Located in the heart of Leominster, “The club is within a row of Grade II listed 18th century houses facing onto the square. It offers skittles, snooker, a lounge and bar and is associated with the local Conservative Association.” The local Conservatives? There’s nothing some old Tories like more than a bit of blood sport disguised as ‘tradition’, which could explain why the Rankin’s social media manager was clearly a little overcome (note that exclamation mark in the attached image) about the ‘North Herefordshire Hunt’ (NHH) being in town for Boxing Day 2024…though as Herefordshire Hunt Sabs helpfully pointed out “The Rankin Club are hosting the Herefordshire and Clifton Boxing Day meet in the Corn Square Leominster tomorrow. Note they can’t even get the name of the hunt right.” Indeed, the NHH merged with the North Ledbury in 2021 to become the Herefordshire Hunt, before merging in turn with the Clifton Hunt in 2022. Not like the Conservatives to be so out of date…
