The BASC Wales team has had an exceptionally productive May 📆
Some of the highlights include a packed out Talking Stalking evening, training for the North Wales Police Rural Crime team, and celebrating the highest standard of competitive shooting at the BASC .410 World Championship.
At Westminster, we proudly supported the Wrexham Showcase, providing an excellent platform to highlight BASC's work across Wales. We also had an insightful curlew visit with David Chadwick MP and a productive meeting at Marford Mill with Andrew Ranger MP.
Thank you to our members, volunteers, partners, stakeholders and sponsors for your continued support👏
