Colne Valley Beagles - Colne Valley Beagles – Second Half 2007/08 - (These are my thoughts and not an official statement)
I m writing this some four weeks after the Closing Meet of 2007/08, and three after the bonus By day courtesy of our friends at the Catterick Beagles. The uniform has been brushed down, pending a trip to the dry cleaners and tailors to sort out a repair or two to the jacket (Split lining in the sleeves) which isn t bad considering I ve been wearing it for seven years. (Not continuously obviously!) N.....

Colne Valley Beagles - First half 2007/08
Colne Valley Beagles Huntsman s Report First Half 2007/08 No sooner had we got the Puppy Show and the Hound Show out of the way then suddenly it seemed as if the season was already upon us .The first part of summer always drags a bit in kennels, with winding hounds down for their rest, while keeping them relatively fit and happy. The seven pups, the F litter all took their turns on couplings be.....
North Down Foxhounds -

Colne Valley Beagles - Summer 2007
Admittedly the first few weeks after the closing meet has been in my experience a slightly strange and surreal period, a letting out of a deep breath, a sense of loss for the season just gone, and the revisiting of some fond memories of good hound work, good companionship, good meets and those not so .When you feel you ought to be doing something, but can t quite put your finger on exactly wha.....
Colne Valley Beagles - Second Half of 2006/07
Second Half 06/07 The Christmas break came and went, and the first half of the 2006/07 season with it, was it really four months ago that I wrote my last Beagler report? It scarcely seems possible. The T and W litters had all more or less got the hang of this hound exercise business, with naturally one or two ups and downs along the way, and even last year s C s had a very promising start to.....
Colne Valley Beagles - Various meets
After what seemed like a very long summer break, with work parties galore, shows and puppies, as previously reported, the season 2006/2007 did eventually arrive. The weather never really altered an awful lot, and scenting conditions were generally as fair to good as in any season I can remember. The ongoing difficulties that our Masters have battled long and hard with over the years both pre.....
River View Harriers - Bustins, Reens Pike
A bright dry and crisp late January meet at Bustins, Reens Pike kicked off with a lawn meet at Sonnie and Mary Bustins, and Mary had obviously been up early as all present were watered and fed before hounds were unboxed at 11.10 am. The first draw was a short walk from the meet, drawing double ditches at the back of Corberts. No find by 11.40 am but then Primrose (a third season Old English Fox.....
