Chairman’s view .

The Chairmans view on current aspects of why the hounds are having problems .

Firstly- it is impossible to decipher exactly what is causing ” bad trails”. All we can do is to make sure that the correct procedure for trailing is adhered to.

If anybody wants to argue that  the current mixture used is to blame for the problem should have come to Ings , this is one of the most difficult trails ,especially the puppy trail and they acquitted themselves well.

The mixture – Aniseed from De Monchy , which has just been given a certificate of analysis, the only thing that might be of consequence is that aniseed should be stored in a COOL -DARK place.

Paraffin supplied as same as the other 6 areas.

Oil – 300 mls of engine oil added as per rule.

Woollen rags kept in qualified steep, drip – dried on the day.

Mixture made as in Rule 70.
