The Worlds - PSNI Permission.

[Baltipal]

I'm a little concerned that I've heard nothing back from the Police in NI about my permission. Has anyone else on here not heard back yet or am I on my own?

[pollythedog]

I realise it is the opposite of what you are asking but both my lad and I now have our permissions.
We did have to "re-inform" them as they seemed to think some of our information was mssing, oddly both forms filled out exactly the same and double checked yet we both had a different extra bit of information to add, when done so though the paperwork came through within a week.
It did take about 2 months though from first posting to get the queries back.

My problem has been getting confirmation of entry to the comp, sent the cheque but had no official confrimation other than seeing the cheque has been cashed. Emailed several times with no reply. Just going to turn up and hope now.

Hope yours gets sorted soon.
cheers

Yes mate, a friend of mine who has received his permission also has had no confirmation yet, so it smacks a little of a 'leap of faith'!
May I ask how you knew to send a second application off, did you just do it on spec or did you contact the PSNI, if so how?

Got Mine :D:D

Darren Moore had to phone them up his got lost in the post they sent a new copy out to him

They sent out a form saying we had not supplied some information and to respond with the missing details. We did not send a second application just additional details to make the first one complete.
Sorry for the confusion.

Are you hotelling or camping when you get there?

Edit
just looked on the certificate of approval for a phone number but off course there isn't one!
just the address if it is of any use to you.

Camping of course, the only way to go!
I'm thinking I'll send another off just in case, I just haven't heard yet of anyone else not getting them within a couple of weeks.
I did the NEFTA Classic last weekend as a kind of dry run & it worked out very well.
We'll have to meet up & have a couple of beers over there. Assuming they let me in of course!

Look forward to it, I know I have shot at the same time as you (midlands winter league etc) but have no idea who you are! We'll be on the campsite and the beer ( Guiness...well it would be rude not too..) is the reason for going, the shooting is an added bonus!

I received a letter from the PSNI yesterday regarding my application and the fact they needed my GB certificate? I contacted them on the number on the form (02890650222), spoke to a gent and explained that my rifle was not a firearm, but an air rifle. He then explained that I did not have to send any certificate out and my details would be processed.
Personally, I would contact the number on this post and ask for an update for you temporary certificate. With regards to confirmation of entry, greg who's user name is ev00002 (I THINK), is the guy to contact. Hes been on here and the forum giving some details fot the comp.
Hope that helps,

Cheers mate, I considered PMing 0007ev but I bet he gets everyone doing that with one question or another about the Worlds & think his PM box must be pretty full. I was hoping he would pick up this Thread & respond actually but now I decided to re-send my application & see what happens.
Getting closer now isn't it? Can't wait.

You could try either giving them a ring or dropping them an email just to give them a wee push....

I had a nice lady from the PSNI call me at work, she was asking where we were staying when we were in Ireland as the information I gave did not show up on their search. I called Andrea at the guest house where we are staying to confirm the address, which I then forwarded on to the PSNI. It was exactly the same as I had put on the form in the first place, maybe they were just checking up on me, me being a bit of a rougue with a garage full of Leupolds:D.
Certificate came through 2 weeks after.

[berty177]

I received my certificate through the post today. Good service to be honest, Dorian Falconer only sent them through a couple of weeks ago. He sent both applications through together. Hopefully, what advice you wanted has been supplied.

[Neil Daniels]

Got mine today as well, sent application a couple of weeks back.
I thought it would take longer, but I've never been very good at thinking!

I've now got my permission, that's the good news.
The bad news is that something traumatic has happened to it on route & the very top part is damaged, do you think this would affect it's validity at all ?

As long as the certificate number is clearly visible it should be ok. They will have a copy so dont worry.

Cheers Neil. I've E-mailed them anyway, just in case.
Does anyone ACTUALLY know if they've entered this Competition, I haven't heard of any confirmations yet & the way my luck is running concerning this, I'll get over there to find I'm not entered, then get arrested for possessing a firearm without a good reason or an intact Cert of Approval !:eek:

Looks like we are going to have some fun :D:D:D

[Baltipal]

Well, I've had a very prompt reply to my mail concerning my damaged Cert of App. I am to return it with a covering letter for replacement, which we can only hope happens without further incident.
So, if anyone else out there has had a similar event befall them, I suggest they do the same.
I'm getting a feeling there are going to be some dramas come the actual competition!

[sniper-wolf]

You would think there would be a list of entrants somwhere which is updated at least weekly, a bit like we have on here for the NEFTA, Anglo's and the GPs.

[pollythedog]

My bank statement shows my entry cheque has been cashed, but thats all I know.
Oh well if nothing else it will be a break and a piss up.

Hi all, only just seen this thread. Anyone who has sent entry fee and form is confirmed as a competitor. l will be meeting with nifta on Tues and have requested a list which l will post on the forum. l understand they are having problems getting the website updated. Please feel free to pm me at any time with queries and l will try to find answers.
Thanks
