Publication: `Jacht- en Wildtafel` in Austerlitz
Wednesday 18 March 2009 - The `Jacht- en Wildtafel` of De Industrieele Groote Club (IGC), Dam 27 in Amsterdam has organised special events for her members and their special guests for many years now. This time the meeting was hosted by Forest Returns, my country estate company (bv since 1988) in Bosschuur d`Ouwe Kamp, Woudenbergseweg 41 in Austerlitz.
`Never change a winning formula (and a winning team either...)`.
For that reason Koos van der Wal, my associate,
co-supervisor of the `Hunting Table` of De Industrieele Groote Club, Consul of Forest Returns and hunting
mate and I organised a special event.
Location: our cosy
`bosherberg` in Austerlitz in the very green heart of Holland, surrounded by 2.500 hectares of country estates
and forests.
Koos and I welcomed a growing number of enthousiastic
people: dedicated members of De Industrieele Groote Club and their
special guests. We both presented some hunting stories, sometimes in
Hunters` Latin as well (smile). The impressive and breathtaking movie
`Jagdpassion` by Frans "Buller" Marcher was shown behind closed
doors. Sail to photoalbum to see some pictures.
The hunting music came from our regular team of hornplayers
`Betoeterd` under leadership of Reinout de Jong.
Thanks to Slagerij
Noordam in Austerlitz everybody was very happy with the special game
buffet in the `Consul Kamer` of our host Forest Returns. Fortunately `weidelijke
jagers` Koos van der Wal, Willem Verhagen and I had shot together some hares in Zeeland . You can see some pictures of this hunting
event in Philipsland/Zeeland in our photoalbum .
So our guests could
taste the real thing: pure meat from our own Dutch hunting fields. With
pleasure as we were told afterwards in the middle of that special
night. Surrounded by owls in the woods, hunting for mice. Never
a dull moment in Bosschuur d`Ouwe Kamp in Austerlitz...
