Saw this posted this morning. Just another attack on hunting. The bike trails have already ruined a lot of good hunting ground around the County and now they want more. Not that it stops them riding during the season anyways…
The LPAF&GC needs your help to keep one of our pheasant release sites!
Below are contacts for you to write a letter supporting the "Dump Site" as a pheasant release site as per our original agreement with the county and the bike club.
Jim Greenwood (President) gave a deputation to Norfolk Council, and mentioned that the Turkey Point Mountain Bike Club wants Council to close the dump site to hunting so that they can ride bikes there during those months as well even though they have several miles of other trails to ride on. The original agreement the Mountain Bike club had with Norfolk Council before they put their bike trails in, was that, "the trails would not be used by bikes during the Pheasant hunting season". Norfolk Council after pressure from the bike club now appear to be "leaning" towards letting the Mountain Bike club having the use of the site rather than us during the pheasant season, the Council (Chris van Passen) suggested they could look at letting us have another different site for pheasant release, but we stated that the other county sites already in use for the release are all of lesser quality and we don't need "another" lesser quality one.
Obviously our club does not want this change and the Club suggests that all the club members email or phone each and every one of the members of Norfolk Council members to object to this potential change, members should also mention it on any facebook or media sites you have.
The dump site is one of our best pheasant release/hunting sites. The more people who object to this potential change the better.
