phaedra1106 Posted February 23, 2014 Report Share Posted February 23, 2014 (edited) Being talking to a mate of mine today he returned his shotgun certificate for a change of address 7 months ago and got it back on Friday . We moved last January (2013), got my SGC back about 2 weeks after the FEO's visit but my FAC took a couple of months as they decided to dispute the conditions for my section 1 shotgun & slug use (practical shotgun/target shotgun). The fact that those conditions were put on by themselves only a few months earlier made it almost unreal!. Fortunately my club reminded them that they'd had the exact same argument with them a couple of years ago and once again pointed them towards the relevant guidelines etc. (which is what they used when they put the conditions on in the first place!). Got it back eventually with the exact same conditions on it that it went in with. Typical Durham, no idea what they are doing and happy to waste valuable time and money on things that are either not required in the first place or just think (I use the word "think" very loosely here!) should be applied.

phaedra1106 Posted March 8, 2014 Report Share Posted March 8, 2014 Rang yesterday was told it's still with the supervisor for decision ,that's 5 weeks on the supervisors very big desk It must be an enormous desk!. My sons went in about 6-1/2 weeks before yours, they still haven't contacted his second referee or three of the four clubs we're members of. Looks like I'll have to ring them Monday as well.

phaedra1106 Posted March 10, 2014 Report Share Posted March 10, 2014 Sent an email this morning notifying them of a sale and asked what was happening with his application as it's now been 126 days. Got a phone call 2 mins ago about ................. an email I'd sent a month ago confirming we were members of a full bore club!. So, asked what was happening as it's been over 4 months, apparently it's with the manager, can I hang on, apparently it's with the review team and they haven't forgotten us. So basically no further forward than I was before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
