The Norfolk Anglers Conservation Association website is one set up to assist the Association in its work on fisheries and angling representation in Norfolk, it developed on the back of the success of the original Wensum Action Group following the work to the local angling community to oppose abstraction plans for the river Wensum at Costessey.
When the WAG was disbanded the NACA was formed to continue its work. As a founder member this has always been an issue close to my heart and I sponsored the redesign of the website back in 2007 following the earlier site, after giving good service for several years being in need of an update. The site is a database driven content management system which allows much easier administration by a group of editors, rather thant a single webmaster. It utilises many added components to run the site including an ecommerce shopping cart for online memberships.

About Me
My Name is David Batten, I have been working as an illustrator since 1985, working freelance for various individuals and publishers (Crowood, EMAP ) producing angling book and magazine illustrations. In 2000 I had a chance to go full time and set up Hooklinks to manage my work life after 30 years in engineering.
In 2001 it became evident that there was a wider market for my skills when asked to do some packaging work for 2 tackle and bait manufacturers, Korda and Innovatebaits. The latter was to see my skills pushed into web design and development.
Today all of these skills are used to provide support for a wide range of angling, fisheries and related businesses. On the journey I have taken on insurance, mortgage and NLP businesses as clients, all of whom continue to use my services today,
My angling illustration has come a long way from those humble days in the mid 80's as you will see in the various pages of my website.
