cap for Autumn Hunting

[L&M]

Does your hunt charge a cap for Autumn Hunting? Ours has recently introduced it and was just wondering if this is becoming the 'norm'?
Thanks

Ours does from 1st October onwards, normally £10 a time, if you subscribe then there would be no charge. Don't know what will happen this year as there is still a lot of harvesting goining on and we haven't started yet (would normally start mid August!)

Poor you (and poor farmers!) - we have been lucky and started at the end of Aug, but had several meets on foot due to bad weather.
I pay a compound subscription which includes cap for full hunting, and although don't begrudge extra cap for AH, hope it won't put people off coming out.

my local hunt won't let non-subscribers go out AH which is a real shame, I would be more than happy to pay a cap

 

[Springs]

That is a real shame, how are they going to get new people involved? That will be the real loss

I'm paying £15 to go this weekend as a non-subscriber and I think thats very reasonable. They've warned me that it won't be a long or fast hunt but thats exactly what I want for Daisy's first time because it won't be too much for her fitness wise and it shouldn't blow her mind. I'd happily pay that for a fun ride so I don't see why I shouldn't pay to hunt.

Our local one charges members £20, non members £25 for hound exercises (but you can only do 2 as a non member). £30 to become a member
I think it's then £45 for hunting proper or you can pay for 6 days, 12 days etc subscription

Same here, £25.00

Autumn Hunting is free for subscribers but otherwise charged at between £10-£25 depending on age and whether the person is a farmer over whose land we ride.

£10 for age 14 and over, £5 if under 14
