Charleymay Posted August 11, 2009 Report Share Posted August 11, 2009 Hi guys, Just wanted to say hi as I'm new to the forum. I'll give you a bit of background about myself and why I've decided to join this forum. I've been interested in fieldsports since I was nine (now 29). Growing up on a farm on the Cheshire/Derbyshire boarder I was introduced to shooting by my dad. I used to work for BASC, before joining the Countryside Alliance (please, don't all boo at once ;-)) last year. At BASC I spent just under two excellent years working in the Research Dept with John Harradine investigating everything from ballistics and shooting skills to environmental impacts of shooting and welfare issues associated with shooting. Not only did I get to immerse myself in some serious issues I got many shooting opportunities (thank you BASC)!! At the Alliance I carry out research across a range of areas from outdoor education and environmental stewardship to shooting and rural service issues, which underpins the Alliance policy work and campaigns. While I'm a bit more desk based now being in London, I try to get out to the Essex Shooting School (end of the central line and technically still in London) as much as possible to keep on top of my shooting skills. My main reason for joining this forum is to keep in the loop about whats happening on the ground. I look forward to picking up shooting tips and taking part in debates with the members of this forum. Happy shooting - the start of the season is only a day away!!! Charley May Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charleymay Posted August 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2009 No offence taken guys. Right I'm off to get myself a sandwich and walk around Kennington park - its weird but the park seems to be attracting quite a lot of woodies at the moment. I reckon they're all crack pigeons that manage to find the stashes of the friendly drug dealers that often bury little packages in places around the park!! ahahahah you have to love south London.
