Yep, same for my club..

Very similar to my clubs, their name address DoB, place of birth and previous address if they have been there less than 5 yrs goes off to the FLO for clearance, then they are invited down (if cleared).

They've filled out attendance paperwork and I've supervised them and coached them on a 1 to 1 for the day
Great safe fun had by all
Pre registration and notification of FLO is all unnecessary crap that just digs holes for us all to fall into

The club does not have more than twelve (12) guest days a year. Guest members must be either members of a recognised outside organisation or people who are known personally to at least one full member of that club.
•Guests 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 with a qualification recognised by the UK or National Sports Council. 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.

12. The ban on day or temporary membership is to stop casual shooters being able to come in off the street and shoot.. It should not be confused with properly organised guest days, competition shoots between clubs or events open to individuals who are not members of that club. An organised and notified guest day is required only for guest members who are neither members of another Approved club nor Firearm Certificate holders, Visitor’s Permit holders or holders of permits issued under section 7 of the 1968 Firearms Act.
13. Examples of recognised outside organisations whose members may be guest members of approved rifle and muzzle-loading pistol clubs are scouts and guides, schools, Rotary clubs and Women’s Institutes. The duty to notify the police of guest days is laid on the club secretary. This may be delegated to the appointed liaison officer.
