Have you tried contacting any of the keepers on the estates around about you? There is at least two that can be walked to from Worksop. Put a shirt and tie on and go and knock on the keepers door. You might just get lucky!

It's good to see a young lad making an effort to get experience,

 

Good luck with finding someone to give you a chance bud,

 

It might be worth having a look at "the national gamekeeper's" website???? here's the phone number 01833 660 869,

This is really good advice and it actually works! I did the very same a few weeks ago and visited a few local shoots/estates. One of the shoot owners/keepers passed my details on to another local syndicate who were actually looking for a keeper. I've had an interview and the syndicate chairman wants to meet me early next week to show me round the 6000 acre estate, so it's looking promising...
