Hi Sue
Glad you liked the picture. :thumbsup:
I'm not from the Area so not sure about Roy Merryweather - but thought he was now involved with Slough Town FC
My idea for the race (in the picture) is that it might be the Inter-cub of 82 as a lot of EA members were there.
If it was RCh Sam's...
Yes the track is at Wokingham Town FC in Finchampton Road (near the railway)
Not there any more I looked on Google Maps and I think it is now a Pet@home.
Roy Merrryweather was the race Manager and Manager of the FC if I'm not mistaken.
I think the dog out of the 4 trap that got the flyer is...
Hi All
I know you like looking at my old photos - or you wouldn't be looking at these threads.

I think it is Roy Meek at the red car in the back ground.
Col Sam (named after the Chairman of Stanborough at that time) is one, Captain Cong is one of the others - but No Hot Rod or Red Rath in the picture
So whos the other dog?

She was Russettwood Pageant x Somerset Girl
18/20lbs brindle & White bitch
dob 16th Sep 1967
Now who is the...
I think this might be a bit more difficult.
Can you name this brindle and white racing bitch from yesteryear?
She has an important first to her achievements.
A bonus if you can name the blue youngster with her - but this dog was not as famous!
For those interested
Just found Poly's coursing record
Poly was a top pup in 69/70 so must have a dob of 1968.
Poly's g dam was Wisteria of Laguna so she was part Laguna
