NOTICES
Hunting Certificate
Anyone who is 14 years old or above by 1st Sep 2008 must take their hunting certificate if they wish to hunt without a mounted guardian during the open season. The certificate includes 1-2 rallies, ( one at camp) a written/oral test ( during camp) and accompanied days hunting. You must do a minimum of 3 days hunting. This enables us to assess your ability out hunting much easier. It is a very serious certificate and you will not be awarded it unless we are absolutely sure you understand it all. Only 7 members out of the 16 passed last time. If you would like to put your name down for the certificate please contact :
Lucy Reed on 01745 582421 or email Cefncronies@aol.com
