With a coastline stretching from the River Thames to The Wash, and inland as far West as Peterborough, the Eastern Region encompasses some of the most unique landscapes in the UK and includes The Fens and The Broads. Along with the acres of saltmarsh and wetlands the region also covers the nation’s breadbasket, its capital, and strives to represent every aspect of shooting from the grass roots upwards.

With such varied membership in the region, BASC is the voice of  the shooting community at all levels in the East in our common objectives - the promotion of healthy eco-systems, and therefore healthy quarry species; the maintenance of standards; access to shooting opportunities for all; and fair and balanced coverage in the media.

Full biography/contact details:

Simon grew up chasing his meals in the heart of North West Norfolk and graduated from Edinburgh University in 2000 with a Masters in Religious Studies and History of Art. He still enjoys beating having started at the age of eight, and now combines that with all forms of shooting and fishing, and picking up when he can, although his first passion will always be pigeon shooting. Simon has worked in the gun trade for the last decade firstly in Bonham’s’ Gun Department, then with Holt’s Auctioneers, and latterly as gunroom manager for Ling’s Country Goods.
