Voting in the BASC election

If you are a BASC member please take a minute to vote in the council election. It is easy to do, either on-line at www.basc.org.uk or using the voting slip in the March issue of 'Shooting and Conservation'.

 

Previous years have seen a disappointing voter interest of less than 3% of the membership.

 

For democracy to work we should participate, not simply observe.

I'm one of the candidates, so thanks for the compliment. I'm not here to campaign as I agree with some other posts that I dont think this is the place, but I would urge members to try and make a choice, even if they think all are as good as each other. It is very difficult to put a full case in the limited number of words that BASC allow but if you search Google on the candidates you will find that two of them have set up websites and all three have facebook/twitter pages to enable members to talk to them if they wish to before making a decision.

 

With only 3% of the population voting for the new PCCs nationally, I read in the press that there was a serious question as to whether those appointed had a mandate from the electorate.

 

In recent years, a similar small proportion of BASC members have voted. I would, personally, like to see council members with a strong mandate and who put their passion for the sport into an organisation that works for all of us.
