Monthly Club Meetings

Alan Gates

 Is giving us a talk/slideshow about his experiences of travelling & living with falconers througout the World!

"From my early days as a young boy flying my first male golden eagle above the wind batted cliffs of my home island of Jersey in the Channel Islands, I had always been in awe of the eagle masters of Central Asian history.

Three decades later I was to live and ride with the “berkutchi” in the Kyrgyz Tien Shan and Mongolian Altai mountains."
