Is this unusual/bit off?

[Rully]

Just over a week ago I signed up for a hunt supporters club. I filled out all the details online and paid via paypal and received a receipt. I have heard nothing from them, not even an acknowledgement. Yesterday thinking this was a bit odd, I called the secretary, and it went straight to vml several times so I left a message. As I also had a couple of questions about their country/ meets as I am located on the edge of their territory, and not having heard from the sc chair, I called one of the secretaries and left a vml. Again I have heard nothing.

Is it just me thinking this a bit off? Unsure of what to do next. I have just bought a new hunter and was really excited for the coming season having not been able to go out properly for a few years and this has put a bit of a dampener on things.

On holiday perhaps ?

On holiday perhaps ?

Yep that's what I was thinking. Any other contacts on their website maybe? Otherwise we are in holiday season and schools about to go on hols so might explain it.

I thought of holiday as well; the other phone numbers on the website go straight to vml. The 2nd number I called did ring and I left a message. Just a bit disappointed to have heard nothing at all.

I'd give them a few more days Rully. Today was the Festival of Hunting so many packs and their staff have been manic busy preparing, travelling and showing hounds/competing horses. There may well be an events card winging its way to you or on a desk waiting to be posted.

The hunt supporters club are the ones who organise the fund raising You really need to talk to the secretary but I would think it's just because it is off season so not much going on atm. It does tend to be a bit tricky as a newbie because people are worried about information getting into the wrong hands - do you know anyone involved who could vouch for you?

These are voluntary posts, they might be busy with other things at the moment, or away on holiday.

 

[Rully]

Hopefully they have just been a bit busy with the Festival. And yes, I would have people who could vouch for me...if only I were contacted!

Yes this is a slightly mad time of year, there's a lot of people at the big county shows as well as the hound shows, plus general life and possible holidays I would say 3 weeks would be 'slightly miffed' stage at this time of year.

Yes it's a busy time of year and it's just drying and those who are farming and have hay/ silage to cut will be having a mad time. it's the hunt secretary you need to speak to about hunting have fun when you go out.

Which hunt are you trying to get hold of? Someone on here may be able to help?
