10,000th Member
NGO recruits its 10,000th member
The National Gamekeepers' Organisation now has 10,000 members and is confirmed as Britain's fastest-growing field sports organisation, having reached the landmark figure in only its ninth year.
Owen Moodie (pictured), part-time keeper on an estate in Wiltshire, became the 4,083rd gamekeeper to join. The NGO also has 5,853 supporter members and 64 members in other categories, bringing the total membership above 10,000 for the first time.
Malcolm Fieldsend, the NGO's National Co-ordinator, said: "This is a great moment for the NGO, and especially for the handful of gamekeepers who set the organisation up in 1997. Our role as the representative body for gamekeeping is now well-established but the hard-work on behalf of all our members carries on."
