Just back home from Stirling... my own reason for being there has had what I view to be some succsess, I withdrew the motion for rule changes to allow internet accsess for the wider membership, in relation to AGM's & other matters, on condition it went to council...

My hat goes off to Steve & Willie-gunn, who drove 6-7hrs just to have his motion heard.
He put his point across well, probably not the outcome he was looking for,but nonetheless a success that it will be discussed at council level, I hope that we will be able to offer Steve an invite when it is discussed.

Have you received that invitation yet, Steve?

That will make getting down to the Mill that much easier should the invitation ever come through.

Any member of this forum who gets elected to the BASC council to drive for a change for the common shooting man deserves respect.
I like many others saw our keepering comittee wipped-in, our foreshores made lead free with little fight, our game rearing code messed with and now the lead comittee stitch up. It is not what I want from a professional body that is supposed to represent my profession and sport. I hope they listen to new council members. I have made my views known to BASC - -no reply.
Surely constructive criticism should be welcomed or is it do not talk of the elephant in the room.

looks to me like it gets your account suspended if you dont agree with them, unfortunate attitude to take really and to gloat about it is very shallow, not a member of any particular organisation at the moment myself but basc is definitlely slideing well beyond the list of possibles

Like many of you after 20+ years membership of WAGBI and BASC I became disillusioned and left. There were numerous reasons why, but basically the lack of effective pro-active polical lobbying against the pistol ban and making the Firearms Act more shooter friendly: e.g. Why aren't bona-fide sporting rifles subject to the same section 2 controls as shotguns which appear to work just as well as the section 1 controls in terms of public safety and crime prevention.
The final straw however was Jonathon Swift's comments during the passage of the Hunting Act praising it's sponsor Alun Michael MP.
