[nathgoon 2]

not long to go , the excitement and antisipation is starting to build so i thought ill just ask who exactly is going on the 7th and what course , just to get a idea , oh and im going by the way

[nathgoon 2]

looks like its just me then

[kingkeeper21 2]

[olim 28]

got a place but its just too far away and not practical at the moment because i'm only 16.

wish i could go though.

what course are you doing and how old are you?

[borntoshoot 1]

Im going. doing first diploma in game and wlidlife managment.

Olim cant u get a place in halls of residence? thats what im doing because its a 2 hour drive down from me. im also 16.

[olim 28]

i was going to do the national diploma for the same thing, it's more of a 3 or 4 hour drive for me and about the same on the train,

i was also going to stay in the halls of residence but it costs a few grand per year which isnt practical at the moment like it would have been a few years ago.

 

I live in bishops stortford which is above london on the map so quite far and I probably would have to stay most weekends, but I may go in 2 years.

 

I hope you enjoy it as it looks great especially the shooting range and the trips

im doing game and wildlife management level 1 , its about 1 1/2 hours drive form were i am (west sussex ,cowdrey park) so its cheaper for me to get the bus rather than drive or stay in the halls , im 17 . the level 1 course is because my grades were shit so i work to get onto level 2 , im fortunate to be working with a keeper on cowdrey at the moment so ive been told that i dont have to go in the usual 3 days just 2 , so its allll goood
