Stimo22 Posted March 5, 2018 Report Share Posted March 5, 2018 Just as alway there is nothing within a sensible traveling distance from us. Live in North Bucks but you think we where on some distant island with Basc. We are at the very remotest edge of three Basc regions so therefore we never get anything near us,most of our regions events are south coast at over 120 away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Marshall Posted March 6, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2018 I will definitely pass on your comments to my regional colleagues and see if we can remedy this. Many thanks, Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShootingEgg Posted March 15, 2018 Report Share Posted March 15, 2018 Cullompton is a fair way from Cornwall depending on location.. Im in Bristol and find courses are a fair distance from me. Even Cullompton is an hour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rimfire4969 Posted March 16, 2018 Report Share Posted March 16, 2018 Cullompton is at least 2 hours from me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Marshall Posted March 19, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2018 Unfortunately there is not enough demand to hold courses in every local town. There is a link on our training pages of our website where you can register your interest in particular courses https://basc.org.uk/sporting-services/basc-training-courses/. This is reviewed every year to help us guide where we put on courses. So go onto the page and register your interest. Otherwise you will be looking at an hour or so drive. I am sorry that you will have to drive so far. Many thanks, Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stimo22 Posted March 19, 2018 Report Share Posted March 19, 2018 I don't think members expect events in their own towns, but members like me on the edge of several regions should expect some within a reasonable distance. The south east region events all appear south of London so most events would be two to three hours drive. If you do not put on events in the outer reaches of area how do you know how popular they will be. You say it is reviewed every year but it is a chicken and egg situation, on events equal no interest. We had a syndicate membership on our shoot but the members decided to stop it and everybody joined other institutions because they felt that they where not getting any support from the regions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Marshall Posted March 19, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2018 The best thing to do is to speak to your regional BASC representatives and let them know that there is demand in a particular area. The South East Representative is Dan Reynolds on 01244 573028 - Dan has lots of training courses in his region, probably more than any region. Speak with him and let me know how you get on Many thanks, Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bristol a city has nothing closer that Cullompton or Dorset for dsc1 from looking online. I understand supply and demand but a circa £300 course plus hotel makes it an expensive piece of paper.

Seadog1408 Posted April 25, 2018 Report Share Posted April 25, 2018 Personally I don't think a 1 hour drive is bad at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Marshall Posted April 25, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2018 We run courses at Lydney which is 27 miles from Bristol and only 42 min drive according to AA route finder. We run DSC 1 courses at Malmesbury which is 29 miles from Bristol and 39 min drive. There is also Chipping Norton and Cullumpton both of which are less than 70 miles away. There are also other providers adhering to DMQ standards who may provide a venue closer to you. For instance the BDS run DSc 1 courses in Cirencester which is less than an hour away. These venues change around, its also worth considering courses which are being held near relatives or friends, which could cut down on the accommodation costs.

No issue with drive time, but not every one can justify £300 plus fuel plus accommodation.. Obviously thats jist my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
