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 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...

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...

Has anyone heard of this whippet? I think based in the South of England - some time back. Thanks,

Bad weather in the Midlands with plenty of over night rain resulted in the Cancellation of the Game & Country Fair at Arbury HAll this weekend. The Main Ring was water logged and so the organisers agreed to Cancel the whole event and so the four rounds of whippet racing was abandoned. A big...

Hi All Just to inform all those that are interested and have raced at the Warwickshire & West Midlands Game Fair in past years. The new venue is Arbury Hall, near Coventry over the August Bank Holiday - racing morning and late afternoon on both Sunday & Monday. The track will be across the...

Thanks to all those who helped at Suffolk Dog Day 2012. The Suffolk Foundation Charity have stated that the final figure made on the day is very likely to exceed £50k. Our 200 plus trial money contributed to the pot, running all sorts of breeds. A couple of pic of the day are below.

Hi All Due to the very bad weather the Stanborough Blueberry Open at their Peter's Green track has been cancelled. :unsure: Thanks to Trish Bawden for her Phone calls and thank goodness for mobile phones. I was on my way when I got the call. I'm sure the Stanborough committee will keep us...

After the trip to Germany with Sue last year to collect Rishkin, we are about to collect an addition to our 'kennel'. Our new whippet is of quality german stock - we have gone for another small one, which is (I think) an interesting colour. :sweating: Not sure about the name we will use -...

Hi all Had an interesting Skype Conference call yesterday and it got me thinking. What do you think about a Skype Talk-in? It would save on the cost of the hire of the hall and travel costs. Plus you could eat your own food and log-off when you got fed up with the conversation.. Is this the...

Hi all I've got a chance of getting hold of some newish Imperial Scales - like those used by the WCRA when Peter Spokes was the Secretary, for weighing Whippets. Can anyone remember the possible problems (other than there were not very portable - in fact dam heavy to lift), when using these...

Hi all I've just been sent a link to a YouTube sequence hope you can gain access from this Rob :blink:

Analysing the data of which trap the winning dog came out of in the Finals is very interesting. :sweating: The data shows that the inside trap produced 3 winners, the 2 trap produced 3 winners also and the other two traps had a single winner each. So it is possible to state that the inside...

Analysing the data from the draw of the balls I can say that Paul Chappell got the draw as Random as can be considered possible. No owner drew their own colour more than would be expected and no bias was noted with the draw of a particular colour out first (or last). Below is the table of the...

The next Warwichshire and West Midlands Game Fair is scheduled to be during the last weekend of August 2011. The Whippet Racers have been invited back to demonstrate the sport across the main ring again, to a similar pattern to that used before, with one major change - because the date has been...
