Introducing the new Regional Director for the Eastern region
Friday, 30 September 2011
Dear All, Now that I have started work as Regional Director for the East of England, I thought I had better tell you a bit about myself.
Firstly, I want to say what an honour it is to have been selected for this role with the CA. I have recently retired from farming with my brother in North Essex after about twenty years .
During that time I whipped in to the deBurgh and North Essex Bassets under John Humphrey and have been Master and Huntsman of both the West Lodge Harehounds (with Neil Curtis who many of you will remember) and the Granta harriers. Currently, I am amateur whipper-in to the Thurlow Hunt (sorry Chris, I may be a bit busy this winter!) I am a fairly inefficient shot but enjoy the occasion very much!
Obviously as the show season is now over, it will not be as easy to meet so many of you. However, I will be attending as many point-to-points as I am able to, so please if you see a lonely character standing on the CA stand, do come and introduce yourself and have a chat.
If any-one has an item they would like to be included on this mailing in the future , such as a hunt or shoot fund raising function please get in contact with Sarah Taylor ( sarah-taylor@countryside-alliance.org) or myself.
My contact details are listed above, so if any of you have something that you would like me to help with, please do not hesitate to contact me .
Whether you hunt or shoot, may I take this opportunity to wish you all a safe and successful season.
William Burton
Regional Director
