Just re-entered the world of making baits from scratch so hoping there is lots of information on building your own base mix

There is, some example recipes to get you started as well as lots of solid advice. You won't be disappointed.

Sounds like an interesting read, some decent minds involved, will no doubt order a copy when I'm back home.
The last few BCSG books have all been well put to gether great reads.
There's always more that could be in any book .
Looking forward to reading mine.
As for the BCSG it's not for everyone, as with everything in life you get back what you put into something.

Feedback continues to be extremely positive and progress on sales is very strong so far so we're anticipating it to sell out pretty quickly, possibly before Xmas.

Received mine and this book is a huge credit to anyone who had anything to do with it.
I absolutely love it, the quality of it and the format, you can dip in and out, use as reference, reminders, reminiscing and learning.
Brilliant well played all.

Are you a member? Are you aloud to say?? Or just an interest in bait..

I'm not and am actually now an anti member ;0)
I was invited over 20 years ago to go to the meeting chat with the guys etc and take it from there. It was everything I strived for when I was a teenager- but the dawning realisation that it was open membership and certainly not what it was meant I lost interest and didn't take it any further. It now seems just a club for a few pints and not the knowledge sharing of old, members take a mate and the mate joins and the cycle continues.
That's not to slag it off but I don't really like fishing with company, so spending social time with groups of people I have little in common with apart from fishing is not something that I'd be into.
The books are brilliant and there are a percentage of members that don't write often and only do when they have something to say - I love that.

55 thanks for the feedback. It was a massive undertaking to bring it to print and I put a huge amount of effort into getting it as perfect as possible. It's nice to see that people recognise that.

If the BCSG's values are all about British carp fishing, as the name seems to suggest, why did they choose to hold their annual Northern social weekend at a fishery known for stocking imported strains of carp, the Approach Fishery, formerly Willows near Leeds.
There's nothing funnier that watching a group of supposed "purists" fishing for imported wrong uns on an official BCSG weekend
I'm convinced the Northern region is just an old boys club who meet up to do quiz's, have a pub lunch and look at Cundiff's old photo slides of mid doubles and day ticket imports.

Nicky the BCSG isn't about being a purist and it's not about catching British fish. People can fish for whatever they want and use whatever gear they want.

You consider any U.K Carp not to be imported at some point....hmm...degrees of difference.
At what generation do you consider them to be viable as a purist pursuit?

What the hell
Tell us how you'd do it then...go on...scaley bangers, bbq, piss up bruv, drum & bass, throwing each other into the water
What happened to each to their own :-P
EDIT, jic it's not taken in the spirit it was meant, that was a joke.

The 8th edition is a fantastic publishing, well done to you, Dave Gawthorn (who I haven't seen in years) for kicking it off and all involved.
I took the book on hols expecting to dip in and out of a few chapters of interest. Ended up reading it all and have marked quite a few chapters to go back to (I did read quite a bit with quite a few beers keeping it company).
