    I'm a blow in myself and only in the club a couple of years. This year I was voted in as Chairman, so it is different in each club regarding a position or joining clubs. I would not say all clubs prevent new members or blow ins having any say in the actions or direction of a club. My sons and I hunt vermin all summer with Larsen trap too, so maybe it made a good impression on our behalf to the local lads.
    A few senior members came to ask me help with training a dog which I did, so I wouldn't type cast all clubs being the same to blow ins

    your'e now an adopted countryman vinny

    I would like to take this opportunity to tank the man who loaned the Larsen trap to my sons and I.

    This year for the first time ever I didnt bother renewing any of my memberships. It was too much hassle and politics involved is just not worth it. I dont even shoot the pheasants, Im more of a fox person and they still keep hassling and threatening to kick me out if I dont pull my weight with the pen and feeders etc So goodluck to them, I went round all the lads on club grounds that keep sheep and asked them for permission to shoot fox on their land and didnt get a single refusal. Thats a nice 210euro for my back pocket this year.

    I don't blame you I had to do the same thing myself at home years ago.
    The only down side I can see is having no insurance if something happens.
    Maybe you have cover somewhere else. It it you don't maybe you should use some of the money you are saving and go to the IFA or someone and get some cover. Apart from that you will have great peace shooting now, you might even end up with more land to shoot over than your clubs did, many lads that I know who did same as you ended up with loads of new permissions. Any just a thought.
