Scully Posted April 29, 2022 Report Share Posted April 29, 2022 I hope you told them why you weren’t renewing. None now, but in ascending order I have been in the NPA, NRA ( by affiliation ) SAGBNI, SRA, CPSA, BASC and finally NGO. Currently Gunplan.

marsh man Posted April 29, 2022 Report Share Posted April 29, 2022 I am with B A S C simply because it is built in with my wildfowling clubs membership , before B A S C it was W A G B I which I first joined as a junior member in 1964 and have been a member ever since .

I left BASC a few years back. Joined Scottish Gamekeepers Association (SGA) instead. As far as I'm aware, they are the only org to have not gone along with the lead fiasco. e.g. here Lead Shot Ammunition | Scottish Gamekeepers and here Scottish Gamekeepers Association News: THE SGA AND LEAD SHOT Edited April 29, 2022 by Piebob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samboy Posted April 29, 2022 Report Share Posted April 29, 2022 I won't be rejoining the BASC this year. With no insurance what's the point. I will have to follow this post to see what i think will be best for me. I only shoot rabbits squirrels and clays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bottletopbill Posted April 29, 2022 Report Share Posted April 29, 2022 If only they watched the feedback on here any organisation and took on board what we want covered they would have shooters rushing to join. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suggest you do the same; if enough people object to their incompetence there may be a tiny possibility that they'll finally sit up and take notice of the people who fund their company cars.

I explained my choice with 6 good reasons in my post .As for the lead shot ban ,well I haven’t used anything other than steel for the last 8 or 9 years in all of my guns ,it’s time for some to move on ,or just wake up to reality .

BASC insurance have only stopped covering legal fees, members are still covered for £10million third party liability if they cause an accident whilst shooting.

Ajarrett Posted April 30, 2022 Report Share Posted April 30, 2022 KWCA only. We have our own £10,000,000 insurance cover, all the club facilities including all the shooting you can want for. Associate members can join for £30, which give access to website, events, insurance etc. and a day's shooting all in Since we disaffiliated from BASC we haven't looked back, and for this year starting 1st April we already have over 1,000 members. Full members saved over £50 a year when we disaffiliated. Sad to leave BASC, but we felt there were good reasons for doing so - which I will not rehearse here in case they threaten to sue us again!

Grandalf Posted April 30, 2022 Report Share Posted April 30, 2022 WAGBI then, reluctantly, BASC. I did not want it to be anything other than an organisation for fowlers. They are not perfect but probably the best of the current bunch for the activities I have. That's fowling, vermin and stalking. They did give my very small wildfowling (six members) much support when we had a battle with Natural England about our licence. (NE own the land that we shoot). All sorted now with a three year licence. Don't get me started on lead shot for everything though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tell me, what are you doing with the thousands of birds that you must be finding dead, due to lead shot ingestion ? Our marshes down here do not seem to be suffering any losses.
