BASC announced as official partner of The Stalking Show

[Scotty99]

I’m a BASC member and a strong supporter of BASC. I also go the Stalking Show and have done since it started. Yet I struggle to see what real value BASC will add to an already highly successful and entirely relevant (to deer stalking) show that is the Stalking Show in its current form. It already has excellent live demonstrations such as the one by Jose Souto and Rachel Green the other year where they demoed the skinning of a Roe doe, quartering and butchering it as well as cooking a venison dish to pass around the audience. This was so informative and engaging to watch as well as to taste. So I reiterate my earlier comment, I’m not convinced BASC will be able to add any further value to an already excellent show. Perhaps @Conor O'Gorman can give us more details as to exactly what BASC will be bringing to the party?

If NickJ is right then why hasn’t the BDS told their members and supporters yet? BASC have stolen the limelight

You could ask your local Chairman, or a committee member of the branch.

Pity it is a new partnership with just the BASC….. I wonder what the back ground was in the deal…. Just BASC as a condition? I’d have preferred a joint shared effort of support from all the organisations…. Surely the bigger organisations should all be on the one supportive fighting front…stand united ….. Think of the collective power they could generate if they all pulled together. I hate this who can **** highest up the wall stuff…..

So we have a charity partnership and a financial partnership, nowt wrong with that.

All we need now is for the NGO to come forward and make a bid for another partnership slot e.g. professional partners.

I thought it was very much on the level of the post I quoted.

What relevance has Swift to BASC partnering with the Stalking Show?

You’re welcome

What relevance has Swift to BASC partnering with the Stalking Show?

When I last went to shoot a deer I used lead ammunition?

To which a ban on the use of lead ammunition which was called for by, as well as others, a body of which said Mr Swift was a prominent member of?

And to whom BASC has very recently awarded a life membership to?

He retired from BASC in 2013

The thread relates to 2026.

Do you understand what a “ life membership “ is or do you need further explanation?

 

[Mickeydredd]

Do you understand what a “ life membership “ is or do you need further explanation?

I do, it means he has been given life membership of a shooting organisation.

It doesn’t mean he is involved in decisions to align with a shooting based show

Do you understand the meaning of letting go…



I’m sure this is one of your favourite shows
