Wooder Posted November 20, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2018 (edited) BASC was as much use a a "chocolate tea pot" !!! I have found a doctors surgery up the road that will do medical report for me, So I am now in the process of changing doctors. They will charge me £128 for the report which seems extreme.

I believe you can get a copy of your medical notes for free. Send the police the lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brodie Posted November 20, 2018 Report Share Posted November 20, 2018 The basic problem seems to be that the "rules" are guidance notes and police forces seem to interpret them as they see fit; hence the inconsistency across the country. Has anyone any experience of Essex police's policy as they are collaborating with Kent in many things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BASC £78 seems more extreme to me for doing nothing, at least for £128 you will get your report. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bone Posted November 20, 2018 Report Share Posted November 20, 2018 I have recently moved within Kent and was told by my FEO who came to inspect my cabinet, that the next time I renew my certificates I will have to get a medical report from my doctor, failure to do so and no renewal.

Correct was told that from the horse's mouth today, no choice, been shooting since I was 15 now 56 ish not giving up now, I would do some background work with your GP before renewal to see if they will send a report, if not find another practice which is not easy as they have catchment areas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turmoil Posted November 20, 2018 Report Share Posted November 20, 2018 All you need is a print out of your medical records....going back five years... My other half had to do this and it was about 50 pages long and cost £20... that was about 4 months ago.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason_ox Posted November 20, 2018 Report Share Posted November 20, 2018 I’ve heard my force TVP are accepting a SAR (subject access report) if there’s no medical issues, may be worth giving the feo a ring to see if they will accept one?

Lloyd90 Posted November 21, 2018 Report Share Posted November 21, 2018 Once again BASC a total waste of space... where have all the usual people gone that defend them? Have they finally given up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scully Posted November 21, 2018 Report Share Posted November 21, 2018 But it isn’t just BASC; this issue has been ongoing for over a year now but none have so far seem any closer to or willing to resolve this issue, meanwhile we’re all still paying....for what? It’s time those who care start asking some very awkward questions of our shooting representatives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dibble Posted November 22, 2018 Report Share Posted November 22, 2018 How about contacting your Police and Crime Commissioner https://www.police.uk/kent/pccn It's his job to represent you. There are probably more shooters than Gillingham FC fans in Kent but I doubt he realises this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only way you are going to get the likes of BASC to start sorting this mess out is buy cancelling your membership. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then we should start with CPSA who as far as I can establish has done absolutely nowt but try to distance itself from live shooting. I won't hold my breath tho' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gdadphil Posted November 22, 2018 Report Share Posted November 22, 2018 There may be no option but to have some sort of medical review . the law seems to have changed have a look at this link http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2017/1281/made cheers Gdadphil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave-G Posted November 22, 2018 Report Share Posted November 22, 2018 I'm surprised people think the establishment would cede to what shooting organisations want or demand of them. We all know .GOV mostly dont. I seem to recall its a well known and published BASC policy to not fund actions if there is not much chance of achieving success. My recent home insurance renewal supplier swap came with a legal expenses add-on, part of it read that they will not support a case that has less than 51% chance of success. What I'm saying is by all means cancel your membership if your main reason for being a member is they waste money trying to overturn government policies that the significantly louder voice of the increasingly populist general public support - but maybe stay with them if you support other benefits of being a member.
