More of Paul’s memories - page 2

There were 2 coot shoots each year: the main one was for distinguished visitors - King George VI, the Duke of Edinburgh and Prince Charles being among the guests at various times.

The second was for the tenants of Major Mills’s estate.

Paul describes the punts and the way they were used to drive the coots.
