The meeting has been confirmed for 2nd August between 15:00pm -16:30pm. John Brown, Head of Tourism and Architecture policy division and Frank Strang, Head of Sea Fisheries division will be present, as will myself, Barry Scholes and Ian Burrett.
We shall be looking to address the principle areas of RSA direct involvement in fisheries policy making, RSA species conservation, social inclusion and access, and developing RSA and RSA tourism. I appreciate these are very broad areas but we are developing a much tighter set of questions for the meeting itself.
This meeting is not just for the benefit of the SFSA and SACN, I would also like to ensure the broadest coverage by leaving Messers Brown and Strang with a comprehensive list of all RSA related issues / questions that readers of this forum would like addressed / have answers to.
So please make your contributions - direct on the forum, pm or email line I don't mind which. If you aren't willing to let them know what you think or want to know, you can't blame them for not listening or telling.
I'll post a full report on the meeting along with answers to all questions raised.

Seaside,
How you doing? Glad to see that youv'e got the boat in motion (so to speak). From my experience with dealing with the SFC's, Environment Agency, etc. in North Wales meetings are a very good starting point - it proves that they are taking you relatively serious. They'll probably only fob you off with false promises and the like, but that is not the point. The point is that you can you can establish relationships and continuity with the staff members of the 'powers that be'. Could you please provide me with an address/info, etc so that I can respond with letters of support. P.S. If you really want to get up their nostrils, hound them with official requests for info/data under the Freedom of Information Act. With this they have an obligation to respond and you then have an official response in writing to bring to meetings. Congratulations and good luck. Steve
