I need a new referee.

I was going to use the land owner as one of them, but apparently its not pro engouth. I dont really no anyone else who could act as my ref. I have one who is my tutor, but I just need one more.

 

 

Why do you need two anyway?

Mine were a friend who is a teacher and my Head Keeper.

 

You should be able to use anyone who is of reputable standing as a referee. Does this man hold an SGC?

 

As long as you know him well and vice versa you should be fine, unlike an SGC, there is no reference on the application as to who can be a referee. On an SGC form it asks for a Civil Servant, MP, Teacher etc, not so on an FAC form.

 

I think he should be fine, does he own a business?

i told him it. i said im sure he can use him but i would get someone else to do it instead of the guy who's farm your are going to be shooting over. not that it would matter if he is of good standing

 

i was going to do it with mine but i never as i didnt want it to look like he mite be doing it just so i can shoot there.

 

if he was a game keeper himself then i would of as in my eyes it would look a good reason then

He is not a Farmer, he just owns the land and it is like a small buisnes as he lets people keep horses there for a monthly fee.

If you are really stuck you could ask your doctor (but he will probably charge you)

 

But really any company director/owner or as said by SS a think the wording is "anyone of reputable standing" can be a referee

Was it your Local police authority that said this guy was no good as a referee

Landowner will be fine, they simply have to be of good character and to have known you personally for 2+ years.

 

Regarding doctors, they AREN'T fine unless they know you anyway, because they don't know you personally AND many charge. The form specifically states the reference must not be paid-for.

Only speaking from expierence my doctor did mine !!!

I think its back to the same old problem diffrent Police Authoritys (wrongly) interpret the F.A.C rules diffrently and end up making the own rules.

[Mr_Logic 5]

The main issue is charging for it. If you know your doctor reasonably well (or even vaguely!) then I guess it's OK. I don't even know my doctor's name, so for me to ask them would be a bit daft
