triscrx Posted August 18, 2008 Report Share Posted August 18, 2008 My oppo is just about to get Full BASC Membership and when I was checking his form over I was shocked to see Students get membership for £19 Cheaper!! As usual they get discount on everything. Why are they entitled to such a discount? And if anyone here works for BASC how about some discount for the military shooters amongst us. You never see discount or special loan rates for the forces Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

webber Posted August 18, 2008 Report Share Posted August 18, 2008 What about the over 50s, unemployed, disabled? The problem is where do you draw the line? but the end result is always the same; that being that full fee paying members end up paying even more. Students tend to only be students for a few years, and then hopefully get a well paid job and pay full membership! webber Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anser2 Posted August 18, 2008 Report Share Posted August 18, 2008 Most students are not wealthy and end their education in heavy debt from student loans which takes years to pay off. However tricrix you are on a good wage in the armed forces and should not begrudge a small subsidy to those less well off , who may be the future lifeblood of our sport. Many of the students leaving university will become disision makers of the future and the more of them we can get on board the better.

Yeah right, the only decision most of them will be making is whether to work stacking shelves in Tesco's or flipping burgers in McDonalds!!

triscrx Posted August 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2008 Yeah the wage isnt too bad in the forces but then we do risk alot to deserve the wage. I just think the government could do alot more for the forces where discount is concerned. Rail discount?! I would rather hitch hike or walk than get on a train nowadays!! Never on time and if you are lucky you will get a seat! And then the price of a ticket is a pisstake.. I stopped getting trains about 8 years ago, never again..
