scolopax Posted September 17, 2018 Report Share Posted September 17, 2018 My club bought into the whole WHT stamp scheme for many years and it was incorporated into our membership fee from day one, then a combination of feeling let down be BASC over local NE consenting issues and £5 increase in BASC fees, well you can tell what happened. We kept affiliated (just) but ditched the stamp to keep membership fees stable. We never used the scheme, I believe interest rate was not that low, and we were fortunate enough to afford all our marsh acquisitions from core funds. But it does offfer access to money for clubs who would otherwise have difficulty accessing credit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ajarrett Posted October 19, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2018 KWCA has just acquired a further significant area of foreshore shooting in Kent. As well as the purchase with CWA as the reason for this thread, Kent in the last month has acquired new rabbit shooting on the Isle of Sheppey for our airgunners, an additional 250 acres of pigeon shooting, and now this large foreshore area. More members = more cash = more shooting = more members. Onwards and upwards! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hear that the RSPB are a little strapped for cash so hopefully more and more clubs can own their own land if they aren't bidding up prices Edited October 19, 2018 by guy baxendale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they are apparently more focused strategically, and it will be worse for them after Brexit (and the rest of us landowners, but not to their scale hopeffully) All we can do is keep going Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ajarrett Posted December 13, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2018 That's very true, and what's left is not currently likely to be available at an affordable price. This new area is not in Kent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
