Relaxed, enjoyable and amusing: the hard work that went into the afternoon made it so and a huge "thank you" goes to all contributed. It would be difficult to name everyone whose efforts went into this as, inevitably, someone would be missed off the list - there are many ways in which people helped, some obvious, some less so. To you all "thank you."
Having said that no one would be named we thank the Judges, Major Tim Easby and William Hudson for their sterling efforts, and there has to be special thank you to Stephen and his team - hounds looked splendid.
The sun shone on the righteous and the atmosphere was welcoming, warm and friendly - in all it was a rather splendid way to celebrate not only the tolerance and efforts of the Puppy Walkers (whose gardens will have been restored just in time for their next charges) but also the fact that the East Kent Hunt with West Street has now embraced both its new and historic identities and looks forward to carrying on the great traditions of the country.
