Hawk Board Election – Results 2026

The result of the election for the 6 specialist members of the Board is as follows:

Mark Upton

Charlie Heap

Gordon Mellor

Gary Biddiss

Sara Skalman

Steve Smith

The new Board will begin at the meeting in October 2026 and will run for 4 years.

They should all be congratulated and thanked for being prepared to give up their time to ensure that falconry continues in the UK and that all bird of prey keepers are not burdened by unnecessary legislation.

Hawk Board particularly thank those who have stood as Specialist Board Members over the previous term and all those who stood for election. We thank you for your support and welcome your commitment to falconry by standing for what can be an extremely time consuming and difficult job.
