AWARDS
*The CLA Game Fair Awards 2011
For articles written in the Daily Telegraph, I was named Countryside Writer of the Year (for non-specialist publications) at the 2011 Game Fair, held in the grounds of Blenheim Palace. My articles were about falconry in disbled schools, urban teenagers becoming rural gamekeepers, and people from non-farming backgrounds (Zimbabwean refugees, newly-released prisoners etc) going into agriculture.
