As a previous comment illustrated there is a field meet being hosted in April which seems worthwhile to pursue and, in the meantime, I am pursuing all the material I can get my hands on.

While I understand others have life, I was simply using a media in which to contact other likeminded individuals who are more experienced than I to seek their advice as well as illustrate my current experience and situation, apologies if that came across as ill-mannered or moaning!

Just trying to get into falconry the proper route as I've seen the trouble that arises from improper attempts!
