nominated him yet for the farmers weekly/CLA Game Fair Gamekeeper of the Year Award? Closing date for
nominations is Mar 23.
WE are seeking a gamekeeper who makes a positive contribution to the countryside – one who considers the implications for wildlife in every facet of the job while providing excellent sport for his or her employer. Cash prizes and a presentation at The CLA Game Fair at Woburn Abbey, Beds, await the top three keepers nominated. Full details appeared in Farmlife Feb 2. For a copy tel 020-8652 4929.
To nominate a gamekeeper for this prestigious award simply write and tell us about the keeper and the shoot, how he or she has contributed to its success and over what period, how his or her work has benefited non-game species and any details that make this keeper stand out.
Shortlisted candidates will be visited on site in May by the judges. Nominations should be sent to Gamekeeper of the Year Award, farmers weekly, Quadrant House, The Quadrant, Sutton, Surrey SM2 5AS by Mar 23.
