Longthorne MD, James Stewart became a member of Les Compagnons De Saint-Hubert in Belgium on 27th May.   One of only two British fellows to join the brotherhood this year, James stood alongside BASC Chairman Peter Glenser during the ceremony which took place in the church of St-Hubert. 

James was accompanied by his wife and Marketing Director Elaine, and 'Prada' the springer who managed to contain her excitement for most of the ceremony!! 

Thank you 'Tom' for the nomination an honour indeed.

HISTORY:  In 1975, within the framework of the international cultural relations, the "Union St. Hubert, a Belgian hunters association and editor of "Chasse, Pêche, Environnement” (Hunting, Fishing, Environment), met with a French regional brotherhood "Les Compagnons de St. Hubert du Val de Loire " established since 1966 in Tours, which held its Annual Chapter in Mont Louis-sur-Loire. The goals of the Brotherhood were, improving Hunting practises and the  recognition of the quality of the hunter of the Loire Valley, but also the establishment of fraternal relations among their members.

Today, the Brotherhood counts more than 1100 members and is represented in most European countries.
