Guest detoldim Posted September 25, 2006 Report Share Posted September 25, 2006 Hello, my name is Michael de Toldi. I am a French waterfowler in Normandie near the city of Le Havre on the river Seine. I am 38 years old, I am married and have 4 children + 1 dog. With the authorization of the forum owner, I'd like to talk to you about the project I succeeded to achieve in France. Two years ago, I created a website in order to help sportsmen to meet and swap days of shooting/hunting. The website provide also weather forecasts for waterfowlers. Ducks movements in France depend a lot on the weather conditions. All features are of course completely FREE ! As hunting and shooting are highly attacked in France and also in the UK as far as I know, I feel that is important to help it in the way you can. This is my only aim in this project and I didn't count all hours spent to reach it ! Even if it is still young, the website seems to be a success. Since its creation, 39 swaps have been organized. I recently succeeded in the (very difficult for me) translation of my website because I said to myself that it could be also interesting for UK and Irish sportsmen. It is not 100% finished but I feel that, for a first step, it is enough to use the website. If my translation is not understandable (or to funny to be serious), please help me by proposing me something else. The address of the website is http://www.chassetroc.com ('chasse' means hunting/shooting and 'troc' means swap in French). There is also an alias named http://www.nemrod.eu for UK and Irish users. The name of the website is ChasseTroc but I thought that it wouldn' be a good name for English speakers. I therefore chosed Nemrod. Click on the UK & Ireland flags on the left of your screen and if you need further information, please don't hesitate ask me. I know a bit about hunting/shooting in UK and Ireland but I certainly made huge mistakes concerning all the ways available in your countries. Please, tell me what is wrong and how to correct things. Concerning the weather forecast, the tides, the sunset and the moon phases, I propose the French hunters/shooters to add all their places. If you want me to add new places in your countries, it is very easy for me: just tell me! I hope that such a website will also help you to meet and to discover other ways to live our passion. It can also become a way to get contacts in France if you want to discover how we do it here. Thanks to have read me until here! If you have any other idea to help me to provide this idea and its website, I would be very happy to read you. Michael de Toldi http://www.chassetroc.com Quote Link to post Share on other sites
