I have been interested for some time in BASC's make up, funding and membership.
Here are - variously
3.4 Please state any close links which any of the directors has with any society, company or authority. ‘Close links’ includes any directorships or senior positions held by directors of the society in other organisations.
Ian Bell, Peter Glenser, Eoghan Cameron - Trustees of the Wildlife Habitat Trust, Wildlife Habitat (Conservation Stamp) Trust, Wildlife Charitable Trust.
Peter Glenser, Eoghan Cameron and Martyn Jones - Directors of BASC Direct Limited
John Thornley, Peter Watson and Stephen Bloomfield - Directors of the Deer Management Qualifications Limited
Cara Richardson - Director of International Big Game and Bird Hunting Limited
Alasdair Mitchell - Owner of farm land
Peter Watson - Trustee of Smallwoods Association, Director of the Game Alliance Limited
John Thornley and Ian Bell - Trustee and director of the Deer Initiative Limited
Angela Davies - Company Secretary for Deer Management Qualifications limited, BASC Direct Limited, The Code of Good Shooting Practice Limited, Deer Stalking Certification, DMQ Limited, BASC limited, W.D.M Qualifications. Director of the Code of Good Shooting Practice Limited
Stephen Bloomfield and Christopher Graffius - Directors of BASC Limited
Eoghan Cameron - Manager Birse Community Trust
Oliver McCollough - Committee member Strangford Lough Joint Wildfowling Clubs and Comber Wildfowling
Sally-Anne Cockerill - Director of Landsense professional Limited
Sarah Turner - Secretary of the Greater Exmoor Shoots Association
I was not aware that BASC had so many directors.
BASC's statement justifying their status as a Community Benefit Trust:-
"The whole community benefited from the campaigning undertaken by the Association and by the work it did in informing and educating decision makers at all levels in relation to matters related to the sport, its participants and the benefits it delivers. Shooting participants and other received benefit from the technical guidance, training and education made available to them by the Association. The general public has benefited from the work BASC does to ensure the existence of well-controlled, self-regulated shooting sector which acts responsibly and safety and delivers conservation benefits at a landscape scale. They have benefited from the economic contribution made by the sport as well as the work the Association has done to encourage country-sports based tourism in the UK and to develop the UK market for game meat. The rural environment and economy have benefited from the delivery of conservation by the Association itself and by the work it has done to enable and encourage its members to undertake conservation projects. Wildlife and their habitats benefited directly from those projects "
If you want to check the accounts - look at the record on here Mutuals Public Register: The British Association for Shooting and Conservation Limited lodged for up to 2018. It requires downloading.
