Over the years we have built a new kennel lodge to house hot bitches. Purchased and erected Dutch barn to house lorry and straw. Built extension to kennel yard, lower Kennel (Mr Tony White and Mr R Wilding). Numerous lawn mowers and strimmers. Replaced the hunt lorry. Replaced fencing, gates and doors at the kennels. Shared the cost of new incinderator. Fed and shod hunt horses. All this and more and look forward to helping the Seavington hunt for a very long time to come.
