Yes all gone now, the good old BASC Saturdays throughout February were always good fun and well frequented.

You are right mossy, there was a time where it sounded like a large clay shoot going on all afternoon around this way , things have certainly changed , new building sites close to woodland and  many other reasons why those days seem to have vanished into thin air , some years were better than others but even a quite year people would stick it out for the whole six weeks then , now it is down to four weeks and if they don't get much shooting the first week then that might be the last time you see them , cold , wet and other weather conditions can and do make a difference to the numbers that turn out , then even though for the time being it is perfectly legal you still get members ask if they can still shoot Pigeons without being on a crop , we have to accept , the times they are a changing .  MM

Could it be a simple as that now BASC don't like to be seen encouraging some types of shooting like they used to organise?
