Many thanks all for the insight, very helpful for the most part As said in the original post, everything will be declared, a cover letter sounds like a good direction to support this. My regional FLD are not currently taking on new applications during the pandemic, but I’ll put some updates on here as and when things start moving. Cheers

Update Having looked again at the loft space, the gable wall is covered by chipboard. To be compliant with its energy rating I think. Would it be worth cutting it away, or alternatively pursuing the built in cupboard idea downstairs? Another thing worth mentioning, the entire downstairs is underfloor heated - so I can’t drill down into the floor anywhere downstairs.

Bodybuilding, at a regional level - no such regulations for the non federation comps

Lovely set up

Fair point! Bought with ease online thought a website, delivered to the door

Morning, I’m thinking about locations for a gun safe should I be granted SGC. The house is a new build with typical traits; stud walls & thermalite. option 1) In my dining room I’ve got a false wall consisting of floor to ceiling height cupboards, at the back of these cupboards is the plasterboard covered external wall. The integral shelving could be removed in one of these compartments to allow concealed fitment of a safe. option 2) there is the under stairs cupboard but this is kitted out well with a stacked washer and dryer, extractor, and my alarm control panel. Not worth messing with, it’s a good set up. option 3) board, light & ladder the loft and fix the safe to the end gable. Not that difficult, but possibly pointless if the false wall would be a better place? It would be great to get some discussion going, hear your thoughts and see your set ups? Especially those in new builds. Cheers

Unsure. The SGC application requires you to tick confirmation of no alcohol/drug abuse - I’m not sure what constitutes that. I think in most circumstances it wouldn’t be considered drug abuse, but I’ve had it show up on medical reports required for life insurance etc Non-prescribed. Legal for individual/personal use (as in my case) but not for distribution etc

Hi folks Following a few months of private 1-2-1 tuition and supervised group shoots on clays with my local club I’m looking to apply for SGC. A few years ago I had my GP run a blood test & follow up health check following a single cycle of anabolic steroids when competing. Given that I’ll declare this during the medical screening, despite the fact anabolics are legal for personal use I'm wondering if this test from 3 years ago is likely to result in a refusal? Everything else is in place, zero legal issues, convictions or cautions in my life. Good reference from my shooting coach & (aside from the above) no compliance issues on the application form. Interested to hear your thoughts. Cheers
