Post by: Darren on July 26, 2011, 10:43:25 am

this is aimed at begginers out there really

Jack and I will be running workshops this winter and the itinery will be as follows

Meet and greet and cup of tea
an introduction to ferretting
care of ferrets
introduction to locators
introduction to longnetting
introduction to net making
making your own net
out to venue
setting your net
methods of despatch in and out of net
preparation of rabbit
longnetting in the field
recap of days events

£80 per person includes lunch field craft style no more than 4 people at a time.
These will always take place at places where I have recently been asked to remove rabbits so success is more or less guaranteed(we are proffessional rabbit controllers)

Venue PE34 4HB (Norfolk/Lincs)altho lift is available from the midlands to venue
