Sounds pretty clear to me. Unlike BASC where the position is one of protest with no clear proposition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ajarrett Posted March 31, 2018 Report Share Posted March 31, 2018 Perhaps BASC should be asked why it did not manage to replicate the previous manifesto commitment from the Conservatives to support responsible shooting. If that had been in the 2017 manifesto perhaps this would be different conversation. With overturning the hunting ban in the manifesto a commitment to shooting would have been pushing at an open door. Why was that missed?

stagboy Posted April 1, 2018 Report Share Posted April 1, 2018 This is part of the press release that was issued at the time of the last fee increase: The proposals are contained in a consultation published today and originated in the work of a Home Office working group which included BASC, the British Shooting Sports Council and the police.The fee for a shotgun renewal would rise to £49, for the grant of a firearm certificate to £88 and for renewal of firearms certificates to £62. Variations on firearms certificates would be reduced to £20. Coterminous certificates, where both shotgun and firearm certificates are dealt with at the same time would be £90 and then £65 on renewal.Initial police proposals were for a rise in shotgun certificate fees from £50 to £109.BASC rejected this and asked for the component parts of the licensing system to be fully costed and examined in accordance with the principles of better regulation and Treasury guidelines and taking into account the police move to e-commerce for firearms licensing. BASC chairman Alan Jarrett said: “We welcome the government’s initiative to involve stakeholders and do the job properly. Those who shoot can have confidence that they are paying a fair price for their certificate which has been decided after a rigorous process founded on solid evidence. We hope to see this proposal implemented after the consultation. I would urge everyone who shoots to make their views known in the Home Office online consultation.” BASC chief executive Richard Ali said: “I congratulate the Home Office for ensuring that the full process complied with Treasury guidelines and with the principles of better regulation introduced under the last government and built on by this.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redial Posted April 1, 2018 Report Share Posted April 1, 2018 (edited) I used to be a BASC member but looked elsewhere when it came to renewal time. So much choice now and most people just want insurance, rather than magazines and raffle prize draws.

Forget all the so called member 'benefits' they are a side issue!.......what shooters really want from BASC, is a determined, effective defence of our interests!

redial Posted April 1, 2018 Report Share Posted April 1, 2018 Same agreed, and if BASC ever look like achieving that, I would consider returning. For now I happy with my S.S.A. Third party liability. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bazooka Joe Posted April 1, 2018 Report Share Posted April 1, 2018 Is Basc going to challenge this in court then.? Or is it the same " we don't want to rock the boat do we" response.? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
