Membership Information

There remains one cardinal principle with regard to the spirit of Fox-hunting. If it is to retain its vigor, it must never become the privilege of any particular class. Like all other really good things it is either national or else it is nothing. If ever it presents the appearance of being based upon exclusiveness the whole fabric will dissolve. The proper preservation of Fox-hunting is a trust held by all parties to its direction, whether landowners, farmers, or subscribers, in order to provide the healthiest form of British sport for every one who can enjoy it, whether on foot or on horseback.
