The Association of Barbel Fishers (ABF) is a UK based angling group open to all and set-up to fish for the European Barbel. The ABF places a great deal of emphasis on the sharing of knowledge and social interaction (through a forum and meetings) in the pursuit of barbel fishing. The Association was set-up in late 2010 and consisted of 30 founder members. The basis of the Association is that it is run democratically. Therefore all officers of the Association are voted in for a set term and can be changed at the appropriate AGM.

The objectives of the ABF shall be, but not limited to, these initial ethics:

To promote a democratic association of barbel anglers, popular with and for the benefit of all members. To promote barbel fishing within the general angling community and to promote such fishing to follow and adhere             to the Handling Code, as prescribed by ‘The Barbel Society’and recognised as the standard. To provide opportunities for social contact between like-minded barbel anglers. To share and share in the distribution of information, availability and the techniques & equipment for barbel fishing. To undertake such other diverse activities related to the sport of barbel angling, the conservation and environment of barbel, whether ancillary to these objectives or otherwise, as the ABF committee (hereafter defined in this Constitution) may deem to be in the interests of the ABF and its members. To support deserving charities and worthy causes, as nominated and determined by members, through scheduled fund raising events.
