Cinegética Hunting Fair 

SCI President John McLaurin, SCI President-elect Jeff Meyerl, SCI CEO Laird Hamberlin, SCI EVP Mike Rogers, J. Alain Smith, and Raymie Grimm led SCI’s delegation to the four-day Cinegética hunting fair in Madrid, Spain. Last year, SCI and Cinegética signed a partnership agreement to unite our organizations to advance conservation and the hunting culture. 

The SCI Iberian Chapter had a very well attended booth with lots of amenities as a permanent “aperitivo”, book signings of SCI Iberian chapter hunters, a tapas cooking contest of game meat cookers and lots of “tertulias” (informal debates) on hunting adventures. All the members of the Europe Committee were invited to attend the Culminum Magister dinner, followed by the Europe Committee meeting the next day. The Iberian Chapter hosted their yearly gala dinner with 200 participants and a successful auction, raising more than 70,000 euros.
