BBC NewsA controversial trail hunting organisation has announced it's finishing its season early and is considering its longer-term future.
Atherstone Hunt has been running for more than 200 years and regularly holds events in Ibstock.
A statement has been posted on its Facebook page stating it was to "cease hunting activities" following a committee meeting on Monday.
Officials are looking into the possibility of an amalgamation or sharing of kennels.
The hunt involves a scent-infused cloth being dragged through the countryside. Hounds are then used to follow the trail with their noses.
The hunt regularly attracted the West Midlands Hunt Saboteurs who claimed foxes are being illegally killed.
In response to the announcement the saboteur group said it was a "victory".
Owl dies after chimney rescue in Southwellpublished at 15:47 British Summer Time 10 October 2019

BBC NewsA tawny owl died after falling down a chimney and becoming trapped in a log burner, the RSPCA has said.
The charity said one of its officers, Hayley Day (pictured), was sent to the address in Bath Lane, Southwell, on Sunday.
Ms Day said she could see the bird's legs poking down from the top of the log burner.
The animal was covered in soot, had a graze to his shoulder bone and was "clearly underweight".
Ms Day added: "The soot had also gone in his eyes causing bad irritation and he was quite underweight so I believe he may have been trapped for sometime. He probably got the graze on his shoulder as he tried to free himself.”
The owl was taken to an RSPCA wildlife centre in Nantwich but his condition did not improve.
He collapsed later that day and vets decided to put him to sleep to end his suffering.
Image source, RSPCAMs Day said: "I believe the owl may have nested at the top of the chimney.
"The householder who rents the property said the chimney was capped but sometimes birds can make their way through cracks so it is always worth having checks carried out to avoid these kind of sad situations."

Local Democracy ReporterPupils told Ofsted inspectors they didn’t feel safe and refused to use the toilets at a school rated inadequate.
Some year seven, eight and nine students at Countesthorpe Leysland Community College, in Leicestershire, said the poor state of the toilets, lack of privacy and vandalism meant they chose not to use them during the school day.
Inspectors also found vulnerable pupils were not safeguarded by staff, including governors, and that students felt bullying was "not well dealt with", although they praised the sixth form.
Image source, LDRSThe July inspection was the first since Countesthorpe College and Leysland High merged in 2016.
Their report rated it inadequate - the lowest possible score. Both schools were previously rated outstanding.
The school said: "We are obviously disappointed. We are implementing robust plans to mitigate the areas of concern within the report quickly and effectively."
A full refurbishment of the toilets is due to start "imminently".
