Countryside Alliance vs. BASC

[spandit]

I'm thinking of doing a bit of airgunning this year and really should have public liability insurance. To join the CA is £60 a year, BASC £66 - is there an advantage of one over the other?

I notice on the CA site that if you join as a syndicate (7 people or more) you pay £22 for the first year, £44 after that - anyone interested in forming a syndicate?

I'd be worried that, although the site says they cover anywhere in the UK, an English land owner might not have heard of them. The CA is cheaper for the first 2 years (£66 rather than £70) at time of writing

Dont go with BASA (British Airgun Shooters' Association) They are cheap but have a shocking reputation.
CCC seem to be well regarded http://www.ccc3.org.uk/home
No conection just going by what I have heard.

I have been with BASC for years now. Always send what they say they will send but not the cheapest.

SACS has a similarly good reputation. Appear to offer value for money.

Not heard anyonespeak about the CA insurance so can't comment.

BASC all the way

I agree with the basc comment. They are great and the advice and help I've had from them is worth the money alone. I'd go with them andy time, and have for years...

NGO are OK too

 

[mrmike]

I would second the NGO, cheaper than BASC too...

I support BASC ...its not abut money. Its about who represents your views. Or just buy insurance.

I joined BASC to support what they do with the very long view on looking at getting my FAC. They do quite a lot round my area and that's a good thing. I get stuff through the post all the time from them too, and it's all very interesting.

Hey mrcairney...you up for that shoot in April?

 

[mrcairney]

Sure am. PM me with bits and bobs. Looking forward to it!

I'm in BASC, CA and NGO but I agree BASC is the main one

Might want to be careful with that if you ever need to make a claim on one of the insurance policies (hope you never do though) as most policies have a clause that if another policy held will cover you, they won't pay out.

BASC will cover your needs and when you start expanding into real shooting will give you better opportunities.
