The Welsh Hawking Club was founded in South Wales in 1962 by a handful of Welsh sportsmen under the guidance of a Hungarian falconer of international fame, Lorant de Bastyai who became their first President. The W.H.C. was invited to attend the international field meetings of the Osterreichischer Falknerbund (Austria) and the Deutscher Falkenorden (Germany). As the club became internationally known more invitations soon followed. Members often returned with Goshawks on their fists, which were gifts from new friends, made at the meetings. It is now the second largest club in the Country with a membership in excess of 350 includmany from abroad who attend our field meetings.
