RossEM Posted May 31, 2015 Report Share Posted May 31, 2015 As above, does anybody else think it's no improvement? The one improvement is the exclusion of the 'professional person' stipulation to referee the paperwork (as if there's such thing as an amateur person.) I understand the need for public service cutbacks and so happily printed my forms from the TVP website, but call me old fashioned, I prefer the old form.

WelshMike Posted June 1, 2015 Report Share Posted June 1, 2015 I am inclined to disagree with you on this one. I think that if you are applying for a coterminous licence or renewal it is a whole lot easier with just one form. I also like the fact that you dont have the hassle of finding a referee (or two) from a certain profession. Just my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les*1066 Posted June 1, 2015 Report Share Posted June 1, 2015 (edited) I'm happy with the new forms. I did find a site where you could complete a PDF form and print it out, but I can't for the life of me find it again. OK - found it! The forms can be found via links within the text. https://www.cambs.police.uk/firearms/forms.asp Edited June 1, 2015 by Les*1066 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mossy835 Posted June 1, 2015 Report Share Posted June 1, 2015 the only good thing about it you dont have to have a ref of a professional person. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pork chop Posted June 1, 2015 Report Share Posted June 1, 2015 Did mine four weeks ago and found them much better,more importantly lets see if they keep their eight week turn round if forms are in before dead line ,which was twenty eight after receiving renewal forms Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So when do you recomend i re apply roughly, cheers all hh Get it in now mate.. Dyfed Powys took just over 4 months for my renewal. Once you have sent it recorded as robbiep says phone them up and confirm that they have received the application form, make a note of the date and who you spoke to . Depending on whether they are on the ball or not chase them up a couple of months before the expiry date to find out when you can expect a visit. Depending on the answer chase them as often as needed to get your ticket back before it expires. Fingers crossed it will be nice and qucik Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EMcC Posted June 2, 2015 Report Share Posted June 2, 2015 Do you still have to submit written authority for the ground that you shoot on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WelshMike Posted June 2, 2015 Report Share Posted June 2, 2015 Yes. I have an open ticket but still had to submit the written authority for one piece of ground. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EMcC Posted June 2, 2015 Report Share Posted June 2, 2015 That is always a nuisance for me, although I have had an open ticketr for over fifty years It is alway a pain going round the farms I shoot asking for bits of paper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with you mate. Some parts of the process seem ridiculous. I was told that there were no signs of deer on the piece of ground that I used for the written permission. I pointed out that I had an open licence and then gave them the dates, times and body weights of the 2 fallow bucks I had shot most recently. After this they were happy.
