Superficiality is a characteristic of a few members on here, stupidity, fewer still.

Pleeeeeese make it go away!..........
BASC have provided me with all i need. I have phoned on several occasions for advise and they have always been very helpful. There are a few others out there as well like BDS, SGA, SACS. If we don't use them we loose them sort of thing.

I wanted a simple question answered about the motor discounts. I phoned and asked the question, I was told, because you not a member, I can't tell you the answer! I said, but if the answer is yes, I will become a member. She said, you will have to become a member and then we can tell you the answer, if its not the answer you're looking for, you can cancel your membership and get a refund!
Honestly, no wonder the country is in the state it is!

IT ALL ABOUT THE MONEY.
This "Aim To Sustain" umbrella group should pave the way for a single organisation. Less superannuated jobs for the boys, and one single subscription. One HQ. No duplication of roles.

Is it not the case that you have to have been a full member of BASC for a year before you can take advantage of such a scheme and that any discount is negotiated direct with the dealer/agent/motor trader concerned....so irrespective of what you may or may not have been told by BASC upon your initial enquiry would appear quite frankly pointless. BASC cannot anticipate what factors will influence the “global market” 12 months after your membership has been accepted, exampled at this moment by the current demand, supply and overall limited availability of new vehicles on the market. The OPs original question was about joining and taking BASC insurance and what, if any, were the additional “perks”, which I commented on at #24. Personally I have benefited very well out of the BASC motor discount scheme. I am also a member of several other shooting organisations and also take advantage of any benefits or “perks” they offer as part of the membership package. I support such organisations because that’s what I want to do.....irrespective of other persons experiences or views.
As I was a member for 6 years up until about 4 years ago, as soon as I re -start my membership the vehicle discount is applicable. I just needed a simple question answered.
In the end i got the guys email address from a friend and emailed direct, got an amswer in 5 minutes

So if you were an AA menber, would you phone the RAC because you used to belong some years ago but gave up, to help you with a problem? You chose not to be a BASC member, yet you expect them to waste their time answering your questions about vehicle discounts available to those who have chosen to be members? Astonishing.
Would you join an organisation withiut knowing what they offer?

No. I would ...and have.... join an organisation that promoted shooting and consevation. If vehicle discount was available ...great. But that would not be my reason for joining.
I joined in 1963/4, so probably that is what I remember from then. Could be wrong, of course.
I was still at school. Still got the WAGBI blaser badge!
Many years ago, when I was a member I asked how much time and how many people were involved in securing the member discounts, as I felt then as I do now they should be concentrating on protecting shooter interests not getting a few quid off a new car. Nobody knew the answer
If you are unwilling to try to fight a descision that is bad for the sport how is an organisation going to be viewed by members.
