Robbing Swine!

[Vara]

Demand today for £25 to renew registration, when did that start? Thought they lasted for life.

I do hope it's not an EU measure, cos that will make me really cross.

Assume you're talking about the SSR.
AFAIK, it's always been valid for 5 years - and even then, only when there was no changes to ownership or craft details.

Doubt very much that it is.
But feel free to blame the EU anyway. It's fashionable these days.

Part 1 used to be for the lifetime of ownership. the only fee after the first application was for change of owner, for my previous boat it was £50.

It was then made every 5 years "To keep the data base up to date" . if you on the list then i would have assumed that there is nothing to change apart from where one lives.

Just call it Tax Collection

Thank you for your sympathetic and supportive replies.

It is indeed the SSR renewal. As someone with a dislike bordering on the phobic for spending money I cannot recall ever renewing registration.

would do without it but would lose my warrant, and red doesn't match my eyes!

I do sympathise - likewise I try not to spend more than I absolutely have to.
OTOH, it's only a fiver p/a for a document that will satisfy even the most officious gendarme.
A round of drinks at the bar - assuming that is a not entirely alien concept - will set you back much more.

You haven't been drinking with our Vara, have you?
