Does anyone remember the Hadfield family racing Whippets? They had a successful bitch called Meg. If you are aware of them can you reply to this, please.

Hi Does anyone remember a family with the name Hadfield racing Whippets? They had a successful bitch with the name of Meg which ran. If you are aware of them can you reply to this.

I’m not old enough to confirm this but - In the beginning there were Whippets. The Kennel Club didn’t recognise the bred until the Whippet Club was formed around 1899 and the standard was set, before that they were all unregistered. My Grandfathers family had them, some were registered, some...

I think I understand QE 1 - The Association creases a scheme of double points for its competition. 2 - It sells the idea to the clubs in an attempt to boost the competition, but the clubs are not offered the double points. 3 - This reduces the value of a single point and hence the...

Hi I'd be happy to look after the back copies of Whippet Times. As I'm not sure my archive includes them all. If this is OK I'm sure we can organise getting them to me. Thanks,

What are the facts, Ray? WCRA 3rd Champs Moved from 30th Aug West Cornwall (not affiliated club) to 16th Aug Scottish Thistle OPEN (affiliated club)

As Ian is Co-opted onto the WCRA committee I assume this is an official change of date - although this is the first I've heard of it. I find it interesting that the date of the 3rd WCRA Champs has been moved from a day that clashed with a non-affiliated club's Open to now clash with an...

Interesting message Ray - but its over my head! I don't think the good people of Kent would like to be refereed to 'puppets' but it is interesting to think that you think I still have enough power over those who live south of 'The River'. Truth (I know it's always unpleasant) is - We (the...

I hope you don't think I'm picking on you Ian - but I do find your messages interesting. At the 4th Champs at Moreton it was made clear that this was the last - 5th October Garry's initial message only states about the Venue - so I assume that the 1st 2015 Champs will be April 2015 - and I...

Interesting - If Garry is not 'technically on the WCRA committee' as Registrar, I assume he doesn't get a vote at the committee meetings.

Contested on a neutral track in Kent over the weekend of the 27-28th September 2014. Run over 222 metres bends for whippets less than 45cm at the shoulder, scratch racing in pairs to a knockout principle. This event reached a conclusion with the County representatives from Surrey and Suffolk...

Wish I could be there - but no one will talk to me!

Sorry about getting the wrong result at the Champs, but if you don't tell me which dog its difficult to correct any error. Not even sure which Champs you are referring to. As only the 1st Champs is on the Official Web site. What I love about Whippet Racing is the very friendly way some people...

We are very sad to hear of the death of Alf. His very recognisable voice on the PA at Maidstone was a real part of Whippet Racing history. Our sincere condolences to Jill and her family. Philippa & Rob Rixon

We are very sorry to hear of the death of Ken. We remember the good times on the track that both Ken & Heather had with WCRCh Tinker's Moonshadow. Our condolences go to Heather and your family. Rob Rixon
