West Yorkshire Hunt Sabs - Its our birthday!

Sab News.

“Happy Birthday to us...happy birthday to us”...that's right folks, West Yorkshire Hunt Sabs is one year old!!! Our first year has had its share of drama and disappointments but also a huge amount of successful sabbing (we were out and about every week of the season bar one!). Big respect to the sab groups who've shared their experience, lent us cash and maps and been on the end of the phone.

We want to be here again, same time next year celebrating a run of no kill sabs, but our next season is already throwing out some challenges.

Three of our regular and dedicated, wonderful and committed Sabs are moving away. Thanks for all you've done guys. Our loss will be other group's gain as they will still be causing trouble countryside-stylee but it does leave some spaces in team West Yorkshire. If you have ever wanted to give sabbing a try, or have sabbed before and want to come back out, please get in touch. The summer is a great time to get involved as you can get to know the group without any pressure and see if it's for you.

Two of our hardest working fundraisers are suffering from long term ill health problems so we are also facing a loss to our 'putting fuel in the van, replacing the tyres, MOT funding' crew. Our bestest wishes for two super speedy recoverys - we can't cope without you! We would love to here from you if cake baking, craft making, street stalls etc are something you could get into. It would also be great if you are able to raise money independently for us - chuck a vegan BBQ for your mates, put a gig on, get sponsors to stop smoking...whatever floats your boat.

Finally, we'd like to thank all you amazing people who send us donations. We know that times are hard, and that there are 101 charities and good causes asking for your cash. We are honoured that you picked us and can promise we didn't waste a penny.

If anyone would like to keep up that old tradition of a tenner (or more!) in the birthday card, the details are on our website at:

We'd like to thank you all for the support we have had in our first year. We love you. The deer love you. The foxes love you. The bunnies and the hares love you. Mwah!
