The end of another year is upon us, and for the vast majority its been a year we would rather forget. Many are now missing a loved one, gone before their time. One can only hope that the coming year see's the full role out of the vaccine and that hopefully our lives can return to normal.
There have been many changes, business closing, shoots cancelled and lock downs across the UK which has seriously affected many businesses and continues to do so. The venison industry has taken a serious knock back, but many stalkers, being adaptable people, have reverted to taking out a food licence and bringing their larders up to speck and selling their venison direct. This seems to be the way to go from now on, its about time we were given a decent price for all the effort and work we put in. Whether you are commercial or a hobby stalker its about time we were respected more and noted as suppliers of quality wild meat.
The pandemic has affected us all in some way or another, but looking forward to 2021 I would hope that the coming year gives us all back the freedom we have all taken for granted. Personally it has taken a monetary affect on me, but I have adapted and my diary is as full as ever, and I am looking forward to the coming year in the hope that things will improve.
The Stalking Directory site continues to go from strength to strength and is now in my opinion the premier stalking forum. The membership is now at over 24,000 and we have people from all over the world as members and continuing to join our ranks. My heart felt welcome to you all. The membership has created many firm friendships over the years, and on behalf of the Admin team/owners of the site, John, Alex and myself, thank you for your support, help and knowledge that has been shared and continues to be shared on the site.
On behalf of all three owners, I wish all of you a healthy, happy, prosperous new year. Thank you.
