    I see the new Secretary General of FACE is Dr David Scallan, nice to see an Irish man take a top spot in Europe?

    Yes, saw that a nice lad knows his stuff did a sting with the NARGC for a while if I remember.

    Met him a couple of times too at various events and a real conservationist at heart so is an excellent choice to bring best practice to bare on the hunting scene across the EU

    He done a nice piece on "vermin control and the law" on the NPWS site a few years back

    Well hope things work out for him, he is well qualified to hold his own against anything the antis could throw at him it will be a tough job since we are under attack from all quarters what with lead ban etc. We need to all get smart on Conservation and biodiversity.

    Hopefully, he can kick some life back into FACE in Brussels.FACE lost a lot of ground over there over the last 6to 8 years, due to infighting and who of the big chiefs were going to get what salaries and which plush office in the Barlemont.:mad: Also,it needs to react quicker to any proposed legislation in the EU on firearms matters. It was almost six weeks before FACE reacted to the EU gun ban post the Paris attacks,when it dawned on them that a Modern Sporting rifle ban would affect its members too. While concerned civilians were on the ball within 24 hours with lobbying and petitions.:rolleyes:
