BASC Wales

A comprehensive guide to the facts on shooting sports has been distributed to every newsroom across the country. ‘Shooting – the facts for journalists’ has been compiled and published by BASC.

BASC has recommended the removal of local nature reserves as a subject matter in its response to a Community and Local Government consultation proposing to change the way in which by-laws are made and enforced by local authorities in England.

His Royal Highness, the Duke of Edinburgh, has praised BASC for its work to promote shooting and conservation over the last hundred years. He was speaking at the BASC Centenary Reception, held at Coutts and Co in London.

The chief executive of BASC, John Swift, has written to the chief executive of Barnardos asking him to personally intervene in the row over the charities latest campaign video.

BASC has received an apology from Barnardos over its portrayal of ‘hunters’ in its latest campaign film.

BASC and all those who are active in legal shooting sports will be shocked and deeply concerned by the irresponsible portrayal of people involved in shooting in Barnardo’s latest awareness campaign. Shock advertisements such as this demean the cause of child protection.

BASC has welcomed the findings of a new report from the House of Commons Environment Audit Committee on halting biodiversity loss.

One of Britain’s biggest supermarkets, Sainsbury’s, has teamed up with the British Association for Shooting and Conservation (BASC) to promote the eating of game.
