individual feeling embarrassed in case they’ve asked a ‘wrong’ question or expressed a ‘wrong’ opinion.  Or for that matter others attempting to deride an individual’s opinion.  These are all factors we need to consider.

Whilst assessing these though, and to complement our potential forum, we have included a section of Links to other Forums.  They are in the main American sites - some generalist, others with specific focus - either species or location. 

Any feedback would be appreciated though.  Similarly, in the interim, if you have any questions or wish to express an opinion on a particular topic please contact the Club by e-mailing us at info@scbi.org.uk. 

Also if through your surfing you encounter other forums that you consider would be of interest to our members could you please advise us through info@scbi.org.uk.
