Hi fellow shooters,
I've been following this thread and am a bit perplexed. Isn't
there a bit in the legislation that allows members of approved
Clubs to be in possession of Section 1 bits plus ammo WITHOUT
an FAC. I know it's supposed only to apply to miniature rifle
ranges but does the legislation as currently published
actually say that.

If you are on the premises of an approved club of which you are
a member engaged in club activities then you can possess a
rifle or muzzle-loading pistol and ammunition without holding
an FAC. Off those premises or any other kind of Section 1
firearm you have to have an FAC. This is in the club approval
criteria in Section 15 of the Firearms (Amendment) Act 1988 as
amended by the 1997 Act.
Miniature rifle ranges are totally exempt from the legislation
under Section 11 of the 1968 Act.
Steve.
