The Vale of Lune Harriers and The Three Counties Bloodhounds

Saturday 3rd October 2009, 10.30am

By kind Invitation of Messers W Hewitt.

Despite the wind and occasional rain a very well attended meet, though not without incident. A broken stirrup leather would normally elicit plenty of sympathy, however most of that must be extended to our Treasurer, Becky Dowdall, who has fractured her wrist.

Heal soon, Becky.

Hound Amble, Catforth

By kind Invitation of Mr & Mrs P.Conway.

A very well attended and popular hound amble. Of course it takes effort to make an event of this size run so smoothly, so many thanks to all involved, especially Paul and Debbie Conway.

A few Flowers As Thank You

It was quite thrilling to see how many people had turned up at the Plough at Eaves to see the “horses and doggies” as one child was overheard to say. I’m sure that even Clive would have forgiven them for not calling them hounds. Thanks also to Mike and Doreen at the The Plough for putting on port and nibbles which were very welcome.

If you enjoyed the visit on the amble please support those who support us and visit them again. Mike and Dorren can be called on 01772 690233 to make your booking.

There were plenty of photographers in attendance at the amble, and we have now created a Catforth Gallery.

Farmers Dance, Arkholme

What a busy day!

By the time we’d boxed up, taken the horses home, groomed, fed and watered them and turned them out, there was just enough time to repeat the exercise for ourselves and set out for the Farmers Dance at Arkholme.

The village hall was packed with farmers, hunt members and hunt supporters.

Thanks to all the ladies who worked in the kitchen, and all hunt members who provided the puddings.

Clive at The Redwell

We have received some photos from John Vine from the meet at The Redwell and a photoshoot Kennels, both of which have now been added to the gallery.

Hopefully visitors to the site will have noticed that the website is currently undergoing some minor revisions.

The changes we are making should make it easier to navigate the page. We will be removing some of the direct links in the sidebar to the individual photo galleries. Don’t worry though, the photos will still be available in the photo gallery.

Some of the other changes make the website more accessible to viewers with disabilities by making the page structure more logical, and ensuring our continued compliance with World Wide Web standards. The VLH website is regularly checked to ensure it continues to meet the highest, Triple-A, standards for accessibility.

We are aware that the redesign is currently causing issues with legacy browsers such as Internet Explorer 6 and 7 that do not comply with W3C internet standards. If you use such a browser we are working on the problem, however for your own internet security it may be worth considering an upgrade to Internet Explorer 8. We do our best to test any changes to the site on a variety of browsers and operating systems.

If you are a registered with the website comments have been enabled and you can tell us what you think of the changes.
