Cheers Noel......... My hawking club meet was a great success. As you know, squirrel hawking in the UK is very rare so I was onto a winner before I started. I introduced the speech by talking about you guys over in Texas where my first ideas came from. I then went on to talk about Gary brewer & the introduction of squirrel hawking and squirrel chaps in the US. I passed around my own squirrel chaps to the crowd along with the instructions of how to make them..... I spent the next 20 minutes discussing the entering of my hawk on squirrels, the introduction of the grey squirrel in this country in the 1860's & my squirrel hawking stories..... It was a roaring success and I thank you guys for all the information and help you have given me..... Allan ;D
Congrats!!! Sounds like things went well indeed! ;D
