Iwrch,
Thanks for the feedback about the deer village, I had picked it up on the other thread and already sent a message to Steve Bloomfiled with the comments. I was there both days and thought his plans for the village and fair overall were great, and hope to work with Steve to make next years show even better, so any thoughts you guys may have please let me / Steve know.
Turning back to the poll, I did not take the poll as a 'BASC gripe' on the contrary I think it is useful and interesting. For those who have said on the poll they have particular issues please let me know what they are.
I know that as BASC is a very large organisation with such diverse membership we can seem to be a tad aloof maybe at times, but we certainly don't want to! So sorry if it ever comes across as such.
BASC can only get better and stronger with the help and support of the membership, this means BASC communication effectively to you, and you letting us know your thoughts and feelings, concerns etc.
I cannot promise we will always be able to please all of you all of the time, but we will certainly do our best to please most of you most of the time. What more can we do?
Sometimes the copy deadlines for Shooting & Conservation, and the ‘flash to bang’ from copy to design to print means that another story breaks a tad too late to be covered in the mag, so we have to ‘launch’ the news via e-mail or the web, or the general shooting press and follow it up in Shooting & Conservation all be it in a later issue
Please keep in touch with me either through this forum or directly if you have any questions or concerns , I am here to help.
David
