If you know where your nearest whippet racing club is and when they run, just turn up and take a look at what goes on and it won't be long before someone takes you under their wing and begins to show you the ropes. All clubs are glad of new members and welcome newcomers to the sport/hobby, if you're not sure about where your nearest club will be, just post where you are located and im sure someone will inform you. Dont be nervous we're really not a bad bunch :thumbsup: You may get asked lots of questions but dont be afraid to ask your own questions in return, 7 months is a good age to introduce a puppy to racing. :luck:

Hi there, I'm the handicapper at Old Hall W.R.C. and if you want to come along to see how we do things, you're more than welcome. We race every Sunday morning, weather permitting, and if you get there at about 10.00a.m. you will see the trialling, followed by the racing. If you want any more info, then feel free to pm me. :thumbsup:

Welcome to non-ped racing Basil Brush :thumbsup: you'll also be able to school your dog on the bends at Highgate WRC when its older.

We start our saturday nights from about september, weather permitting, gates open 4pm, first race 5pm its a good family night out :thumbsup:

If you like you can come along this saturday evening and you'll see what its all about.

Hi barrybrush you see we where all like you when we first started out but once you get to now folk and see how to train your pup and you start your pup trialing and then goes onto racing you will be hooked just like the rest of us so don't be shy to ask questions we are there to help
