For Derbyshire you list the club next to the reason column for each firearm slot. They didn't require club secretary details for my renewal as it hasn't changed.

Thanks for that!
I have looked again and yes it has the option of club in the reason column.
I hate filling these forms out!
I have it all covered in the additional info letter I have included.
It would be better if they retained a separate box to fill in with club membership details then old numpties like me wouldn't miss it!

Make me a little bit uneasy tbh !
I always put F.L Dept.

I always hand mine in at the local station and ask them to send them internally.

I usually cut my forms into thin strips then sellotape them onto downloaded 30-06.

Then I send them to the local police station a section at a time from about 800 yards off and hope forensics can put it all back together.

It's not much slower than a standard renewal to be honest.

.... and sent recorded delivery

Which requires that you put your address on the outside on the back!

Police should use a PO Box for mail.

Superb! Best laugh I've had in ages!

Tony

Only if they visit you, I haven't seen an FEO for about 6-7 years and only then because i moved house and he wanted to see if i'd bolted the cabinets in or not
