Club Fees

[Sim G]

Quick question. If you have a look at the Home Office fees for firearms licences, what is the difference in “Club Variation A, B or C”?

Wow, I had not seen this.

Variation A: significant Government scrutiny and a police visit will be required, for
example new premises at which firearms will be stored or a significant
new area of business.

Variation B: some Government scrutiny and a police check but no visit, for
example a change to the named authority holder.

Variation C: an administrative change, such as a name change. This is different to
a change of the named authority holder where additional checks are
necessary.

Variation D: applicable to PMSCs only – the authorising of new guards, which
requires police checks. There is a charge for each new guard.

As far as I can tell all counties have a £200 dealer certificate renewal fee...on the link SimG posted it is £747.

I seem to remember there was an uproar about this back in 2019 and that the individual counties pay the difference or am I mistaken?

Just over £200 to change Club Secretary, nice. Guess I'll be doing it for a bit longer then.
