strangford wildfowler Posted August 7, 2015 Report Share Posted August 7, 2015 (edited) Well an agreement has been made, in order to renew or get a certificate you will now be paying £98 instead of the supposedly £131 that was being lobbied for by the Department of justice. Also a variation has went up to £30 instead of the £89 the D.O.J wanted. Next year I will be applying for my first certificate under my own name, and with the pirces going up I hope that the system speeds up, if not I will be rather annoyed. Shooting as a sport is definitely getting dearer, well from my point of view anyway.

Big Al Posted August 7, 2015 Report Share Posted August 7, 2015 New charges are to come in Nov / Dec. Let's just say I'm hoping for December!! I've had an FAC here for 30 years. My first one cost £27 for 3 years.£9 per annum. The current one (30 years later) costs £50 for 5 years. £10 per annum. I'm not surprised they are putting it up. I'd rather they didn't but £20 per annum ain't extortionate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the enigma Posted August 8, 2015 Report Share Posted August 8, 2015 Let's hope they get their act together on processing side of things, there's about 3 months of a wait for variations at the minute. Good to see they sorted out the banded system at last. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
