EQUESTRIAN The Isle of Wight Foot Beagles’ opening meet of the 2012/2013 season was held at The White Lion, Arreton. About 40 people attended and the landlord Mr. Chris Coles very kindly provided a delicious punch. With permission from the Taylor family, trails had been laid over to Perreton and Redway and then east towards Stickworth Hall and Fulford. The followers had a grandstand view of the pack working their way across Gore Moor to Croucher’s Corner and beyond. The trail was difficult to follow as it was competing with the remains of a crop of elephant garlic which had been harvested earlier in the year. Th IW Foot Beagles usually meet on Saturdays throughout the winter. For further information contact the secretary on 01983 551415. www.visitislandlife.com 81
