Full credit to SevenSixTwo for spotting this on Twitter.
Join this briefing to gain a full overview and refresher of the Home Office's Firearms Licensing guidance that was updated in June. We will also discuss good practice in firearms licensing procedure covering topics such as eCommerce and digitisation as well as integrating the National Decision Model into everyday working. We are joined by a panel of experts to learn how to build a transparent and efficient service.

The catch? It's £225 to attend...
I've pinged it at the Shooting Times, in the hope they'll send a reporter, and I know others have contacted BASC about it already. It would be absolutely excellent to find out what firearms licensing departments are really up to behind closed doors.

But would you find out? It just looks like a company setting up an event (of less than 4 hours) and charging a fair bit of money for it. It's not with the Home Office or anyone official as far as I can see and it doesn't say who will be there. Who are the panel of experts?
The value of it will depend who signs up for it and what they bring to the party. Might be excellent but might be of little value if not attended by the right people.

I asked around, and it seems Dods do cater to demand - but their events tend to be cosy chats among people who already know full well what's happening rather than useful or informative - or so my contact tells me.
Still, I hope the BSSC get someone along just in case ...

We're all TOO cynical to comment.
