They had a stand at the Falconry Fair but every time I visited it it was empty so didn't get to speak with anyone. They do not have a website and the contact information you gave me some time ago is now obselete.

Might end up having to join the BFC after all.

Best wishes.

Hi John, i was a founder member of the SHC many years ago, not sure how it stands at the moment, i"ll try and find out for you.. Pete.

[John Soulsby]

Thanks Pete

John, i am told they meet at the Black Horse, next door to the Falcon where it used to be.. Dont have any dates or times though, probably your best option is to ring the pub.. Pete.

Hi John,

When having such difficulty just contacting the club and finding out where it meets I would have doubts about the club?

Hope you get sorted one way or the other.

I agree, if you cannot find them through a forum of this kind I doubt if they will be worth attending. There very few members may be great people but they are obviously not interested in promoting the club.

I'm afraid that this year I may be "billy no mates"

See you as and when.

John.

I live in the Bridgnorth area and like Pete used to attend thier monthly meetings. From what I hear nowadays the club is still active but how many members actually fly and hunt thier hawks is questionable?
You must have plenty of active falconers/austringers living near you, I think you would have more luck with them or joining the Welsh/BFC.

There are some good lads around here but generally we fly alone, the nearest WHC is in England (Warrington way) so it is likely to be the BFC which is only forty minutes away. I've met them a couple of times now and they seem to be a decent crew.

Time will tell.

I did exactly the same thing - went to the stand twice and no one was there.

Carl, I was at the same meeting. The club meets so I understand on the 2nd Tuesday of each month at the Trotting Mare, is this not correct?
