BASC Northern Ireland

A Scottish daily newspaper – the Press & Journal – has reported on a new initiative to promote the eating of wild Scottish venison.

BASC has made a deal with a top clothing company that will save the association thousands of pounds.

A new condition for firearms certificates, which would allow shooters with larger calibre rifles to take smaller pest species, has been approved by the Association of Chief Police Officers (ACPO) Firearms and Explosives Licensing Working Group (FELWG).

It may be an inner-city pub but at the Angel, writes JEFFREY OLSTEAD, you?ll find superb game cooking and locals who are flocking to country sports.

BASC has been promoting game as a healthy, sustainable and highly nutritious food source since the mid 1960?s and through its Game?s On campaign which was launched in 2005.

BASC held its annual liaison meeting with the NFU and CLA on 2 June where various topical issues were discussed ranging from the possible implications to shooters of cross compliance and the Water Framework Directive.

The Game’s On campaign has been featured in an article on thePublican.com website. thePublican.com is the leading community and information resource for the UK pub industry with over 87,000 registered users.
