quentyn Posted May 20, 2020 Report Share Posted May 20, 2020 I was reading the recent email from BASC where they said "This week, we have challenged Thames Valley and other police forces on the advice they have issued around the return of shooting to the countryside." And then i noticed that on the BSAC Corona page they still have the Essential pest control template. Can i confirm - what is this advice from Thames Valley they they have challenged ? i have looked around and i cant find it. I presume that post the changes to the lockdown that we dont need to get the letter completed ? we can just shoot under the GL's ? The reason i ask is that a lot of my shooting is in the TV area and I want to avoid issues - i am not looking to bash Basc Q Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
