The privilege of membership is through the achievement of shooting a right-and-left at woodcock before two witnesses. Note that a gun must not be lowered between shots.
As a member of the club you will be sent a certificate and a badge and an invitation to the annual dinner.
The 2017 Woodcock Club dinner was held on 22nd April at Crowcombe Court in Somerset. The date for the 2018 dinner is to be confirmed.
The annual event provides an opportunity for members to meet, exchange news and bid for the fantastic lots in the charity auction (in aid of the Game Conservancy Trust’s research into woodcock). Members will also be kept informed with a regular newsletter.
If you think you are eligible to join and would like an application form, or for more information, contact patrick.galbraith@futurenet.com
