contrysports Posted August 14, 2014 Report Share Posted August 14, 2014 hi I've just received my new members package and it states anyone under 18 needs to be accompanied by a full member, i'm based in Tilney All saints but i won't be down often due to college commitments, i'll hopefully be driving by October so can share lifts if anyone is local and willing to go with me and show me around for my first season on the clubs marshes Thanks all and good luck for the season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kent Posted August 14, 2014 Report Share Posted August 14, 2014 Do these clubs not have a young shot section? I suspect any mentor might need approving with the club via CRB checks etc. Not a member just saying you might be better asking the secretary first Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ayano3 Posted August 14, 2014 Report Share Posted August 14, 2014 Do these clubs not have a young shot section? I suspect any mentor might need approving with the club via CRB checks etc. Not a member just saying you might be better asking the secretary first Holbeach & District Wildfowlers do have junior members. Its also part of the joining process that all new members (unless they can prove that they have the relevant experience) do a compulsory 6 flights with a full member before going it alone, many still do at least the first season being shown around. Some still come with me after 30 years . I am sure if the club had received countrysports application it would have been processed just the same as many others.

Does the club have a written policy on the younger members then? Things have changed so much now and not for the better IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ayano3 Posted August 15, 2014 Report Share Posted August 15, 2014 With not being a committee member any more I would not know the answer to that one. I know from my football management days how strict it is to comply. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
