Griff first of all congrats on your apointment .Now may i ask will this be stalking related or every thing to do with BASC . As i did like you opinions on the legislation and was woundering if you would now have a say in its future direction.
Choc,
Thanks!
I am stalker, and as a stalker would represent the best interest of stalkers within BASC, there are other areas within BASC that require input, so I would not be restricting myself to just Stalking related matters.
Will I have an influence on the future direction of BASC,I hope so, but I am only 1 council member out of 19(got to start somewhere)
Irwch,
thanks! Steve does have to be commended in his efforts along with Willie-Gunn, I can think of several others things I would prefer to be doing an a Sat afternoon(needlework-knitting etc).
There were some interesting comments about the lead ban and where that is progressing, and work that is going on behind the scenes after the shootings in Cumbria.
So not a lost afternoon.
Talasker,
I see your post was edited by CSL so will only be able to comment on the issues you seem to have.
Perhaps as a member(if you are) you could put forward a motion to change the date that would suit most, and venue that would appeal to all.
I doubt very much, no matter where that venue was or the date, it would suit all.
It was Scotland's turn this time around, and suited the Scots down to a tee.
Next time who knows, perhaps a suggestion by members could be addressed.
I can assure you that neither Steves or anybody elses proposals will get buried by council, if you have evidence of that happening perhaps you could forward those details to me, or better still, air them on open forum so that they cannot be buried.

What is apparent, is the lack of information that is getting out to members, while David BASC posts regulaly on this forum he cannot do it all, it would be unreasonable to expect that he do so.
We can however help ourselves with the help of David ands others, get the info/message across.
The BASC website is available to ALL, even non members,perhaps with the help of Admin we could have a sticky that is updated weekly with the behind the scenes activity on what affects our sport.
I am going to enjoy my time as a council member, I may not be popular, I may not be always right, but I will be there..
regards
Griff
