Has anyone seen this before?

I feel left out for not being on it!! :rolmao: :rolmao: :rolmao:

Never mind Gary, you could always join the ISWBA (Idaho State Womens Bowling Association) that Adi linked to. Then you could put "member of ISWBA" on your website to impress everyone. :rolmao:

Well, I've just formed the British Bushcraft Council. Phoned channel 4 about getting a series, I think the chap was a Russian cos what he said ended in "ov"!

Anyway, once you've all paid me your subs you can carve your spoons in confidence! :wave: :wave:

 

[sargey]

That's right, and I said I'd got a great idea for a tv series based on an audatious raid from world war 2, the series would be called -

"The real Kelly's Heros"

I was particularly looking forward to drinking all that looted vino!

I expect the solicitors acting for one of the prominent shools are now on the case. you can't use a trade mark without permission

I'm not sure if trademark law covers this issue

trademark law only comes into effect when a trademark is used (i.e. a logo or a name in a particular font and colour) in such a way as to mislead the public

simply stating the companys name is not a trademark issue as long as you are stating fact (if what you are stating is false then its slander)

however in this case the 'association' has implied that the company endorses them whilst this may not be a trademark issue I'm sure there is grounds for legal action.

at the very least it is incredibly rude and unprofessional

It should be noted that i am not legally trained and as such i may be wrong I would be interested to hear the veiw of someone with a legal background on this matter

 

[MartiniDave]

Please note also that my tongue is firmly in my cheek!

However, you can still send me the subscriptions if you wish!

Cheques payable to CASH, a subsidiary of the British Bushcraft Council.

I theng you!

Crafters' Axe Sharpening Helpline??

Cor,Anyone Still Here?

Seriously though has anybody contacted the Survival school to give them a chance to reply. It does seem bad to claim an association that does not exist. i would be interested to hear what they have got to say on the matter. Its easy to have a trial by media.

 

[Stuart]

I would be very suprised if Drew and Johnny from survival school have not already read this post, and if they have anything to say on the matter they are free to do so here

Looks like there have been some changes on the site ... the page listing corporate members is now gone, but new outdoors schools have been added to the list ...

 

[Gary]

Ya I see what you mean Adi, however corporate list is still there and a list of fellows - I wonder how they feel about this 'fellowship of the thing'?

I'm sure Lars Falt and Mors kochanski are most delighted!

I have a bad feeling about all this - :yikes:
