Well we have moved into the area and at the end of last season saw them out and about a lot so figure we must be very local to their regular haunts!
My daughter was hunting with North Cotswolds last year but would like to try VWH as so local. She emailed the secretary enquiring but have heard nothing back.
Wondered if she might tag along with someone for the first time?! She's fine alone and will make friends I'm sure but I don't hunt and would feel happier if she had a friendly fact out there!
I would ring the Secretaries. You'll be able to have a proper conversation with them - they're a friendly pair! Most Hon Secs are not great on a computer, in my experience, and don't always pick up emails very quickly.
By ringing and speaking to them in person, they will also be able to check you out, as being a supporter and not an anti troll.
THe VWH country is huge - it goes from the borders at the top with the Cotswold, all the way down to the M4, running alongside the Beaufort.
I loved my days with them - they have a lot of space to go at, some fabulous country, very accessible jumps, and a friendly field.
