I don't know anything about the 'loonies' who run this website. I think that it's a good idea if it 'could' protect our sport. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TIGHTCHOKE Posted March 16, 2021 Report Share Posted March 16, 2021 Think back to the last Census. Loads of people stated they were Jedi Knights and that was ignored, do you really think this imaginary church would be accepted? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn’t see any indication of god botherers ( which would definitely rule me out ) but after reading some bloke ranting about celebrities, claiming that keeping their shooting passions secret was akin to being an anti , I didn’t bother to look further. He simply wasn't interested in the voice of reason who was trying to explain why some would keep it low in their profile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have heard that if they get 8000+ on the census it has to be counted as a religion which then gives it the protection you mention Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henry d Posted March 16, 2021 Report Share Posted March 16, 2021 (edited) Question for everyone who wants to join; have you found God in the spirit of At Hubertus? If not and you sign up are you really that shallow? If you have then @Zapp @Teal and the admins please close this thread as per forum rules.

It’s only perceived as shallow if you believe in that sort of thing, which I don’t. Joining an organisation which suits your needs and benefits your agenda is something humankind has been doing for as long as there have been humans. A bit like freemasonry, but without the candles. 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never met a more self centred unwelcoming bunch in all my life. I didn't join. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

captainhastings Posted March 17, 2021 Report Share Posted March 17, 2021 Any thing that gives us numbers and a voice can't be a bad thing. If they swing it as a religion and it offers some sort of protection to our way of life again good. It is a fact we are going to lose our way of life it is just a matter of when. Who would thought a few years ago you would have justify why you shoot a pigeon or a bloody rook is out of bounds here in wales. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Centrepin Posted March 17, 2021 Report Share Posted March 17, 2021 I'm sure it was covered on the Fieldsports channel on YouTube. I watched it and as an idea to protect our sport is a good idea. Before deciding either way, why not watch it. Facebook i can't comment on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_b_wales Posted March 17, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2021 It's too late for me regarding my census, as I've already done it. But I've joined the website, and, as mentioned, there are many members who are not 'loonies' and maybe, this website might go towards helping our sport.

I'm sure that the government will look on it favourably just like the Jedis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
