Dear Hunt Supporter,

You will no doubt be aware that the Hunting Act, which came into effect on 18th February 2005, bans hunting a wild mammal with a dog, unless the hunting is exempt.  The Countryside Alliance and the Council of Hunting Associations have a clear strategy to repeal the Act through legal challenges and demonstrating that the Act is flawed, ineffective and unworkable.

Presently it is difficult to forecast how long the challenges will take, but in the meantime, The Banwen Miners Hunt intends to continue with legal activities for our hounds and followers.  The type of activities envisaged include exercising hounds and cross country rides.  It is intended that these shall be fun activities enjoyable for all members of the family.

We also intend to continue our fallen stock service and to be available to respond to fox predation problems through our call-out service, legally using two hounds, backed by a gun.  We face a challenging period that will require your understanding and support to enable us to see off this unjust law.

Throughout our Fifty Years of History we have had tremendous support from all our subscribers, supporters, landowners and farmers.  Please continue to support us.
