Got my 2026 Embryo membership renewal by email today, very disappointing that Embryo have removed any concession membership. There are now only adult or junior memberships available. Presumably this will apply across all their syndicates and any bookings. I guess they cant afford it!!
Ps - Some will say that its still good value for money in this mad world but that's not really the point.

Whilst we're on the subject of Embryo memberships (something I've considered as there are a couple close to me)
Why oh why, do they publish ALL the names of people on the waiting lists for their memberships, publicly?
Potentially a GDPR breach?

Maybe write to them, might strike a chord. Bit disasteful given DF himself wasn't too well not so long ago, he of all people must realise there are those who simply can't do what they once did anymore. Not really the sorts to clog up the banks, they could at least have restricted access and made it more about week days.
Not so sure about affording it, probably more like the demographic that's least important, tbh, I wonder if he himself knows, seems a little 'out of character' though he is a busnessman.
I often wonder about who spends the most money on Carp fishing gear, older v younger, all the media bias is toward the younger generation but from when I was young it's the older anglers that have the biggest disposable income and use it. Judging by my stay at home generation Z nieces in their 20's, who don't save a penny, live with and borrow from their grand parents, maybe it's not the case anymore.

So come on then... who's on the waiting list for where then..??
Seems like there a waiting list for every bit of blue, that ain't a day ticket these days..
Publishing names, and no concessions.. come on Embryo, play the game.

Pick any of the syndicates on their site, and scroll down to "View List"

It's not like they are listing addresses
How many other people in the country are there that have the same name as you?
Using yours as an example.
You have your name and address on this site (if you have access to the classifieds) and the name is public for anyone who clicks it.

People moan about syndicates being closed shops and only getting on if your face fits. The ones you really wanna get on won't have lists anyway. Embryos way of doing at least shows transparency. It's for a fishing lake, not Epsteins friends list. Can't see the big deal tbh.
I keep checking to see if I've moved up (or down).
Hoping to get on one this year

I suppose in a way it does make it transparent. You can actually see where you are on the list. No favours shown. No jumping the que..

You'd like to think not.. but who knows. Didn't see any so called "names" on the lists I looked at. Maybe there on a diffrent list..

A list for 'special' people

With respect original post was about giving existing Embryo syndicate concessionary members 4 weeks notice to effectively find double what it cost last year, not waiting lists. I personally would have thought some concession was reasonable not scrap it it all together.
Sad about the concessions, seems a bit of a miserable thing to do when fishing can be a real lifeline - either making people feel better directly, or have a better quality of life.
As for the waiting list, I got on one of their syndicates last year and am still on their list for it... Can't be two of me, surely... And if there is, am I the double - or are they?
