Re: Site issues but now rectified

It might take some time to get some posts going, I had all but given up assuming the forum was gone for ever, happened to be going to click on adjacent link when I tried 'one last time'.

Re: Check your FAC/SGC renewal wait times!

As it's been over a year since my renewal application went in a bit of an update, well nothing to report I'm still on section 7 temporary certificates.
I think it's fair to say the system is buggered.

Re: Check your FAC/SGC renewal wait times!

I see in BASC mag, Beds/Cambs/Herts have declared a critical incidence on licensing! Seems things are going from bad to worse.

Re: Check your FAC/SGC renewal wait times!

Bit of an update.
I've now been issued a section 7 licnce for my rifles and shotguns, the wording of which appears to not allow the purchase of ammunition, fortunately I reasonably well stocked up. So I would advise to make sure you are are also stocked up prior to your licnce running out.

My certificate hasn't yet expired, but I've already received a 2 month extension, must remember to print it off in case of problems.

Re: Check your FAC/SGC renewal wait times!

After waiting for Doc's cert I made my application online 18 weeks before renewal time, so will have to see how it goes, I did receive a letter whilst waiting for Doc's cert IIRC it said if the application was made by a certain date (16 weeks before expiry?) then a temporary cert would be issued if ...

Re: Check your FAC/SGC renewal wait times!

The same place as I was when on AGBBS, 6 chains from the graveyard. ;)
AFAIK many areas have a similar problem, a quick check online and D&C say 12 months! :o

Problems getting onto forum

The last few days I've not been able to get on here from laptop, clicking onto my usual bookmark on laptop and instead of going to 'forum index' it keeps wanting to download a file. Tonight I've deleted bookmark and typed in address, which as you can see worked.
Any ideas?
