fascinating absolutely fascinating
I read acts of parliament as a past time on the bog
and so obviously i goggled the Game Act 1831
up it comes
but also a good wiki article Game Act 1831 -
and THAT says that the game licence ended in 2007
but it was still needed for certain birds - woodsnipe
The acts seems to be money making for the govt - the acts are 1831 and 1860 and not health and safety
so I wd ring your local council and comply with what they say and of course get it in writing.
and away you go
