How does this comply with HO guidance which states there can be no day membership of approved clubs?

I'd imagine they're registered with the police as guest days and any non-cert holder has to be accompanied by a full member of the club. That's how my indoor club does it anyway

You can also apply for a Section 27 (I think, don't quote me) from the Home Office, where non FAC holders and non members can rock up and shoot with supervision.

Most clubs get allocated a number of guest days, we have 12. Then police are informed of our guest day calendar annually.

I believe 12 is the maximum number you can have.
P. the club does not have more than 12 guest days a year. Guest members, (other than members of another Approved club or visitors with a Firearm Certificate, Visitor's permit or Permit under Section 7 of the 1968 Firearms Act as above,) may only shoot during a guest day, and must be supervised on a one-to-one basis at all times when handling firearms and ammunition by either a full club member or someone who is a coach recognised by the governing bodies. The club secretary must notify each guest day to the police firearms licensing department of the area in which the guest day is to take place at least 48 hours in advance; (see notes 1 & 13)
