The NGO's new-look website has been designed to have a fresh, contemporary feel, to showcase gamekeepers as effective conservationists but without distracting from the essence of the profession. Already the website is proving popular with users, and with its high Google ranking is easy to find online. Bookmark it today on your PC.

Lindsay Waddell, the NGO's National Chairman, said: "Our new-look website, which you'll find at the same address as before, shows off all that's best about gamekeepers and gamekeeping. Despite slower broadband speeds in rural areas, the internet is still vital both for social and commercial reasons for many gamekeepers. The new website will pull keepers together, it'll keep us all better informed and enable us to respond more quickly to opportunities and threats to our profession. From now on, we are all just one click away from each other. See you online.'

He added: "The NGO website is for all members to use. We want it to become a tool of the gamekeeping community. There are literally hundreds of interrelated pages and rather than squander funds on editing, in line with current thinking that web users make the best editors, we've decided that the site should go live sooner rather than later. Should you find any mistakes in your visits, and there will be some, please let us know."
