Welcome
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!
There are 9 spaces left on this Sunday’s ride (details below). These spaces are now open to non-members. Please email if you would like to book a space. We will be having a Summer Ride (no hounds) on August 16th - at Thorington Hall Farm, IP17 3QP. By kind permission of Francis Winter. The ride will be LEAVING OFF at 9.30 am- and will be a 5 mile ride on lovely grass margins. It will be £20 per person (£10 Members). This will be a Group Ride, but we do need to limit the number of attendees to 30 - so spaces will be offered to Members first. Members will need to email hamiltonbloodhoundssecretary@gmail.com by 5pm on August 9th, and then if there are any spaces left we will offer the remaining spaces on a 'first come first served' basis - to non Members. As with all of our rides in the current climate - you will need to maintain social distancing at all times, and there will be no refreshments or facilities. We also kindly request that payment be made in advance by BACS to: Hamilton Bloodhounds Sort Code - 30-93-22 Account Number - 00126410

I'm afraid that we are unable to have a ride this Sunday (August 9th), but there will be a ride next Sunday (August 16th) - and details will be confirmed as soon as possible. We have also taken the sad decision to postpone our Open Day (which was due to be on August 30th), however - James Chadwick (our Master Huntsman) would like to welcome anybody (in groups of up to 6) to visit the Kennels, and meet him and the Hounds - by prior arrangement with him on 01728 747267 or 07754353228. Unfortunately no food or drinks will be available, and Social Distancing and hand hygiene (alcohol gel) will be essential - but you will be very welcome! We have also taken the decision to cancel this year's Reel Ball (which was due to be on September 26th). These decisions have been taken due to the Covid-19 pandemic, and that we feel these two events could potentially increase any risk to our Members and Supporters - and that's a risk that we aren't prepared to take. We are very grateful to you all for the support you continue to give us - and we very much look forward to being able to hold 'Social' events again - once it is safe to do so.
