Yes it is, and FISA introduced the chainsaw refresher course, which had to be done every 5 years, we did one 3 years ago, 5 of us on it one trainer there and it was £208 each for a 4 hr refresher course and my gripe with this is they cant be arsed to send us a certificate, just imagine how much money could be made out of doing a driver refresher course every 5 years it would be tens of millions a year, !!!!

FISA have scrapped their chainsaw refresher courses.

I think with the state of driving in the UK refreshers would be a good thing. Get the idiots off the road and put the revenue into fixing potholes.

I was under the impression that Woodsure was a Government Scheme for wholesale firewood sellers to continue trading?

FISA are not Government and have no say in anything important really, just a private entity screwing money unnecessarily and unregulated out of hard working people.

Why would anyone want to put FISA registered on their invoices, pay a membership fee, then get hit with a bill of £1.70 a tonne, for what exactly?

Some people must be insane😂.

But you get a free of charge magazine every 3 month as well,😂 i have and will never have any intension of doing owt with FISA, some one once tried to talk me in to it several years ago and told me it would be to my advantage ? i think he was on a earner trying to sign people up, i hope you have read the other post i put on back to open space man, and i still aint got it and i have rang em about half a dozen times for certificate,

Donkey running on alkylate fuel will mean less methane coming out the exhaust though eh! Good on the old emissions front 🤠 (or back even) 🤣

Grudgingly filling in the Woodsure forms and just come across a few bits I dont like the sound of (clearly dont like most of it but these bits are worse) Cant get hold of them on the phone so thought others might know

 

What are point of sale fees?

• Please note: Point of sale fees will be invoiced separately annually once your application has been approved and an audit plan provided, if applicable.

• "

 

Also what might these add up to baring in mind we are down on the Devon Cornwall boarder.  "Note: Additional fees may be added to cover travelling expenses."

It'll be like the current BSL accreditation required to sell log / pellet to RHI claiming customers. 
 

Quarterly fee £7.50 I think, and then you pay a % for every ton. You sell. Quarterly return requires tonnage sales and auto calculates a price you have to pay for the privilege of selling your own product. 
 

Im binning BSL accreditation off. Not worth it.
