Thank you for the kind words of support and encouragement guys, means a lot and I will pursue this as a result. Many thanks

3 years ago.

I went to a residential treatment centre for 6 months and became involved in the recovery community, came home and went and lived in a dry house for sometime andI did some volunteering in the field and did my NVQ in health and social care, got a job as a support worker and now I run a project. Quite a change in work but I love the work I do and work with people from all walks of life from landed gentry to people who have been homeless, addiction certainly doesn't discriminate. I would like to incorporate a traditional treatment centre with one that incorporates learning country skills in tthe future.

Ok that's great thanks for the help guys, I work closely (at work in the detox) with mental health nurses, a physciatrist and a social workerso hopefully some references from them will help my case, I have known them all for a number of years and the nurse that did my detox I now work along side with. My dad is due to have the FEO come out and visit him soon as he has moved house so maybe I will make sure that I am over at my dads when he comes by to have an informal chat with him.

Hi all, My current situation is that I am thinking about applying for my shotgun licence again. I have had some issues in the past that make me worry a bit. I am an ex gamekeeper and about 4 years ago I surrendered my licence as I had developed an addiction to a variety of substances. I went to residential treatment for 6 months and have remained clean and sober since. I now run a detox facility and help other people get their lives back on track. I am a country lad and really miss shooting, I have no criminal convictions but am fully aware that my past issues won't be looked on favourably when applying for a licence. I was wondering if anybody had any experience in a circumstance like this and wether it's worth putting in an application yet? Any help is greatly appreciated. AD 😃

Hi all, Im 22 years old and currently working towards my national diploma in countryside management - game & fish. Part of my qualification is being out on a work placement for 12 weeks between late may and october. Im based in warwickshire so preferably looking for any local shoots or estates that would like some help with the day to day duties. I have my own transport and a full clean driving license. I am willing to travel. However if accommodation on site is avaliable at an estate that is a long distance from my home i would be happy to consider that. Im hard working,motivated, keen to learn and passionate about the countryside and game and shoot management. All options in the field are definately being considered at the moment. Please drop me a PM me if you would possibly consider taking me on, i will work hard and be an asset to any team If you could only take me on for a few weeks please still let me know. Also If you also know of any shoots or estates in the warwickshire/worcestershire area that might consider me to help them during my work placement i would be extremly appreciative. Thank you for taking the time to read my post and i hope to hear from you soon. AD
