mudpatten Posted January 15, 2020 Report Share Posted January 15, 2020 The above usually takes place in March but I`ve not yet had any correspondence from BASC about bookings etc. I can find nothing about it on their website. Does anyone know when it`s going to be this year or am I just looking in the wrong place on the website? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panoma1 Posted January 15, 2020 Report Share Posted January 15, 2020 I understand that It was scheduled for March at the usual venue, the Ramada hotel, Sutton Coldfield, Birmingham......but was cancelled reportedly because of a “problem” but I don’t know what the problem was......**** happens, but there is no excuse for not rescheduling it, or holding it elsewhere! anybody would think BASC give a National wildfowling conference, little importance and/or don’t wish to hold it.......as was promised?

mudpatten Posted January 15, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2020 (edited) Can I ask, respectfully, how you know it was cancelled when many of us don`t. Is this a communication failure by BASC or just me not paying attention. I too would like to know what the "problem" is? I can`t find any reference to this on the website.

Another venue balking at having a shooting related event on it's premises, frightened of angering the 'woke' and the resulting backlash against the 'brand', perhaps?

mudpatten Posted January 16, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2020 Thank you Panoma. Apparently me not paying attention. I`m sure all the affilliated clubs will be getting a quick email in the not too distant future explaining fully what has happened and notifying us officially of its cancellation. Figgy, I`m tempted to give them a ring but most of the questions I`ve asked of BASC in recent months have been neatly sidestepped. I grow increasingly frustrated.

Pushandpull Posted January 16, 2020 Report Share Posted January 16, 2020 Time perhaps then for another East Coast Conference or similar independent meeting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenshank1 Posted January 17, 2020 Report Share Posted January 17, 2020 They should be hosting it in a coastal area putting money into a rural community where the positive benefits will be welcomed especially in March. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edenman Posted January 17, 2020 Report Share Posted January 17, 2020 I really enjoyed the local conference's BASC put on last year. Pity they aren't doing that again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mudpatten Posted January 18, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2020 The last one they had in my neck of the woods, they forgot to notify the local clubs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nic Posted January 19, 2020 Report Share Posted January 19, 2020 as I understood it, the conference was now meant to be biannual with the same format as last year on the other years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

d17 len Posted February 23, 2020 Report Share Posted February 23, 2020 Hi all, can anyone confirm or deny that BASC and CA have consented to a voluntary Lead ban from 2024, despite "No scientific evidence " as to the effects of lead shot, in fact a new report states that the rusting of steel shot in water is a far greater threat to marine life, anyone who does Facebook have a look at "Save our lead shot" group, Ian Summerell who started the group is a very well informed man , There are big rumours that certain people running Basc and the C A are our enemy within, and if you think this is not possible cast your mind back to a certain John Swift, the crock of **** who is heading the campaign to totally ban lead shot, Basc has recently removed its logo from the Lead ammunition group webpage, could this be for fear of upsetting its members and to distance itself from L.A.G but it is still involved at the L.A.G meetings, are we as Basc members contributing financially to our own downfall ?
