I look forward to seeing you also, must update my whippet's passport and try to get across from Ireland earlier in the season for a practice. When do club races start up for the season?

I also have a young whippet who has raced well in Ireland but it's all handslipping here so he needs to learn about traps. I am wondering whether you are going to have any fun runs, trials, etc on the Sat for the non-passported whippets, or the ones who for any other reason aren't entered in the Open.

For people who don't stay overnight, what time should they arrive at Sun.?

I will probably stay Fri night with a friend at Cardonald, Glasgow. Travelling by trains, ferry, buses -- so would like p-mail from anyone who might offer me a lift to Kincardine from Glasgow or even Stranraer or any train station en-route from Stranraer onwards!

Well theres been lots of work done at the club, and the place is looking excellent, I will try and get some photos at the weekend.

We are getting a roller for the track, and then once the fencing is up we can get the first cut done :thumbsup: , and to all the racers down south that are coming up for the open feel free to bring your national flags with you - we have got Scottish flags and bunting for the event :thumbsup:

Heres a couple of pictures from last year to give you an idea of the track and facillities, but keep a look out for new ones over the next few weeks
