Scully Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 Because I don't won't him to refuse it so i better get an answer instead of calling him I'm afraid I don't know but if it isn't possible it will be refused anyway, and not simply because you've asked. Ring the British Association of Shooting and Conservation on 01244 573 000 and explain your circumstances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon R Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 You can't be refused under any circumstances. There, you can put your mind to rest. Why bother asking the FEO / FLO when we can give you the assurance you crave? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dekers Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 If you are EU citizen and moved in the UK 5 months ago can you get a sgc Correct me if I'm wrong but do you not hold an EU Country SGC and a EFP as well? What is your issue, if you are now a UK resident you need to contact your region anyway! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oli Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 My feo gave me a leaflet the other day relating to this, apparently you can be refused an sgc under the following circumstances: - asking the same question in multiple posts on an Internet forums - not being prepared to ask your feo a question on the basis you may not like the answer - posting the same question in the same forum multiple times - are currently or having previously dated your cousin, aunt or uncle and see this as a reason to have them as a referee - thinking about dating your cousin in order to have them as a referee - thinking about marrying off your parents sister or brother in order to get a cousin to act as a referee - using broken English unnecessarily and extravagantly - repeating a sentence twice In a single post - repeating a sentence twice in a single *** - having been arrested but not charged for Assault 3 yrs ago and subsequently posting about it on said forum, tbh there are so many sgc holders with this one under their belt it should be a requirement these days Thank you Courtesy of a bottles of pino, some cider and a few gin and t's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
