The Season of Good Will

The last meet before Christmas is always something special and this year was no different. Many, many people gathered to enjoy our hosts' hospitality and to watch more than 50 ride off to follow hounds as they tried to work out the trails.

The EKHwWS were graced with the hunting correspondent and photographer from Horse and Hound and we look forward to reading and seeing their view of the day in a forthcoming edition.

Christmas is a time for thanksgiving and giving and especial thanks go to our hosts, landowners, farmers and keepers without whose support and gift we would have no country.

A Very Merry Christmas to all of our readers - look forward to seeing you on Boxing Day.

The Stern

• Who travelled in the stern?
• Who saved The Gather's bacon with the loan of a camera following an equipment failure? Thank you.
