Ball climaxes great year
The first IW Farmers’ Bloodhound Ball,
held at Cowes Yacht Haven, proved a
huge success, with 180 sitting down to
an excellent three-course meal, and a
further 30 arriving for the after-dinner
entertainment provided by local band
Cornerstone.
The dinner was the climax to a highly
successful year for the IW Farmers’
Bloodhounds. Guests were met and
greeted by Joint Masters Asa Wingate
and Roger Broomfield, and Amateur
Whip Nick Ward was Master of
Ceremonies for the evening. The raffle
prizes included one year’s free hunting
with the IW Farmers’ Bloodhounds
and a pair of hunting whips.
Asa made a speech at the function,
thanking all the local landowners
and farmers for their kindness
and co-operation in allowing the
Bloodhounds to hunt across their land.
