Island Life - August/September 2010

Huntsman Rick Dolphin, Anthony Blest MFH, Mark
Hankinson MFH, Malcolm Purcell MFH and Robin Cursham

Members and friends of the Isle of Wight Hunt gathered
at the Kennels in Gatcombe for the annual Puppy Show on
3rd July where mainland judges, Mark Hankinson MFH and
Robin Cursham, took on the challenge of deciding which
of the young foxhounds they felt had the best confirmation
and character of their breed. The Puppy Walkers were then
presented with their prizes before the guests headed to
the marquee on the lawn, an opportunity for friends, old
and new, to enjoy the sunshine and the fabulous tea party
provided yet again by Sandra Purcell and June Butchers.
