davedavedave 69 Posted April 10, 2017 Report Share Posted April 10, 2017 Hi mate, are the pics of the feeders still available as I can't seem to load them even after logging into Photo Bucket. Cheers, Dave. Quote Link to post
philpot 4,971 Posted April 10, 2017 Report Share Posted April 10, 2017 Down my neck of the woods, the Firearms dept are saying that for a first time grant, it is approx 16 weeks and 14 weeks for a renewal. The true state of affairs is worse than that for a first time grant. One thing I want to tell you about is that a friend of ours is starting clay shooting again so sent off her paperwork and cheque, out of curiosity, she just phoned to get an idea of how things were doing after 10 weeks only to find that the paperwork had never got there so had to start again. With that in mind Mitch, give it a week and phone just to establish that they have it mate. Phil 1 Quote Link to post
