MFF Club/Association

and what ever we are,I dont think that we should be so specific......better to leave a name as open as possible

Gogo · May 05, 2011, 23:01:04 CET

Yes, I agree with Gaffer and Shanook. Words as sports, recreational and conservation are too specific.
May be '' Malta Amateur Fishing Club'' is more appropiate. Amateur is a person who engages in an activity as a pastime. All 'S' and MFC boats, land rod fishing and spear fishing can be included in this category. Professional fishing is the opposite of amateur fishing.

I think we should say club instead of Association for the simple reason that a club is a complete entity while an association is an aggregate of clubs.

Congratulations on your effort on this guys.
Don't know if l missed reading it, but was wondering if you (the club) will be affiliated with the 'International game fishing association'?

The_Gaffer · May 06, 2011, 01:13:20 CET

The MFF is already a member of the iGFA. The club will also join too.

joe,i dont think this person is a member but she helped when she was needed.

'Hook & Spear - Fishing Club'

or

'Fishing For Fun' ........motto.....Preserving our hobby, and nature..........

Granitu · May 06, 2011, 07:47:05 CET

the first one proposed by baghira is really nice, but it makes sense without a dash

i.e. Hook & Spear Fishing Club

the second one is to scrap in a constructive opinion - too common and kind of childish - some of us fish not just for fun but also to get rid for some time of their children and wives

Ahhh...you must be referring to Robby's girlfriend, Dr. Tizianna Maria Refalo. Dr. Refalo is a Public Notary. No, she's not a member.

gogo there are MFB who are regarded as Full Time/part time certainly not in the same category of Amateurs. So if we specify amateur in the club name, does that mean they are not represented or not welcome?

Up till now the best I have heard is Malta Fishing Club as it includes all categories and branches......

whoever designs the logo please keep in mind that it can be embroidered as I am having a headache to embroider the MFF logo....

baghira · May 06, 2011, 14:03:27 CET

Well related to hook and spear I think that if we find the right person, we can have an amazing logo...................and not difficult to embroider.....

I like Hook and Spear fishing club

The_Gaffer · May 06, 2011, 15:03:16 CET

Let me trigger some ideas...e.g. Pakula Lures have their own club, its called the Marlin Bar. I'm rather (hooked) on the MFF Hook and Spear ______,

it would be great if someone came up with a word to replace club. Still it will be an all member decision, so, keep those ideas coming, and we'll have an online poll at the end!

I still think we can call it an association, as the club brings together all forms of recreational fishers together under one roof: Boat - big game, boat fishing, deep drop fishing, trolling, jigging, bottom long-lines; Land - pole fishing, beach casters, spinning, Mrejkba users; and finally Underwater - Speareos. So, by definition it would be an association of all recreational fishers whether they practice from land, sea, or under water!...just my current thinking.

Quick google search offered these:

Club as a Noun has these synonyms:

association, society, organization, fraternity, sorority, fellowship, brotherhood, sisterhood, federation, union, guild, lodge, alliance, league, order, consortium, company

perhaps........ The MFF Hook and Spear Alliance
