Er, well, here's me prattling along about 'one organisation' and an
'umbrella' organisation, embracing all the main existing associations and
then Norman Bassett comes along and tells me about the BSSC.
The BSSC (British Shooting Sports Council) already exists and represents
BASC, APCTSG, SAGBNI, CA, NRA, CPSA, NSRA, GTA, SST, MLA and UKPSA.
I would say that's 75% of UK shooting associations - based on membership
nos.
Is there anyone out there who can tell us a little more about the BSSC? Can
we get the rest of the 'unnattached' associations to affiliate? Will they
accept individuals? How is it funded?
Anyone know?
Cheers

BSSC has been around for ages. Essentially they have meetings of
the association reps once in a while to decide on common policies.
Funding for them comes from donations. There is no individual
membership.
Pretty much everyone lost faith in them with their "keep quiet"
policy after Dunblane that was patently obviously the wrong thing
to do. (And the main reason I started Cybershooters).
The fact that you haven't heard of them before speaks volumes.
I think they're a bit better than they were simply because of the
huge amount of complaints, but it's a bit late now.
