The posts offer fantastic opportunities for keen anglers to build a career in angling working for the Angling Trust.
The Membership Officer (starting salary £14,000 pa + contributory pension) will join the Trust’s busy Leominster office in January 2012. The principal tasks will be:

• Responding to enquiries from members;
• Publicising the Angling Trust’s activities and news.
The Regional Co-ordinator (starting salary circa £23,000 pa + contributory pension) will also join the Trust in January 2012, subject to Environment Agency funding being confirmed. The principal tasks of this role will be:
• Work with Regional Environment Agency staff to arrange regional forum meeting venues and refreshments;

If they’re attempting to address an English speaking nation that should be principle.

But hey, this is the Angling Trust, the future, apparently.

Knock knock knock 🙁

The bit I like is that yet again they are trying!

[TF_happy as larry]

Unless I’m missing something, I’m not sure what your point is.

An attempt at sarcasm or a dig at the Angling Trust perhaps?

The principal or main tasks of the role are listed – quite correctly by the Angling Trust

The word principal can be adjective or noun. As an adjective it means “most important” or “main” (as in principal task). It can also be a noun meaning the “main or chief one.” (as in the principal of school)

The word principle is a noun referring to a law, a concept or to a code of conduct. It can never be used be used as an adjective.

To sum up – principal and principle have no meanings in common what so ever.

Once you understand this principle you should never get it wrong again.

I think you owe the Angling Trust an apology.

[TF_caster robParticipant]

I don’t.

If principal is used as an adjective it is singular, so only the single most important activity should have been declared, not a list.

[TF_Kagger TNB]

FFS….. 🙁

If that is ALL you can find to fault them with Rob……….. they must be doing a bloody good job with their very limited,hard won funding.

Larry, as a member of the Angling Trust, I am very,very interested for you to post on here all the facts regarding your comment above, of course, if you are just maliciously speculating without being in possession of any facts, you might want to reconsider and then retract your comment?????

Who am I to criticise, but….

£14k?

Seems like an aweful lot of responsibility for not a lot of money?

[TF_scarf]

Admit it rob, you cocked up big time there. :

You should retract. I thought you were a man of principles. 😀

[TF_caster robParticipant]

OK

I did and I do.

Still think the singular aspect of principal holds true though.

Bob’s point about the AT being funded by licence contributions (EA) was interesting.

Perhaps a compulsory levy won’t be necessary after all?

Disturbing……………..

[TF_MICK THE BOOKIE]

I retract also……..Please forgive me if you can. :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:
I hope they find someone to fill both jobs…….Onwards and upwards.

Blimey! is this Rob, Mick and Swimfeeder having a Man Love? 😮

[TF_scarf]

Yeukkk 😮

[TF_happy as larry]

As we are approaching the season of goodwill, I also retract, on the basis that the AT are simply superb and tongue in cheek comments meant in good humour just aren’t necessary.

[TF_Swimfeeder]

Cor blimey!!!!! what ever is going on???? This site ain’t half changed 😮 😮 😮
I used to love a good old ruck on here.

[TF_dingdong]

what a load of old fanny, caster rob,mick your super stars always leading from the front,
:confused: :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused:

[TF_baitchefParticipant]

You must admit though, there are a lot of big words in them job descriptions.

[TF_Paddy]

Yep – “Fourteen” looks bigger when you spell it!
