The PSNI now require the 30/40 form for club approval for variation or renewal of a firearms certificate be replaced with a 30/40(a) form which requires confirmation that each firearm has been used at least three times in the past 12 months.
It is the individuals responsibility to attend the club the required number of time per year to be able to log the use of each of the firearms and the disciplines that were shot with them in the attendance register.
Remember, if you don't use them you lose them.
