Carman06 Posted March 3, 2015 Report Share Posted March 3, 2015 I can't see how this would help as its only valid for one situation and the fact you have FAC or SGC means you have been through more stringent checks anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheekychappy Posted March 28, 2015 Report Share Posted March 28, 2015 Write a letter and print it off asking for permission listing what you shoot etc etc insurance make it short but list the facts someone will want to know not a boring war and peace, get out the yellow pages and send it to every farm and golf course in your area, all you need is to be lucky once and the rest will follow that is what we did a few years back and from that I got four golf courses and a couple of farms my mate did the same and got the other golf course and a few farms, I think I sent out 90 letters in all and only got the one reply but that is all you need, also address the golf courses to the green keeper as they are the ones you need to read it, as the secretary will just dump it Good luck just keep trying Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_b_wales Posted March 28, 2015 Report Share Posted March 28, 2015 I get a CRB (DBS) check every 3 years, and this has never been mentioned by my FEO, or have I mentioned it to land owners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B725 Posted March 28, 2015 Report Share Posted March 28, 2015 Having a CRB check does not mean you are not a criminal or a perv it just means you have not been caught Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WelshMike Posted March 30, 2015 Report Share Posted March 30, 2015 I wouldnt bother mate. They are only valid on the date that they are issued and I doubt most farmers would pay any interest to it as it is mostly the case of who you know that gets you onto land in the first place.
