Hills Bridge Beagles and Farmington Beagles Joint Meet at the Institute Farm

!!!!! Out of an abundance of caution and in accordance with VA regulations PARTICIPANTS SHOULD WEAR BLAZE ORANGE HATS AND/OR SAFETY VESTS while in the field !!!! John Paul has a few extra blaze vests you can borrow if needed

The Joint Masters of Hills Bridge and Farmington Beagles invite you to join them for a pre-season joint meet at the Institute Farm in Aldie Virginia.

The historic Institute Farm in Aldie, VA is also now home to the National Beagle and Bassett Club.

The original Institute Building and individual cabins* maintained by recognized packs are nestled within over 500 acres of rolling woods and fields where Beagle and Bassett enthusiasts have enjoyed fellowship and competition for over 100 years.

The Department of Game & Inland Fisheries requires anyone in the field during deer firearms season the wear Blaze Orange/Pink so please be familiar with the requirements: https://dwr.virginia.gov/hunting/regulations/general/#blaze-color

Remember the hounds step off promptly, so be sure to allow time so you will be ready to go when they are.

There will be a stirrup cup at 9:30 before the hounds step off at 10:00.

We will have a potluck tailgate picnic following the field sport. The Joint Masters will provide some pulled chicken, potato salad, and apple cider as the picnic's foundation. Please let us know you are coming so we have adequate picnic supplies and let us know what you are bringing to share.

Thanks,
The Joint Masters
