IN LIEU OF TIPS

Many readers will have been frustrated by the pandemicdriven cancellation of shooting last season, and Guns, keepers and beaters alike will be hoping for more certainty in the season ahead. The impracticalities of compensating individual keepers for tips foregone prompted me to send a donation to the Gamekeepers’ Welfare Trust, in support of its sterling work. This letter is to encourage other Field readers to delve deep for the trust, as a tangible sign of solidarity with a group of people to whom we owe so much. Tim Youngman Hadlow, Kent
