The Word from the President of the l'AAPPMA "L'Albanais" - 2018 Edition -

It is with great pride we are awarded the Charles Ritz Award, which is so prestigious and difficult to obtain. It is a very high challenge and that is what makes it so prestigious.
This prize therefore rewards all the work done by all the members of the board preserving the environment and water courses in particular.
 
The essence of our action goes towards the defense of our aquatic heritage, the entertainment of fishing being only the result of the good state of our rivers.
 
This award is a culmination of our efforts and gives us the energy we need to continue to undertake our tasks.
 
Many thanks to Prix Charles Ritz for the trust you have showed us with this award.
 
Jean-Michel Arquizan, President of the AAPPMA
