And that’s a wrap. 2024/5 Season Ends
We (the field secretaries and I) would like to take this opportunity to thank you all for your support this season. It’s not been the most straightforward of seasons thanks to the weather gods but I hope you’ve all had some fun, either mounted or on foot.
We’d also like to thank our Masters and Hunt Staff who work tirelessly to make each trail hunting day happen and most importantly, our wonderful landowners and farmers who allow us over their ground.
We’d especially like to thank our loyal subscribers and to remind you to check the Yellow Book for the many benefits – such as Kimble Point to Point car passes and a discount on entry fees for the Team Chase.
Don’t forget we have loads going on over the summer - including Chiltern Rides, the Puppy Show and Clay Shoots.
Thank you again for your support
Laura, Alex, Laura-Jane, Connor, Theresa and Hanna
Leaving Party & Tumblers
We are organising a leaving collection for Jamie, Megan and Shaun who are leaving us at the end of this season. This is your chance to express your gratitude for their dedication and hard work over the time they have been with us. You can either donate via Mojo or give cash to the field secretaries at any event. If you would like to contribute, your generosity would be greatly appreciated.
Panto
Our annual hunt panto took place in mid-March to a packed-house. The audience enjoyed a home-cooked supper followed by a dazzling performance. The cast comprised our huntsman, treasurer and many subscribers. Our huge thanks to local farmer Bob Gregory for writing and directing the show.
Chiltern Rides
A guided ride through the beautiful chiltern hills starting at Cholsey Farm, Ibstone. The rides are in groups of 6, either create your own group or we can slot you in. Let us know what level of ride you’d like. Riding through woodland and open fields with some optional jumps.
