Just have the champs in Scotland and be done with it. As i understand it the SNP are miles ahead in the polls, Guess you will have your own Champs soon, under the new Scottish banner, good luck to you

At the end of the day, not everyone can be accomodated, it is a shame, a real shame, but hardly anyone want's us , that is the real dilemna......

Before i say what i am about to say i am not doing it to cause trouble just wondering if one rule applies for all ... but am i right in saying when Little Madam gave a positive test with the old nwrf they and all there racing dogs we under a ban too... The owners of Little madam decided to sell there racers on ...Sasparella was bought by Sharon and after lengthly discussions with the old nwrf Sharon had a couple of hundred pounds to pay in case sarsaparella won and was tested, which allowed the dog to run with the old nwrf at seaham champs (which i can add Sharon received her money back and gave to a reputable dog rescue )...during that time Worcester had a open on but would not allow Sharon to run sarsaparella because of its previous owners ban...If i am right this would mean anyone under a ban cannot run there dogs at Worcester in August due to there club rules...i could be wrong and i am sure someone will correct me :thumbsup:

Wouldn't have thought that rule applies Denise as it is a BWRA event and not a Worcester open Karen

 

[Paws123]

And i thought it was Worcester track rule the same as Devon ...nothing to do with who's running the event ..and the open sarsaparella was not allowed to run at was the old nwrf's yet was running with them at the time

 

[storm1]

IS WORCESTER STILL RUNNING WHIPPET RACING AT THERE CLUB

OR AS IT FOULDED???

 

[sharon whincop]

Your right dee I tried to run Nwrf, Bwra and an open run by someone else. But because Mo was banned then I couldn't run at anyone of them. What I was told was they were just hireing the track so the club rule stood. Anyone under a ban with anyone could not run. That was a few years ago so the rule could have now changed.

You could be wrong then,it must not be a Worcester rule

That’s a bit unfair the Scottish region already have a straight championships as does your region and that’s what they are regional championships all regions are allowed them I believe. What we are debating here is the national championships which have been debated in the past on here and yes I have put across my point of view which remains consistent to this day that all the members should be catered for north and south. I have no axe to grind with members in the south or anywhere else for that matter I just want to race at the Straight Championships at a central location which even in the past was not the case as we had members in Dingwall (in the north of Scotland about thirty miles north of Inverness) I just want the same chance as you. Why bring politics into it but to bring you up to date the Labour Party now have a slight lead in the polls so it looks like Scotland will remain part of the UK for a while yet. This is about racing and I for one would rather my dog win a title against the best dogs in it’s class and not a empty title because a dog was sitting in it’s house because the owner could not get there. I am sure a central tack could have taken the Straight Championships without the camping but good luck to the members of the Worcester club who have allowed their track to be used I am sure the racers who turn up on the day will appreciate your efforts.

 

[Paws123]

No not wrong i remember Not Now Rosie been under a ban though the old nwrf and turning up to run at a Worcester open (think it was there weekend event ) and not been allowed to run because it was banned off the old fed and it was there club rules

 

[rodders]

Looks like this thread,if allowed to will turn into the same old argument that we read on here all the time. was told by someone recently that all they wanted to do was get on with running there dog.I thought that was what whippet racing was all about Karen

 

[Paws123]

Yes good answer Karen positive thinking on your behalf... but i am sure Sharon and others only wanted the same ( all they wanted to do was get on with running there dog) but as many has stated rules are rules ...and would hate anyone to feel as if they have been alienated in the past.

One more thing i must add Sharon paid a lot of money for sarsaparella she was a flying machine then when the Batson's had her and never lost a yard while racing for Sharon (dont think you were around the none ped scene at the time)...but the year she was unable to participate at the open held at Worcester (back end of the year) she was at the top of the top ten and only lost by a few points....not saying she would of won that open but who's to know

Anyway not wanting to cause any ill feeling just wondered thats all

Thats all we want is to run our dogs/dog (now the older 2 have retired) and have a chance to win

We will try and get to the Champs this year with Gizmo as the track is great, but its down to money for us and keeping Gary happy (no caravan to play in as Rachel likes to watch the racing ). I won't tow a caravan that far south . but will book us all in to a static, like we did when we went to Devon. Im not slatting the BWRA, but I was asked by a few member's to put Kirkcaldy up for the Champs. I think we did put our track up for the champs.but in my opionion our track is too far North. We could cater for the weekend but we had no entertainment (Trophy winners/ sup ) unless we went to the local pub :- "

The M6 always has road works, and thats why we went to Devon from 10pm till we got their....BLoody Road Works :rant: :rant:

 

[rodders]

Susan came up to Kircaldy for the first time last year and had a lovely time :thumbsup: It seems to me on reading this topic that the Scottish always get the raw end of the deal Could it not be proposed at the next AGM to move the champs up and down the country each year,so that all get a chance of running in the event.Maybe this as already happened in the past,I don't know?but it seems the logical thing to do Karen

 

[mutley]

if the bwra dont get a permanent track that would be a good solution fair all round

 

[sharon whincop]

Think thats the way foward. Makes it fair on everyone to move it around. Atleast till a place can be found central that can take caravans. Dosn't matter were it is someone will have to travel. Just had a look at a travellodge in the area. and its fully booked already for that weekend. Didn't want to risk paying for a site couse with my luck I'll have nothing to run.
