NEW STAFF FOR 2011/2012 SEASON
The Tedworth are delighted to welcome a new Whipper-In this season.
Jonathan Meyrick joins Huntsman Oliver Harding from the Beaufort where he was previously kennelman. We wish him a successful first season.
Who's Who in the Hunt
The Masters (MFHs) are in overall command of the hunt and their word is final in the field and in the kennels. They decide when and where hounds will meet, what coverts are to be drawn, and when hounds will go home. They are responsible for hounds showing the best possible sport under existing conditions; and they are responsible for the hounds, the staff, and the Field neither damaging nor annoying the landowners who make the sport possible.
The Huntsman controls the hounds, indicating to them by signals where he wishes them to draw for a 'fox' (the trail). The hounds work together as a pack with the Huntsman encouraging the tail hounds and steadying the lead hounds, and assist hounds to recover the line by use of a cast if necessary.
The Whippers-In assist the Huntsman in controlling hounds by turning them back to the Huntsman or by encouraging them forward as necessary. Also, they are used by the Huntsman as scouts. No one except the Huntsman gives orders to Whippers-In. No one except by request of the Huntsman or MFH should accompany them or attempt to assist them.
The Treasurer takes care of all of the hunt's finances and keeps the committee informed of the overall financial situation.
The Secretary assists the Field Master in his job of observing and reporting the behavior of the Field, particularly as it affects the landowners. Damaged fences should be reported to the Secretary. "Capping Fees" - (a set fee per hunt) must be paid to the Field Secretary before mounting.
The Committee help the Hunt Servants with all of their roles as well as being responsible for organisinig the wide variety of events throughout the year.
