Over the last few months the Association has been working with Millcroft Vets to establish a reduction in Vet fees for any member of the HRA who chooses to use Millcroft Vets. Please see details on the advert below. Anyone wishing to use this service will need to have a membership card which they will need to present to the Vets when they visit. Membership Cards can be obtained from myself.

HRA members usually get access to reduced price tickets for Grasmere Sports. Last year they provided a number of books of tickets which i sold on their behalf. This year the system is slightly different as they have had to introduce new regulations following changes in the law regarding advance selling of tickets. As an exception they have agreed to provide me with a number of tickets which i have had to print off, all have a unique code attached so cannot be photocopied. Anyone wishing reduced price tickets must contact me on order to get these it will be on a first come first serve basis as i am not guaranteed to get additional tickets once they are sold. So the earlier people get them then if i need to request more they will have time to send these through to me. Adults will be £8.00 and Children will be £5. You will need to present these at the North Gate (which is where we normally enter) and you will need to have some sort of proof of identity with you (drivers licence perhaps).

Thanks Fiona

Some green water proofs were left on Shap trail field anyone missing these can you please contact Denis Pear

Thanks

Cold Fell Access.

The Cold Fell road will be closed at both ends next tuesday (22 July) and access can only be gained by travelling through either Wilton or Haile. If you are coming from the North and are not familiar with this route, turn left at the third roundabout in Egremont then immediately (20 yards) turn left again. It’s 3 miles up to the fell road through Wilton. When you get to the cattle grid turn left and you are nearly there.

 Whitehaven Area.

Please note following discussions with the South Lakes Area Trail Manager and given the weather forecast for Saturday a decision has been taken to move the trails back to a 5pm start for the Senior Hounds. The Trails will run in the same order as they as originally advertised but obviously later.

Senior Hounds – 5.00pm

Senior Maidens – 5.45pm

Dog Produce – 7.15pm

Open Pups – 7.45pm

Open Restricted – 8.15pm

Veterans – 8.45pm

The trail itself will not be as long as the normal Dubbs Lane Trail.

The HTA would like to thank all those who helped put on the Bitch Produce Trails yesterday, the land owners and the sponsors, Long and Smalls Car Sales and Garage, Thompson Plant Hire, Carol and Stanley Jackson and Cockermouth and Workington Area

Kipper who organised the trails at Gamelsby would like to thank all those who help to put the trails on. He along with Mark Bryden and Andy Horn sponsored the trails. The trails raised a total of £227 which will either go to the Parish hall or the Parish Church. Thank you to everyone who supported the trails by attending and all those who helped on the night.

Thanks Kipper
