bigroomboy Posted January 29, 2022 Report Share Posted January 29, 2022 Yep I got the same thing. Rubbish really, I've kept the old card in my wallet as the new one won't last 5 mins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
did i miss Posted January 29, 2022 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2022 Well I wonder how many times people are going to ask for replacements because they aren't going to last mine didn't even make it off the paper it came on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enfieldspares Posted January 29, 2022 Report Share Posted January 29, 2022 (edited) I'm with CPSA. I got a plastic card AND a smaller plastic key ring card like the small Morrison's key ring cards. Oh...and I get legal representation which BASC have withdrawn. But there you are £10 more for BASC, no legal representation and a scrappy piece of paper. But I guess all that promotion for a ban on lead shot that BASC want costs money! I'd see if you've a fourteen day cooling off period to cancel! https://www.cpsa.co.uk/files/download/532/CPSA-Insurance-Leaflet.pdf Edited January 29, 2022 by enfieldspares Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scully Posted January 29, 2022 Report Share Posted January 29, 2022 This isn’t a recent thing though is it? I haven’t been a BASC member for many a year, and even back then it was a serrated paper card you popped from the letter. I think I still have most of mine somewhere, including a smaller version for my key ring, or was that Morrisons? 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine goes in a draw and is replaced when the new ones arrive Many many venues insist on seeing proof of insurance not only if shooting for crop protection but also game, stalking, zeroing on "pay and play" ranges but also clay grounds. A durable plastic card evidences that. And for the cost of producing one to use some sort of bogus Carrie Johnson save the planet nonsense is just that. Bogus and nonsense. It shows that you value to the organisation is a scrap of paper! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

did i miss Posted January 30, 2022 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2022 Hi yes it's not a big problem but if it's a cost thing they should give a option to pay a little more for a plastic one My derv cards get renewed once a year at a charge of £2.50p each not a problem My thing is the paper one gets damaged or destroyed I ring up send me a new one please and at that point it starts to cost basc to send new ones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

enfieldspares Posted January 30, 2022 Report Share Posted January 30, 2022 In New Zealand they do things with commonsense. Here under the Marford Mill "diktat" they want us to do things the way BASC says and dictates we should do them. Because they know best. What's best for the British Game Alliance and it seems what's best for you and what's best for me. A blanket ban. Everywhere. For all calibres. But then come renewal time the mugs and the mugged off will still send their money to Marford Mill. I stopped years ago. So should everybody. https://fishandgame.org.nz/game-bird-hunting-in-new-zealand/hunting-regulations/non-toxic-shot-regulations/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scobydog Posted January 31, 2022 Report Share Posted January 31, 2022 Thought i had lost my wallet, so rang Basc for a replacement which duly arrived @ 1 week later, it was hard plastic same as they used to be. Luckily found my wallet stuffed in a drawer. S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
