It’s self explanatory I’d have thought...
Yes, you'd think so, however the key words are 'may' and 'expected', it is not 'must'.
Shoot once a year and the club doesn't have to inform on you, come renewal and you only have 5 range days to your record you'll be asked if you really want those firearms.
If for whatever reason you couldn't use one or more of your firearms for a year or more of for '3 time a year' as long as you have a reasonable excuse then all will be fine. If you just want to own for the sake of owning you'll be gun-less in quick time, or get a collector's ticket and be done with it.

There is no such thing as a collectors ticket, firearms can be held on an FAC with conditions that define their purpose to be held as part of a collection and whatever else has been agreed in regards its/their possession.

That is what I mean, get a collector condition (held as part of a collection) on your FAC and then you don't have to fire them regularly.

I know at my club there are quite a few people with, shall we say, large collections! They would struggle to shoot them all 3 times a year, would almost turn into a full time job shooting, cleaning, reloading, driving back and forth...

What you use and how often is your concern as long as you fill in the attendance sheet for each visit.
(However, the Secretary does inform Plod of those members not attending during the year and those that haven't renewed their membership fees in a timely manner!!)
This is how it should be ^^^
