The Guild is growing and it has not happened without the support from -you - its members. It is this support that inspires more work and others to participate in the issues of the Guild. With this overwhelming response to the welfare for moles from those that care - we are moving even further forward to achieving standards and levels for mole control in the UK . On behalf of - not the Guild but the moles in the UK - a very big thank you!

The new Procter tunnel trap is now available - This trap has a thicker trap body then all other tunnel traps currently available, but still can be squeezed if required for that personal touch, 6.5 kg springs which are galvanised to protect from weather impact operate with sufficient force to provide a fatal blow combine with a slight modification to the mumble pins to provide for a better body strike. The trap loops are slightly square at the base to provide an equal strike across the base and again these may be adjusted if required These are available at £2-83p each + vat

Level one accredited members can receive a 10% discount and level 2 members will receive 15% discount

Many groups and organisations may offer what is referred to as accreditation which is considered as a type of quality assurance - The Guild cannot and will not -unlike other groups allow members to claim to be accredited under the title of membership to the Guild, as it would have no evidence of educational or practical skills of that member.

However the Guild is aware of the need in today's working environment of the requirement to have such skill acknowledged. Members may wish to have that education recognised and credited internally. This may be achieved in the form of a random test paper. Members will be required to complete a set of questions relating to moles and mole trap use. They will be given time to source any answers to better their skills and knowledge. Upon completion to the required standard a certificate will be awarded and that member may then display that endorsement. The level of the test is a basic knowledge with further learning and recognition to be made available later to progress this to a better and higher level should the member/s wish to proceed. For further information contact molecourse@aol.com

This is a FREE of charge service, you do not have to buy accreditation - -earn it!

Members who are accredited to the Guild may now apply for level 2. ! accreditation moves forward- click here

The demand for traditional solutions to modern problems has created the need for even molecatchers to fall into line with certain requirements. Those members who work for large organisations or local authorities may now be asked to produce a method statement or safe system of work. To many this may seem a little daunting as the need for risk assessments may have never been a consideration before. HELP IS AT HAND

The Guild have produced a small document explaining the requirements in relation to the risk assessment. It also includes a template that may be printed and filled in. This is available to accredited members of the Guild------------- email to molematters@aol.com warning this is a 10 page document

Lee is a supporter of the Guild of British Molecatchers and a keen trap collector

I am looking for any types of mole traps to add to my collection of British Traps. Duffus half barrel traps marked with DUFFUS & SONS, TINSLEY, FARMQUIP or A.FENN. Single catch loop traps with the name A.FENN. Any old or unusual types – ENTERPRISE, IMPASSABLE or CLIMAX. Traditional scissors type traps bearing names on the setter or trap – LANE, COLLINS, SIDEBOTHAM’s etc. Cast iron traps of any type. Also looking for any other types of old traps – gins, pole traps, vermin traps etc.

Outside work requires outside garments, tough and able to withstand the elements and a tried and tested garment ideal for mole catching has to be the Fishermens smock. These are available from www.canvas-factory.co.uk and are available in both round and V necks. Contact Jayne on 01803 832186 or email her at info@canvas-factory.co.uk

The smocks are available in various colours including yellow for those of us who work alone in remote places, many members already wear smocks

I have been wearing one since I started mole catching complete with guild logo, which I sew on myself. They are a great mole catching garment to wear.

The Canvas factory have also made a mole bag, available in brown it has a huge capacity that will hold 100 tunnel traps. Two large pockets - one inside the bag and one on the front provides for more carrying options. This is an exceptionally well produced product and as they are individually hand made they can be adapted to suit you.

Ideal for that more professional look when calling on both old and new clients -- pictures to follow

You can also have the logo embroidered onto the smocks by Ascot Promotions as in the photo on the news page above!

A window sticker is available free to every member, to get yours simply go to the members list and next to your name is your Guild number. Send a standard business size self stamped addressed envelope including your guild number to the membership secretary, it is that simple. For the address to send for yours e mail to k.toi@hotmail.co.uk head your e mail free members sticker

These full colour vinyl stickers are 450 mm long and 50 mm high, they are easily applied - simply peel off the backing and either spray water or dip in a bowl of water then place in position. The water allows re-positioning then use something like a credit card to squeegee out the excess water, being careful not to damage the sticker. Then leave to dry for a couple of hours.
