New Year's Eve 2011

Unfortunately, yet again,  nature has conspired against us and we have had to cancel today's line.

Weather permitting we will try to hunt from Les Landed on Tuesday!

Happy New Year to all!

Wednesday 14th Dec

As part of truly horrendous week for the hunt, a night of stormy weather and a forecast of more rain to come, we have regretfully cancelled today's hunt.

Saturday 3rd December

Hunting cancelled after a lot of rain last night, ends a run of some 20 consecutive hunting days, so we shouldn't really complain! More news on next week's hunt soon.

Saturday 5th November

Forecast for tomorrow's hunt is OK, I think there might be a little light rain first thing which should die out as we get going. Check back here in the morning to see if we change our minds!

Saturday kill

Latest update on the kill - it keeps changing because there's always just one more bank we'd like to get in...! But we'be decided now and it will be near the Vineyards at St Mary. See you tomorrow!

Opening meet!

Ok, so a quick update, the kill will now be on the St Johns side of St Mary's garage. We are going east this year so no Col De la Rocque, but we have a few nice surprises for you!
For those of you intending to park at Devil's Hole, please remember the car rally is operating through there for most of the morning.

Saturday 1st October

Meet at Bigrel Farm by kind permission of Mr & Mrs D Clackett and the kill looks like it will be closer to Glencoe than Six Roads.
Don't forget the Drag Hunt AGM on Thursday night at Devil's Hole - looks like there might be an election so please come along and support. Supporter members are also entitled to vote, look forward to seeing you there!

Only expecting light rain so hunting will go ahead unless it becomes torrential!

Saturday line

Having trouble updating the main website so please bear with me! Details are very similar to least year, we will start near the old l'Auberge du Nord and finish on the north coast of St Mary. Non members are welcome, someone will take your details at the start - a new procedure for insurance purposes. As it is the first one of the season, it will be a steady pace and not too long.

BBQ Ride update

Rain expected on and off for a couple of hours, but the going is good and the rain is supposed to stop around 10 o'clock. So it might be a damp start!

Saturday 5th March

Just a reminder that this Saturday night is the end of season dinner at the Prince of Wales in Greve de Lecq where Warily has chosen an excellent menu based on this restaurant's superb reputation. We hope you will come and join us, one final celebration before we start our summer activities. Full details from Marilyn on 482705.
Also we are still planning to hold a fun ride on Saturday morning but we really need people to indicate whether they will attend - we don't want to be left standing on our own! Please either email the joint masters or send a text to 07797715455 - thank you!

Saturday hunting

Little bit of rain yesterday won't affect the going too much, not expecting a lot over night either. Ground on the north coast should be just about perfect. See you at Perry Farm!

Saturday line

Rain forecast for Thursday and a chance of rain on Friday but at this time of year I don't think it will affect us too much.
Got a first look at the line for Saturday today and it's going to a quiet start with a strong finish. The plough is moving very fast in this part of the world and hopefully there won't be too many changes for the weekend.

Keep March 3rd free in your diaries, we are planning an end of season dinner and will give you more details as when we can.

Hunting 12th Feb

Thanks to all of you who turned out yesterday at Roselands for possibly the last hunt for this season in the East of the island. Many thanks to the Le Gallais family for hosting, and what followed was one of the fastest hunts of the year.

This Saturday we hope to meet at Perry Farm St Mary for a trip back through St John and St Lawrence to finish near Kennels. Mark has promised us a whet at the kill! More details to come, but may be a lot of (optional) jumping!


We are also exploring the possibility of a cross country ride on March 5th but only if we get enough support. Please let us know if you are interested or want to know more.

Saturday 5th Feb

Hunting Saturday from Roselands St Saviour by kind invitation of the Le Gallais family. Usual 11am start and finishing near Maufant. A straight forward line, heading out towards Queens Valley and back towards St Martin's Church - bit of jumping on the way and weather looks good. See you there!

Saturdays Line from Bigrel Farm

Look forward to Saturdays line, weather forecast is good, ground is drying out nicely and the jumping looks to be great - line os not too long so should suit those who haven't got a fit horse. Just remember, don't fall off - it's the Hunt Ball in the evening and Champagne at the Hotel de France is not cheap!

May go out to St Ouen next week depending on how fast the planting is going..

Hunting is off today - ground just too wet I'm afraid.
