“Country sports play a vital part in making sure our countryside thrives and it was a great evening discussing some incredibly important topics, including best practice in habitat conservation, and wildlife & game management.
A huge thank you to everyone involved, especially Simon Grace, the Northern BASC team, and Lishman’s of Ilkley for some great pies . It’s events like these that really help strengthen our rural community.”
