paulos Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 Dont forget to mention the fantastic car window sticker :unsure: stag The car sticker is quite nice, however they can also make a fairly effective bullseye for a miffed anti with a rock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magman Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 To be honest i would be more impressed with a credit card style than a bit of paper laminated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon2008 Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 Id like a BASC sticker for my cabinet please Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scout Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 Certainly looks better than it used to. Very happy with Basc but thinking of changing to CA as they offer quarterly payments and given the current economic climate may have to go that way to stay insured and represented. Shame as as already said I am pleased with Basc, and all my land owners recognise it as the prefered option for shooters on their land.

Lurch Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 Style over substance? I'd be happy with biro on a bog roll provided they did the blag in terms of PR and lobbying. If it weren't for the firearms team I wouldn't **** on them if they were on fire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 Yeah I was very happy with BASC, rang them the other day to ask them advice about the location of my cabinet and such and they were very helpful and had a ncie chat with them on the phone. The guys were very friendly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David BASC Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 Thanks for the feedback. As I may have mentioned before, we are looking to move to a plastic card, I think I have identified a supplier who can do it for the same price as the current one. Yes we do send out letter requesting donations from time to time if there is a specific need- typically once every 2 years, but if you do not want to get them you can ask not to receive anything from BASC apart from the mag and your card and your annual membership reminder. The firearms team are excellent and a true credit to BASC, as are the other teams, but many of the others do not have quite such a high profile are firearms. I think we sometimes do not get across properly the effectiveness of our political and media work. Lurch, I hope I am never on fire when you are around! Best wishes to all.

Maybe David could raise this at the next gathering of great minds. Im sure they would be happy to consider it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soreshoulder Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 i cannot see why everyone 'slags' them just for there high prices. ok maybe there prices are steep, but maybe if they wernt we wouldnt get the same exellent quality advice and service and maybe they wouldnt without the funding be the biggest voice of shooting. personally i think the are the dogs' and i am going to be a member until i can no longer lift a gun, as they have helped me so much in the aquisition of my FAC and i went through alot of hassel from the local police about my age regarding supervision and what not. i would like to publicly say without the basc I PROBABLY WOULDNT HAVE THE RIGHTS ON MY FAC THAT THE LAW SAYS I SHOULD big up matt in the firearms department if you would david im with BASC for life Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David BASC Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 Thank you for that, I will see Matt on Friday and I will pass on your regards and thanks. It is true that we are not cheap - but as several of you have said the cost is not everything! Thanks again. David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scout Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 Very pleased you're discussing phased payments. Price isn't the issue just how to pay, as I said above I've always been pleased with the service. Thanks for comments David glad to know things don't fall on deaf ears.

lister1 Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 phased payment would be great ireally want to be a member but i'm skint at the mo. so i've got to wait till pay day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GatGun Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 David BASC Normally I pay cash. This year Im a bit skint so ive sent of my Direct debit form for monthly payments. Just got my new card yesterday, but no details of how much il be paying or when the payments come out. Do I get another letter explaining or am I expected to ring up and ask ? Il be asking the letters to stop then ! We dont all shoot purdeys you know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David BASC Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 Just a thought, but until BASC brings in phased payments, and given that things are going to be tight anyway I will let you know what I have done- I have set up another bank account - interest bearing (although not much!) into which I put a sum of money each month by standing order- this builds up over the year so by October I have enough to pay for my BASC sub, my clay pigeon club sup and my pigeon shooting club sub. The smaller amount I save each month is not really missed, and the fact it is in a separate account means I tend not do 'dip' into it until the shooting bills start arriving. Just a thought.

lister1 Posted January 23, 2009 Report Share Posted January 23, 2009 your exactly right. but i didn't think of that a year ago and now i'm just to impatient. perhaps i should stop spending money on stupid things lets face £77 for me and the missus for a years membership isn't much especialy if i ever needed to use the insurance! which i hope i never do. perhaps i'll start saving for next year now.
