Will good afternoon/evening. Hope your're keeping well. It was just great to catch up with you at Fisher's. Hope you had a safe trip back to Antigua?

Stuart Aitchison of Lothian & Borders Police contacted me today and subsequently sent the email below. His email address is stuart.aitchison@lbp.pnn.police.uk Perhaps you can email him and keep me in the loop. I will fill your form in far as possible. Do you want it sent to Antigua??

With kind regards, C

Mr Hurn,

As discussed today, 04/07/06, Mr Rudd's shotgun certificate is due to expire on 12/10/2006. The records reflect you have his guns and this meets all necessary requirements. As a result I have sent to you an application form for Mr Rudd's renewal. The only problem I anticipate would be the need for someone to meet Mr Rudd personally. This would only take about half an hour but unfortunately I would not be allowed to fly to the Caribbean to complete the enquiry. Please pass on my email address to Mr Rudd and will be able to communicate with him direct and come to the best solution.

Many thanks for your help.
