[BlackHawke]

wherabouts in suffolk are you?

[StaceyW]

Im in Ipswich!

[BlackHawke]

well the welsh hawking club meet in colchester the second tue every month. me n the wife go every month. they are a good bunch always willing to help

[StaceyW]

dp we have to be members and have a bird 1st? I have no idea how these work? Colchester is only 25 minutes from were we are - my husbands family are from Wivenhoe and Colchester so we know it fairly well. Were are the meetings and would we be able to go to the next one?

[BlackHawke]

no you dont have to have a bird or join up straight away, just go along have a chat n a drink. i hadnt built me aviary or anything when i first started going, had a couple of the guys come out n give me a few pointers when i started building me aviary they were a great help.

they meet in the whalebone in fingringhoe 8-8.30 u cant really miss us we stand out a bit!

we used to live in wivenhoe a couple of years ago the top end by the football ground that was my first permission i got to fly me bird

[BlackHawke]

next meeting this coming tuesday

[StaceyW]

i will ask the hubbie if we can come and have a chat next time then!! In a pub, even better!! I don't know Wivenhoe all that well, Im orginally from the Manningtree area and my parents are still there which is excellent for babysitting while we go. It is nice to know that there are clubs nearby! Are there any people closer who would be prepeard to mentor? Once i have passed my driving test (which is next month- not feeling hopeful) traveling wont be such a problem.

[BlackHawke]

i wouldnt know if anyone would be prepared to mentor you,its only a small group but there are plenty willing to offer advice

[StaceyW]

If our car back from the garage will come, if not will be at the next! Thank you very much, you have been very helpful

[BlackHawke]

if you are ever around the norwich area you are welcome to come out and see our birds hunt and hopefully catch some quarry just a shame you are a little to far away anyway the offer is there if you ever want to
