This weekend's PAC access event on Loch Fad has been cancelled due to a strike by dock workers. Pier hands are staging a walk-out in a dispute over pay. Operator Caledonian MacBrayne says it will be unable to berth ferries safely.
Events organiser Mark Skinner said: "It's a shame that due to the impending industrial action, this event has had to be cancelled.
"With problems arranging an alternative date, with regards to members getting time off etc, it has been decided to not arrange another weekend and for those that have been booked on for the coming weekend a full refund will be posted out.
"Thanks to Scott Davidson for all the work that he has put in leading up to this event."

About the PAC
The Pike Anglers' Club of Great Britain was formed in 1977 as a direct result of changing attitudes toward pike. For far too long pike had been regarded by fishery owners and some anglers as vermin, to be killed and removed at all costs. Since it's inception, the PAC has done much to drastically change this mistaken attitude and pike are now widely regarded as a positive element in the natural balance of any fishery.
Pike fishing has without doubt become one of the most specialised branches of coarse fishing. Not least in the methods of handling, unhooking and safe return of the fish once caught.
The PAC works continually for the benefit of all pike and pike anglers, we seek only to further the opportunities for pike fishing, whilst preserving all that pike fishing is all about.
We strive to protect pike from persecution by those who do not understand, or choose to ignore, the facts about the important role the pike plays in the balance of nature. We also work to promote pike conservation through safe practice by anglers.
