Welcome
Covid-19 Update – 11th of September 2020
In light of the recent announcement by the Government, our view that hunting with the Hamilton Bloodhounds is an organised sport/outdoor activity operating within Covid-Secure Guidelines and thus able to continue, has been confirmed by The Hunting Office.
We have however determined that the field must be limited to thirty mounted followers. Huntsman and Whips will remain entirely separate throughout the day, as will the Quarry. Car and foot followers do not fall within the remit, but we ask that everyone respects the rules and guidance and endeavours to observe them at all times.
Please make sure you have read and understood the guidance for hunting in the present pandemic available on our ‘Meets’ Page, and that you have completed and submitted a Disclaimer.
Booking must be made to hamiltonbloodhoundssecretary@gmail.com
Priority for booking will be given to Members and Subscribers.
Only Members and Subscribers may attend without payment. If you are visiting then you must pay as soon as your booking is confirmed (The Hamilton Bloodhounds, TSB A/C No. 00126410 Sort Code: 30-93-22 – Please use your Surname and Meet location for the Reference). This is not refundable.
Welcome Info
The Hamilton Bloodhounds are a very sociable group. We pride ourselves on being very friendly and welcoming. Everybody is invited to join us! For us there is nothing more enjoyable than being out on our horses, and watching the Bloodhounds work – in some of the most beautiful countryside in Suffolk and North Essex.
New ‘quarry’ (runners) are always welcome, as are non-riding members – our ‘foot-followers’ – who come along to watch, support and enjoy the day. We also have a large number of social events every year, and everyone is welcome!
JOIN US
We’re a friendly group of like minded riders of all ages. New members are always welcome to join in, not just the hunting, but all the social activities that we do, from Hunt Balls, Rides, Quizz nights and more!
OCTOBER MEET LIST- Please remember to book on- we are still limiting it to 30 and members take priority so make sure you book in advance! Please also remember to sign a disclaimer before coming out with us - this can be found on our website. Look forward to seeing you all! 🤩
Unfortunately due to the weather forecast TOMORROWS MEET IS NOW POSTPONED! If you have booked and paid - and would like to move your place to another meet, or arrange a refund, then please email hamiltonbloodhoundssecretary@gmail.com Apologies for any inconvenience.
Sunday’s meet information- Please remember to book on, we will be limiting numbers to 30. Please note that this is an Early Morning training session, and is our first time at this location - so is likely to be a hack plus one ‘run’, and may not be as long as some of our Meets. The Hamilton Bloodhounds will meet at Bradfield St George on Sunday 27th of September - by kind permission of Mr and Mrs William Cardale. Hounds will be moving off at 8am sharp. Meet parking is at: West Lodge Felsham Road Bradfield St George Suffolk IP30 0DL The parking is in a paddock before the house drive. This is before you reach the house coming out of the village. Please DO NOT go up the house driveway! Park by the hedge please. Unfortunately there will be very little for foot/car followers to see - and they will need to stick to the main road. Please remember to bring Face Masks and Hand Gel for emergency use. And please clean up after yourselves at the end of the Meet. Finally - please ensure you have sent a completed Disclaimer to hamiltonbloodhoundssecretary@gmail.com (available on the website), and that you have paid via BACS - once your place is confirmed (using your name and the Meet location as the reference) to: The Hamilton Bloodhounds, Sort code: 30-93-22, Account: 00126410
Here’s a reminder of our upcoming Meets. Please email hamiltonbloodhoundssecretary@gmail.com if you would like to join us.
