the way this has been delt with Anne i doubt it would be the end of the world!!!!I think you all have to be careful, the WCRA might just say enough is enough and disband.
the facts are that people will not run with these dogs, so if it means we only club race and stick with the clubs that are standing by pedigree whippet racing, then so beit..
such a shame for the people that have put so much time into the WCRA.....if only DNA had been collected from the sire when asked (before he died) all this would have been resolved one way or the other by now!!
i really dont think us racers are to blame for all this :unsure:

What I find so hard to stomach is that people could believe a person they may have known and raced with for years would deliberately cheat, and then despite the accusations thrown at them go along to a champs meeting to 'cheat' infront of a very hostile and critical audience.
There were people at the Champs a few weeks back who would never have seen the dogs before that day, and almost certainly would not have been aware of the full facts, yet had made their decision anyway. This says more about those people than anything else.
I'd like to think that as there is as much heat on this subject that every club would make an effort to go along to the talk in, and then atleast have the full facts before they make any decisions.
Its much easier to go along with an angry mob calling for blood than to stop and look at the facts, which is all is being asked of racers.
The thing is Rae we have the facts. Everything the WCRA have on this matter, we know about. We certainly don't need another meeting which like the talk ins the committee will turn round and say, "well thank you for your input, we will take it into consideration, and do what we want anyway!" a vote isn't a vote - its only noted for consideration. That isn't good enough now. There is no need for the clubs to turn out over this one, they have made their feelings known by dropping the Superstars league. Nothing the WCRA can say will change the opinions.the way this has been delt with Anne i doubt it would be the end of the world!!!!I think you all have to be careful, the WCRA might just say enough is enough and disband.

Considering you don't even race, I think you are only hearing it from one side.the way this has been delt with Anne i doubt it would be the end of the world!!!!I think you all have to be careful, the WCRA might just say enough is enough and disband.

Excellent post Rae, i find all this 'back biting' head hunting' very hard to stomach.
YES, CHEERS PAUL :thumbsup:
I think that Nigel and Judy have done very well in keeping this debate reasonably civilised. A forum IS a place for disussion, and, within some very tight strictures, that is pretty much what is happening here. I have heard K9 criticised as being part of the problem of rumour mongering and gossip spreading but where I could I have tried to disavow that. At least here it is out in the open to anyone with a pc and an internet conection. Better than clandestine meetings of small groups of people up and down the land.I really think Nigel and Judy Booker should cancel this forum because all it's doing is causing more trouble , i thought this place is for a general discussion !
