Busy stand at the Gamefair
Weston Park Gamefair
We would like to thank everyone who visited us at the Gamefair at Weston park on September17-18th.
We were located between The British Falconers Club and The Welsh Hawking Club; we had many visitors to our stand and Jess, Kev Parr’s female harris hawk was the star of the show.
There was a good number of falconry displays from Terry Large, Bryan Patterson, Jonathan Marshall to name but a few. There was never a dull moment in the arena which kept the area very busy and people flooding in to see us.
By attending the show we attracted several new members to the club in readiness for the new season.
Young Members are the future of Falconry
