David BASC Posted June 13, 2019 Report Share Posted June 13, 2019 Dear all As said full update on the BASC web site, its been a tough one and achieved by many working together as one. But we will not rest on the back foot, likely to be more challenges ahead, so please keep an eye on our website and Facebook Thanks David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walker570 Posted June 13, 2019 Report Share Posted June 13, 2019 Just had an e mail from BASC giving the details although advised to print copies and read through. Runs to February 2020. Appreciate all the work David. It is what all we members don't always realise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxwell Posted June 13, 2019 Report Share Posted June 13, 2019 Review due Feb 2020 starting this summer apparently, you can bet WJ and their friends will be gearing up for that after the success of their efforts so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good shot? Posted June 14, 2019 Report Share Posted June 14, 2019 Only had a quick peruse for now. I hope any objections from WJ are robustly countered next time it occurs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timerider Posted June 14, 2019 Report Share Posted June 14, 2019 I`d like to think that the lovely Mr Packam and his equally lovely pals are as gutted about the re-issuing of the General Licenses, as the real conservationist were at the revocation of them, but I highly doubt it. He will carry on as usual with his protests, campaigns and crusades against anything he doesn`t personally like, whilst his publicly-funded lawyers sift through the legal terminology of the new GL`s to find a loophole which enables them to be revoked again.

Agreed, completely irrelevant, I have also heard that whilst springwatch is being aired Mr P is to keep his gob shut and not engage in any such discussion.
