Please let me know how I can get one. You can buy one via their online sales. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David BASC Posted October 20, 2021 Report Share Posted October 20, 2021 They are free - just ask and I'll get one posted out, or pick them up form the BASC stand at shows and events Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old farrier Posted October 20, 2021 Report Share Posted October 20, 2021 Seems strange to me that you can get a free plastic car sticker but the membership card is a pathetic paper thing when I questioned the org I was told were going plastic free 🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marsh man Posted October 20, 2021 Report Share Posted October 20, 2021 I well remember when my brother worked for Coypu Control , they had White vans with Coypu Control on the sides in fairly large letters , when the campaign started their were still large numbers of Coypus about and nobody blinked a eyelid at the vans , then as they started to make inroads into the numbers and they were televised taken them out of the traps the mood amongst the public started to change with the tyres being let down or a hole put into them , when things got bad they removed all the writing on the vans and things settled down as far as the motors being damaged , this continued till the ministry finally declared the war against the Coypu was over .

zipdog Posted October 20, 2021 Report Share Posted October 20, 2021 More to the point why is everyone still lining the pockets of the tweed jacket brigade who do so little for our cause. Support GWCT or SGA not BASC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like you say , good money and if you like that sort of thing it was job satisfaction , you never know if things had been different after you had your interview we might had crossed each others path .

Banggotcha1 Posted October 22, 2021 Report Share Posted October 22, 2021 Had my sgc interview a few weeks ago and the firearms man looked round my pickup when he got here. I asked why and he said checking you have no visible shooting related stickers. Apparently some sc##bags are seeing the stickers, taking your reg no and finding your address off the net and paying you a visit in the wee small hours looking for guns. Just saying beware guys.

Cranfield Posted October 23, 2021 Report Share Posted October 23, 2021 I have had BASC, CA and Pigeon Watch vehicle stickers, with no problems. Best comment was a lady who asked did I watch other birds, or just pigeons, I replied that I watched pigeons very closely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would like to talk to you regarding sponsoring events (as in me parting with money to sponsor a shooting event - not a sales pitch for sponsorship) and struggling to get through to BASC, do you have a direct telephone number please?
