Did you know?...
Forty-nine out of fifty people have never met a gamekeeper
The National Gamekeepers' Organisation Educational Trust has been set up to shed light on the role of Britain's gamekeepers, and to ensure quality in the way the whole countryside is managed - for everyone's benefit
Did you know?...

The Organisers of this competition would like to thank all the schools, teachers and children for all the hard work that they have put into their entries. If you are dissapointed we are sorry but don't give up on writing poetry or creating wonderful works of art, there can only be one winner of this competition but in reality you are all winners for taking part.
We would also like to thank the judges, Ian McMillan and Paul Hopkins, who have coped wonderfully well with this most difficult of tasks.

We will be adding/changing these selections in the coming weeks and as our webmaster is taking a break the next update will be in February so check back then.
