Hounds met at Moyle’s Gate on Saturday 16th September 2023 in memory of our late Honorary Secretary, Mr David John Rees Ellis, a true gentleman and loyal and dedicated servant of The South Devon Hunt. The Meet was attended by many friend to the Hunt, old and new, as well as David’s family, including his wife, Anke, and their three grey hunters.
Those gathered heard wonderful memories of a wonderful man from his younger brother, a lifelong friend, and finally from our former Master and Huntsman, Mr Ian Pearse MH. Mr Joe Emmett MFH blew “Gone Away” and a glass was raised in David’s honour. Hounds hunted their trails brilliantly, before a good number of followers retired to David’s favourite pub for a full English breakfast and to reminisce.
A donation from the morning’s cap is to be made to the Hunt Servants’ Fund, a befitting tribute of a man always so supportive of our young Hunt Servants in Kennels.
