Our new Huntsman, Luke Chatfield arrived on 2nd April, joining us a month early from the usual 1st May changeover.

Luke spent seven seasons as 1st Whip under Mark Bycroft at The Old Surrey, Burstow and West Kent, then two seasons as Huntsman to The Sandhurst Drag Hunt and a season as Huntsman at The North Herford Hunt.

He is 27 years old. Luke and his partner, Charlotte (who will be our Stud Groom) and their 8 year old daughter, Lyla, are getting settled in and have great plans to get the kennels looking tip top with help from Lloyd.

I am sure members will join us in welcoming our new team and once restrictions are lifted we look forward to everybody meeting them properly.
