Seen a thread on Insta the other day and its was basically a fundraiser to otter fence Burghfield to protect stock, which is a syndicate water plus a 10 year waiting list if that is right and basically all you are doing is donating to fence a water to keep an elite few happy!! where 99.9% of us will never fish is it, whats peoples thoughts on this? I don't mind Just giving pages for good causes but if the owners of the lake were that bothered why not get a loan or increase ticket prices to cover it?

That's going to be an expensive fence.
It's down to the fishery owner surely.

So you donate a big whack and in return you get to fish the mighty Burghfield! (Small print : blue pool for 48 hrs)

Are they sure they can fence the whole lake? I thought some of the frontage was private property?

JustGiving says the target is £100.000, currently on £290

This is genius. I'd like a fcuk off massive house. Will you lot all fund it for me if I promise to put a pond in the back garden with a couple of fish in it, I will let you look at them every five years for twenty minutes on a Tuesday in March.

Now run along and sign up before someone else does.

I would have thought that's a reason not to give.
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
