Gates

It is the duty of all members to ensure that all gates that have been opened are closed. Please thank any person who opens the gate and also if you are not able to do your "gate shutting duty", it is your responsibility to find a replacement.

Meets

It is discourteous to arrive late for the meet and a "Good Morning" to the masters is always appreciated, as is a "Thank You, Good Night" at the end of the day.

Meets can be cancelled or changed at short notice due to frost or saturated ground conditions etc. It is advisable to ring the Honorable Secretary on 10756 749647 before setting off. A recorded message with the latest information will be available from 8.00am the morning of the meet.

Headware

The correct colour of headware for gentlemen wearing the black coat is a dark green riding hat or dark green silk cover, if a bowler or top hat is not worn. Black caps are reserved for farmers and hunt officials. Ribbons on caps must not be worn as this custom is reserved for masters and hunt servants. Please take a look at the dress guide for further details.

Fences

If any damage to a fence is caused this must be reported to the Area Controller, Field Master or Honorable Secretary. We do ask that no more than three attempts be made at any one fence thus causing minimum damage to the land.

Visitors' caps

Visitors must pay their cap money to the Honorable Secretary or his assistant before hunting begins. Payment by cheque is preferable, in an envelope bearing your name, address and telephone number if possible.
Please arrange your visit with the Honorable Secretary at least one day before the meet.

Your cooperation in maintaining these traditions would be appreciated.
