yes gaffer,she is the one. i did not know she was Robby's girlfriend. actually,im a bit surprised Robby did not notice i was referring to his g/f. Dr. Tizianna Maria Refalo must be a gratuated lawyer hence the doctorate but prefered to work as a public notary. the fact that she is not a member should not jeopardise any help if she wishes so. this new club needs a lawyer badly and the fact that she is a female is certainly a plus. just my peso worth.

the name should be something everybody can easily remember. we do not all have photographic memories.

K.I.S.S.

keep it simple stupid.
lol

robby,i guess anything goes as long as it works but, please, not brotherhood!

IMO the word alliance does not quite sound right - it sounds bombastic and reminds me of NATO or countries coming together for a purpose rather than a group of fishing enthusiasts - I think we should stick to club or association

Actually I did notice it but i did not bring it up as Tiziana, in simple terms, hates fishing (since i spend to much time fishing and talking about fishing).

Yes, she does have a doctorate in Laws (same as lawyers) but opted to work as a Notary as she always wanted that career path.

In having said that, should the commitee require any assistance, I am sure she could give us a helping hand.

Yes Shanook I see your point. However an MFB can still take part in Fishing Sport Activities and at times entertain himself fishing as a pastime. An MFB has this dual activity and should be represented and welcome within an Amateur Fishing Club.
All other Fishing Clubs unless specified by the Club's Statute in Malta have MFB registered within their members.
It is not the name of the Club that dictates the rules but the statute.

If one wants to avoid any specificity then '' The Malta Fishing Club'' will be fine.

In my opinion the word ''The'' puts the club as the one and only open for everybody.
Then aims and regulations are drawn within the statute of the club.

As for Dr. Tiziana once she holds a doctorate in law, the new MFF club can appoint her as Legal adviser of the club. Malta Sports Council always askes clubs, Federation etc..... for a Legal adviser.
Maybe so she will start fishing and make robby017 a happier man.

I agree with Gogo regarding the name "The Malta Fishing Club''

With the name Malta insrted in the name, sounds like the only fishing club or the only offical club in Malta. Remember guys that there are more clubs in Malta taht has to do with fishing. Infact this August a representaion of 2 teams, from the National Federation of Sea Anglers, are going to Italy to participate in a world fishing comptition, from shore, representing Malta

Gogo · May 08, 2011, 21:06:07 CET

Yes this is the bare truth. This new MFF Club is as mulett 75 inadvertently said, the only Malta fishing club that incorporate the main three fishing activities i.e. boat and shore fishing whether rod, line, longline, imrejkaba etc and spear fish.

On the other hand, as the name implies National Federation of Sea Anglers besides being a Federation not a club is orientated on rod fishing mainly from shore. (Prosit and keep it up)

Also other constituted clubs, except one which involves mainly cliff fishing enthusiasts, as far as I know are local district clubs with the majority of members that moor their boat in a particular area.

The Federazzjoni Sajjieda Dilettanti Maltin does not enter in these categories as it embraces all representatives of these clubs once they opt to join the Federation. The Federation is a National entity formed by Maltese fishing clubs whatsoever their fishing gear with the aim to protect all fishing activities and local district issues as a compact body. One can say similar to a commercial union however without any commercial outlet or motivation.

In my opinion MFF club has the above mentioned unique feature.

The_Gaffer · May 08, 2011, 21:19:12 CET

Actually, we are (or rather will be) the first online fishing club (association) representing the full spectrum of recreational fishing community online. We are all Maltese,hence the reference to Malta. The MFF club (for want of a better name for now) represents the three main recreational fishing activities practiced by the MFF members, from, sea, shore or underwater.

placebo · May 08, 2011, 21:32:02 CET

the federation is National Federation of Sport Anglers not sea anglers!

full practice of 100% catch and release of all species during our matches.
