You need no qualifications to join the PAC, only an interest in pike and pike fishing. We are inviting you to join us, there is no need to get involved locally, that is your choice. However, as a new member we would warmly welcome you to one of our regional association meetings. You may find someone you know is already a member, if not be assured you will soon make new friends.

There are a number of ways of joining the PAC which are listed on the right.

Member satisfaction is a key priority for the PAC and we aim to respond to your application within 7 days of receipt.

There are, however, times (e.g. when the Membership Secretary is on holiday or during the period leading up to the annual renewal date in October) when this timescale may not be possible. Please bear with us if this is the case.

  • Family Memberships
    Please provide us with details of the other family members names and which are adults or juniors. A separate e-mail to memberships@pacgb.co.uk will help us.

  • Upgrade to Family Membership
    Following requests from the membership we can confirm that any member wishing to upgrade membership from Adult £22.50 to Family membership £27.50 can now do so by simply sending a cheque for £5 to the Membership Secretary with a short note detailing the names of the additional family members and whether adult or junior.

  • PayPal applications
    If you are using a relative's or friend's PayPal account to pay for membership please send a separate covering e-mail to memberships@pacgb.co.uk so we can get the details correct for you.

We value your application and hope you find what you need from the club. When you get your membership number don't forget to sign up to the active Message Board. The Blog is also recommended for keeping up to date with what is happening in the PAC and the wider world of pike angling.

PAC membership traditionally runs from 1st October to 30th September each year. However, new members joining outside the September to November period get 12 months membership commencing on the 1st of the month in which they join.

During the last two years the PAC have been involved in a number of issues across the UK at national and regional level. Summarised as follows:

  • When fishery students boasted about taking part in a pike cull on the River Darrent, we exposed them in the media and arranged a meeting with their college, the Environment Agency and the local angling club. Following PAC involvement the Pike will be saved and relocated to a nearby lake.
    Behind the scenes, we are now actively investigating the extent of pike culling on waters up and down the country.

  • The Environment Agency allowed just under 100 culls to take place last year, so we've got our work cut out.

  • We continue to monitor Pike killing on the Warwickshire Avon following the ill informed comments made by two well known match anglers.

  • We have engaged with Festival organisers in Northern Ireland over poor practices employed in Pike matches.

  • When Cambridgeshire's historic lodes were threatened by proposals to lower water levels, we joined parish councillors and other groups campaigning to save them.

  • Our local regions in the North East have successfully negotiated access to RSPB waters at Fairburn Ings.

  • In partnership with angling club officials in the Fens, we have highlighted the problem of fish being removed in numbers for the table and a new Crime-stoppers style hotline has been set up by the Environment Agency to help it target enforcement patrols.

  • As we write, we are preparing a submission to MPs prior to a parliamentary debate on proposals to abandon coastal defences and allow the Upper Thurne and its broads - some of our most historic pike fisheries - to be flooded by the sea.
    We are also investigating the removal of pike from a Wessex river for the catering trade.

All of this takes time and money. But when you look at some of the victories the club has scored on behalf of pike anglers, it's worth every penny.

Please continue to support the work of the PAC. Because we'll be there when your fishing's under threat.

The PAC has won a lot of battles but there are always a lot more to fight.

Your fishing might be next - join and help us protect it.
