When will the BWRA realise that scratch racing is on the increase and is a good promotion fcr the sport.   In my opinion a scratch dog regardless of how it is bred is a non ped. whippet or whippet/greyhound that has not made the criteria of non ped whippet racing.  This means it cannot run between the classes of 16-32 lbs so larger classes were made 36-40 lb no limit as a separate option to save owners having to get rid of a dog because it is too big.  This dog will be used to breed at a later date to produce more scratch dogs or more whippets but NONE WILL BE EXCLUDED, this again in my opinion creates a healthy gene pool.  MOLLY STAG TOP BROOD BITCH 2006 proves this.
When will certain people realise if they have a 36 lb dog under BWRA rules that happens to fit in a whippet trap then it should still be treated as a scratch dog and not as a whippet and the larger scratch dogs should  not be forced to fit into a whippet trap just to give this dog an advantage

Scratch racing might be on the increase but not in the No Limit on the bends it isn't. Just compare the number of entries for No Limit races on the bends with the number of entries for similar races on the straights. How many No Limit dogs was it for the last bend champs ? 2 ?

Straights and bends racing are different in a number of repects and one of the obvious ones is that straight races are run out of whippet traps. Now it would appear from the larger entries in straight racing that a significant number of No Limit dogs can actually fit in whippet traps so to say it's only 36lb that can fit in these traps isn't the case.

No doubt these No Limit dogs that race on the straights are just as useful for the gene pool. I can't actually think of any 7/8ths ghds that have contributed to the whippet gene pool though. I'm sorry but it's just not credible to say the intention of breeding 7/8ths ghd is to produce whippets.

If you want to find out why there is such antipathy towards No Limit dogs and why there are such low entries in bend No Limit races I think you need look no further than the use of ghd types in bend racing. Unsuprisingly the more voiciferous opponents of any change in the rules have a vested interest in the production and use of these ghd types.

My view is that there should be more weight splits for scratch racing and ghds should be allowed in the No Limit.

I'm suprised at how long it took before someone had read the small print in WN and discovered this little gem ( there's another in the small print) It's not as if it's the first time this has happened. We have proposals, AGMs, postal votes and reps meetings which all decide one thing then the committee go away and decide something else amongst themselves. It's not as if there's any accountability in a real sense either. Faces seem to magicaly appear on the top table without any input from the members.

The constitution needs changing to bring on long serving whippet racers onto the committee to vote on such matters without them needing to hold any particular office.

tony i was talking to mr charlie lister last night at nottingham greyhound stadium he asked me when you were going to start a club up were greyhounds could run with the non ped whippets.

i told him i would. try and find out for him when i asked him why he was interested he told me the travelling was getting to much for him now days and he thought it would be a good way to keep his dogs fit.

when i told him the prize money on offer for winning the weight class he was rubbing his hands together.

so look out tony for a new no limiter this year on the bends im not sure but i think he will call it the same as he does on the ngrc tracks nimbo jack.

the moral of this story is if you make stupid suggestions you will always get stupid answers.

greyhounds running with no ped whippets you make me laugh.

This is getting really silly now, and i know i am going to get criticized by some committee members for what i am about to say as i have been told to be quiet about it ...me quiet mmmmm :oops:

The BWRA committee are put in force to run and over see the racing for it members ...if one , ten or two hundred members ask a question concerning race meeting there question should be answered as promptly as possible if the question cannot be answered by one of the committee members then surly a few phone calls to the rest of the committee would solve the problem

I know the bwra committee said that they would not answer in k9, but i have seen a few of the committee using k9 on several occasions letting there members know about bwra business ie the latest AGM, BWRA web site updates etc

The matter on the use of the whippet traps at the next few BWRA bend meetings is a concern for all BWRA members that race the bends as all will need to know which rocket launcher (kick board) to bring , some of us are schooling and trailing whippets for the next BWRA Championships and some members have dogs that do not race from whippet traps

When on a committee you can only work along side your fellow committee members so racing is as enjoyable ,safe etc for your members, so come on please lets have some answers concerning this matter even if it is via the bwra web site latest news

This matter is now starting to cause another silly rift over scr whippets and greyhounds please have a little common sense and tell your members what your intentions are regarding the traps
