CLA recognises gamekeepers and riverkeepers at CLA Game FairThe CLA paid tribute to long serving gamekeepers and riverkeepers on July 23 at the CLA Game Fair at Ragley Hall near Alcester in Warwickshire.The 13 accolades were presented by the Marquess of Hertford and the CLA President, and there were four recipients from the South East. CLA President William Worsley said: "In areas where wildlife is abundant, where habitat is healthy and diverse and where nature truly is in balance, the one consistant factor is a good gamekeeper. We have chosen the longest-serving members of this distinguished profession to say a sincere thank you for looking after our natural environment. "Presenting these awards is one of the most pleasing jobs I do as CLA President." To qualify, the gamekeepers needed at least 40 years' service each on not more than five estates, while the riverkeepers had to have dedicated at least 25 years to looking after the same river system. Chris North received an award for 40 years' service to the gamekeeping profession. He was described as an "exceptional head keeper" by the Duke of Norfolk's Estate at Arundel, West Sussex. He said: "The main difference between me and many others is that for 40 years I've reared my own pheasants at Arundel. They fly just like a wild bird and are of exceptional quality." Meanwhile, Robin Tingley from Wantage in Oxfordshire was recognised for 40 years' service at Lockinge Farms. He said: "I started working on one of the estate dairy farms alongside my father in 1969, but my real talent was in gamekeeping. In a short space of time I became a beat keeper then I took on role of head keeper. This job requires a high degree of dedication," he added. Bob Wonham was recognised for over 42 years' dedication to gamekeeping. He works on the Avon Tyrrell estate in Hampshire. Bob said: "My very earliest memories are of releasing trapped deer with my father. It was a natural step to go into gamekeeping." |
