I agree with Mike. When approaching a landowner, you need to be tactful and approach him with all the necessary paperwork already in hand. If he plainly refuses to talk to you, then be ready to give him some documents that he can read at his leisure. Give him something that has our contact details for the club (telephone/email/website/BCA insurance etc) and then he can contact us if he wishes at a later date.
It may also be helpful for us to add a page to our website ***: 'Information for landoweners', that concisely gives them the facts with links to further reading if they are interested.
