You could not be farther from the truth if you tried - please don't try BASC is not complacent; yes we try to raise funds from non-membership revenue to keep the membership fees down, for our members.

I work at head office and I have heard no accusations of misuse of BASC members money. We have to stick to budgets and justify all expenditures, not sure where this has come from.

I work for BASC and I don't know any member of staff who has a Landrover, let alone a fully kitted out one. I have a Skoda This is a staffing issue at BASC which is being resolved. No mention of money as far as I have heard. That's all I can say at this time.

Yes it does I have re-read the policy again, I have clarified with David Ilsley, I have spoken to the insurers - Your are covered

I just wish that all who shoot are a member of one of the representative shooting organisations. BASC currently has over 143,000 members, making us a strong voice in politics and the media.

The Forestry Commission often have competency testing for controlling deer on their land. Its not mandatory, as you don't have to shoot on forestry land if you don't want to.

I don't have a land rover, I have a Skoda and I wish I was overpaid. Like you I was taught by my father - I was lucky, I guess.

£85 (members rate) for a full days coaching from qualified Coaches and experts in their field - is pretty darn good value. Obviously we don't try to run the courses at a loss where we can help it. Peter

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz Wont be long before this is made compulsory, to get your Cert. Join SACS. I cant think of anything we deliver that has been made mandatory. The reason we run these courses are to improve standards, and we find that people leave the sport if they are not very good at it. No other reason
