BASC Affiliation

[scout]

I am a member of several other shooting forums, one of which has raised a discussion topic with regard to becoming an affiliated club with BASC, apparently this costs the forum nothing, but gives registered members a discounted membership fee from BASC, I think they have suggested £51. Has anyone else come across this, and if so should we be looking at doing this with Pigeon Watch?

As a foot note it has been suggested that you can return your membership and get a refund within the first 6 months so you can take advantage of the affiliated membership. I have less than 6 months to run on mine, but i am very interested for the future and this saves a few quid.

cheers

In theory this isn't a good idea unless your only after the insurance.

I gladly pay the full price and pay by direct debit to save them some money knowing that they put every penny to good use.

I have been a member for 9 years now and have a lot to thank them for. I really enjoyed their young shots events when I was younger and doubt I'd have grown such an interest in this sport without them.

Big up the BASC!

The forum is not a club, is the problem that I see with this idea. I am a member of a BASC affiliated wildfowling club, the treasurer pays the members subscriptions to BASC, they are not paid individually.
