Sky Gypsy Posted March 4, 2021 Report Share Posted March 4, 2021 All done. We need to ensure that more 'fowlers vote than they usually do. Especially for such a dedicated 'fowling candidate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muncher Posted March 4, 2021 Report Share Posted March 4, 2021 I know Chris, and have had a few flights with him on the foreshore. He is just what is needed to help give some balance to BASC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
London Best Posted March 4, 2021 Report Share Posted March 4, 2021 I’ve given up coastal fowling but have voted for Chris as it was originally a wild Fowler’s association and has been a member for a long time, unlike the other candidate who has only been in four years. There should be a minimum membership time for candidates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guy baxendale Posted March 4, 2021 Report Share Posted March 4, 2021 I very nearly threw my ballot away as it was part of the junk mail inside the envelope with the magazine - luckily i saw this and dug it out of the bin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read the statements, looked on facebook read all the posts by chriss, and asked many i knew . I am from lincolnshire and got good feedback on Paul Mayfield. So despite the fact i would love to see a wildfowler on council, and i have great respect for chris barkers proposer. I decided to vote for paul Mayfield.

Pushandpull Posted March 8, 2021 Report Share Posted March 8, 2021 Wildfowling is heading for real problems over the issue of consents by NE. Few of the folk on Council seem to be concerned, as they like senior BASC staff are more concerned with the difficulties of the game shooting industry. Electing Chris barker to Council might just move this matter up the list of priorities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah... ? If their performance so far is considered to be "helping" the game shooting industry let us hope that they do not meddle too much in wild fowling interests.
