I went there, it was pretty controlled, but if we want to change these things we must turn up and ask questions. I can't remember the number of votes cast in the national seat but in the Welsh seat just over 200 votes were cast and I got 88. David.

Many clubs get round this problem. They will pair you up with a mentor who has a dog and knows their way around. Get in touch with your nearest club and explain the situation, Mostly these people are really helpful. David.

Yeah, but if it was easy anybody could do it and then where would the challenge be? David..

For peoples information, Paul Shaw was elected to the National seat and Peter Watson to the Wales seat. David.

Some of you may know that I was not successful in the BASC Council Elections. I would like to take the opportunity to thank the people who supported me and I am sorry I did not do bettter for you. I am also told, and as a result have had a number of my posts deleted before the closing date of the elections that I had upset some BASC members by posting too much and they thought I was "calling in favours" actually I don't know a person on here who owes me anything favour or otherwise! However if you were upset please accept my apology. Many thanks, David.

You are so right, it isn't a numbers game and pretty difficult at times (I am not as fit and strong as I was 30 odd years ago) but it is amazingly close to nature and generally very reasonably priced. David.

Yes, I am a bit far away as well and I already belong to a wildfowling club, but best of luck to Langstone. David.

If the travel isn't too onerous, go for it. You won't regret it. David.

Illuminated? David.

Well it would be nice to see you up out way again, to say nothing of working my socks off for you SIR! David.

Want something more comfortable and faster for the run up for the snipe and woodcock???? David.

It's fine, Can't resist a Friday stir!! David.

America has just go a lot bigger if it stretches to the Cape of Good Hope. That is sort of Cape Town, RSA. David.

Which Finnish knife if that isn't too cheeky a request? David.

I often wondered about a high mesh sided Ivor Williams trailer. Net round the mesh, seat, everything you need and pigeons must be used to trailers in fields mustn't they? David.

Very true Terry. People please get your vote in before June 8th. David.

Lot of CZs (in fact most) shoot better than most shooters. David.

Always a pleasure to run your campaign Terry!!!!!! Actually seriously I reckon the BASC needs you. David.

Well polling closes at the end of the first week of June. If you haven't voted please do so. Of course I would like your vote if you live in Wales, and knowing Terry (Bakerboy) I think he would be a useful, hardworking addition to council in the national seat but I think we should all vote. If there is a big turnout it sends the message to BASC that we, the members, are interested in how the organisation is run and we are quite willing to vote in new members if we don't like the way things are going! I don't have a lot of time for the argument that they are all the same so voting is a waste of time, even if you don't have a lot of time for any of the candidates surely it is in your and BASC's interest for you to vote for the best/least bad of the bunch. So please have a look at who you can vote for and get online and vote. Many thanks, David.

Sealand has more flexible opening hours. David.

I don't think it is the EU I think it is health and safety. They burn quite fast. David.

Get in touch with your nearest club, say you are interested and offer to come on some of their working parties. A willingness to get dirty and break into a sweat for the club will often help open doors. The dog problem may not be a problem as they club might be able to pair you up with a dog owner who will show you round and help. David.

Put a camera on a decent spotting scope? David.

Best of luck with this John. I know you will give a good service and good after sales support. David.

Thanks for that. No expanding on a section seven until then I guess. David.
