Gundog Theft Awareness Week 2022
Gundog Theft Awareness Week –
From 31st October to 7th November 2022 is Gundog Theft Awareness week, and here at Fortiscorde we wanted to give you some useful tips, tools and other websites to help you expand your knowledge and awareness of gundog and pet theft.
This week, along with National Pet Theft Awareness Week in March, was started by Arnot Wilson and Richard Jordan in 2013. Gundog Theft Awareness – Home (pettheft.org.uk). Their goals are to:
- To prevent pet theft through awareness.
- To provide information to assist victims.
- To campaign for the reclassification of pet theft and tougher penalties to deter pet theft including custodial sentences.
- To get compulsory microchip scanning to encourage greater reunification of stolen and missing dogs with their owners.
Advice and tips:
Don’t leave dogs unattended anywhere, whether this be in a field or in a vehicle.
Ensure you have reliable and high standard kennel security around your property.
Review general security on cars and your home, i.e. locks on doors, windows and kennels.
Keep a copy of microchip identification numbers on your phone.
Don’t leave tools/ladders around or easily accessible, this can just make a thief’s job easier.
Other associations include:
Stolen and Missing Pet Alliance – SAMPA: About SAMPA – Stolen And Missing Pets Alliance.

Road Closure Notice – Diversion
STOURPORT BRIDGE CLOSURE
Stourport bridge is closed for 5 days from Monday 5th July 2021.
If this is your normal route – the best alternative is to cross the river at Bewdley and turn left left at the top of the town (by the church) along the switch-back (B4194 Ribbesford Road). This will bring you to the cross roads on the right side of the river. Straight over onto Pearl lane (signposted Shrawley).
Resurfacing works from Thursday 1st July for up to 5 days
******
Although the road works are still in place at teh junction of Larford lane – Larford Lane is open to traffic to access our Training grounds.

Resurfacing – Road closure (from Worcester side)
As can be seen from the map below – there is currently a short length of road closed on the B4196 heading from Worcester just before the junction of Larford Lane (Longmore Hill). If the road is closed you will need to turn right at Bull Hill and follow the lane. Follow the lane and then keep right at the small triangular junction (Signposted Larford). Follow this lane and you will then need to turn left (signposted Larford) . if there is a further road closure (It has access to frontages – business open as usual). Drive up through the road closure and carry on. Follow the lane all the way turning sharp left at Larford Lakes. If you encounter any other road closures, speak to the workmen and they know where our training ground is and they will let you through! 😊
We can only apologies for the long-way round but there is no other route and because it’s only a lane to residential properties, the diversion is not clearly sign posted. We’ve added a map to show you in essence the diversion. Please allow about a further 10 minutes to your journey.
