West Yorkshire Hunt Saboteurs – Updates

Hello to you all again,

We've been busy recently, and have prepared this article to tell all our friends and supporters what we've been up too!

This Weekend we held our first "sab camp", We held it in a picturesque field in North Yorkshire (thank you for letting us use it Mr & Mrs S! It was lovely).

 The weekend was very educational, with workshops on our tactics and a legal workshop (police beware - we know our rights!), with lovely healthy vegan food included in the price of the weekend it was a bargain, and thanks to everyone chipping in with the work effort, everybody had a great time!

We also enjoyed many sessions of "Giant Jenga" to keep us entertained and a game of rounders to keep us fit!

 In the evening we also enjoyed some tunes from several artists (all sabs or sabs in training!) and enjoyed some world class sing along action around the campfire!

 Thanks to sally for bringing the giant Jenga, thanks to Liz for doing the cooking, secret Sue for the legal talk, "big H" for driving the shuttle bus and thanks to everybody who came and made the weekend such a success.

To make our weekend even better, We also managed to get our hands on the new land rover we've been trying to get!

Suzie the Sab Van (named after Sue T, who has donated lots of money to us regularly since day 1 - many thanks Sue!) is a beautiful machine, at the moment she only seats 6, but as soon as we have the money we're going to stick 2 bench seats in the back, bumping her up to 12!

She's in full working order, and she's already MOT'd and we've already got her taxed.

All we need now is money for insurance, fuel and to add the extra seats (we also owe a very nice man £20, as it was £20 over our budget in the end).

So once again I'm afraid we're going to have to ask for your help, but that's the nature of a donation run group!

If you want to see 6 more sabs out on Saturday, send us some money via our paypal, and if you want to see 12 more sabs out on Saturday, send us even more!

We're sorry that we seem to be always asking for money, but now we have our transport, once its insured we'll be able to go out and save lives, and thanks to the loan of some old digital cameras we should be able to start showing you some good news with pretty photos that make us look awesome!

Its inevitable that sabs will have to put hand in pocket for fuel, that happens nearly every year, but we can manage with that, so long as you kind lovely people help us out along the way.

We'd like to thank you all for everything you have done for us, you have shown that people are prepared to take and support Direct Action in the face of repressive laws and unfair policing.

Together we can save lives, and show the world that we're not prepared to sit back and watch as the hunts continue to destroy communities, kill animals and live above the law.

Thank you once more for all of your support,

West Yorkshire Hunt Sabs
