Greetings to all lure coursers and particularly those with lurchers.

I have been asked by the organ grinder to make you aware that the principal lure coursing club of the east is holding its Championship event this Saturday amidst the imposing surroundings of Holkham Hall Norfolk.

As well as quality whippet events(not exceeding 21 inches OF COURSE (w00t) ) there will be a lurcher stake which will also include non ped whippets and over sized giants in the same breed. This event is open to members and non members. For those wishing to attend, the entry fee will be £5 and the prize for winning and runner up will be the prestigious and covetted EAWCC rosette. You will be assured of a warm welcome as ever Please PM me, the monkey, to reserve your place and I will give you detailed directions for reaching this venue. Believe me, this running ground is unsurpassed for quality. :thumbsup:

Hi Trish. Yes you are quite correct with the 8.30 timing. The keeper will unlock the park gates to let us in then lock up again. I was going to explain that when I post directions, which I will do later today. Should be a good day as ever. Like minded people etc etc -_- :thumbsup:

Greetings all lure coursers and LMPs :thumbsup:

Some directions for Holkham Hall

Coming from King's Lynn. take the A149. This is the coast road and takes you round the north Norfolk coast and beyond. Holkham estate is 2 or 3 miles before Wels-Next-The-Sea. Once you pass Brancaster you will be just a few minutes from the venue. The North Entrance is directly off the A149. On one side of the road to the left is Lady Ann's Drive. Directly opposite is the turnIng that will take you up to the park gate. Some 100M or so off the 149.

As stated previously, be at the gate for 0830 at which time the keeper will enable entry.

I think this to be a really picturesqe venue and a first class running surface.

Here are 2 pictures from our meeting at Holkham last season :thumbsup:

Hi. Yes I would imagine no problem. I have not been told of any upper limits being reached. So, bring them along and if we have to run 2 stakes or a larger single stake, then so be it.

See you Saturday :thumbsup:

Good evening everyone :thumbsup:

I have just spoken with Bob Blatch who has updated me on events tomorrow at Holkham and beyond: Starting at Holkham:

Pete Kennard Memorial Trophy (whippets)

Quink Trophy (whippets)

Sonny Puppy Cup (whippets)

Earl of Leicester Stake for Lurchers, Non Ped Whippets and over size ped whippets

The Banatay Bonanza Puppy Cup will be run at Henham on 19 April 2008

The Championship meeting will now be run at Gillingham on 26 April 2008

The Gillingham meeting has been added to the programme to enable more finalists to be achieved . Due to the postponed meetings this season due to weather the extra meeting will help to achieve a meaningful stake for the Championship.

Many thanks
