A very happy day at the Nationals yesterday! CONGRATULATIONS to all the winners and finalists and to all those with new titles! The line judges really had their work cut out with so many close finishes.
CONGRATULATIONS also to all those worked so hard to fit several months work into a few weeks and make it all possible. I'm sure you know it already by now, but you did a great job! :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Lovely to see racing folk celebrating each others achievements and willing to contribute so much effort to make it such a success.

Thank you too Rob and Kay as your hard work didn't go unnoticed either :cheers:

The signs were fantastic and well done to all photographers, there will, I believe, be a photographic record of the day on the new web-site, and I think Lloyd did catch all the finals going over the line..............You owe him Barbara, he was 15 minutes late for his band-practice and had rampant indigestion after bolting his curry :lol:

Had a great day yesterday. Thank you so much to everyone who came and supported it. It just shows you what racing people can do when they set their minds to. I'm really glad we've taken this step (even if it is a bit scary) and there is a lot of work still to be done but its getting there.
Big Congratulations to new half coats Kinda Cheeky, Mortons Double Take, Only Me, Chase The Bear, and Making A Mint, and also Blue Devil, Run At Mill and Blue & White Dynamite who showed us all just why they are already champions

Mega CONGRATULATIONS to Daphne Kitchens Black Gold on gaining her title and becoming the first new NPWRCh and so pleased with her Dad (Time Keeper) and half sister Gingeroo) for winning their veteran groups on the same day.

And what can you say about Run At Mill breaking Tippers record for the 28lb group with his 11th Championship win and equalling Red Assassin's long held over all record for number of Championship wins. The dog is amazing! WELL DONE He's turning out to be a great sire too!. Is there no end to his talents

In the veterans Crystal Star, Gingeroo and Keeper did it again and CONGRATULATIONS again to Merry Nights, Happy Days and Laura's Dream for becoming new Veteran Champions.THANKS

And all the other dogs who made the finals or just ran. You make the day special too :thumbsup:

On a more personal note Well Done to Gill's Darkling Sandfly for making the 26lb final. The boy done well! And Congrats to Conway Flyer on getting 2nd in the old dogs final :huggles:

Why would that gorgeous picture upset anyone? Your boys are fabulous Mandy and Derek, as are you both, and Brian and Nettie - you are so committed to your dogs and their racing, and you are a pleasure to be around. You are also showing off the condition of the track, it looks glorious, and that's after we raced on it!! We just need that win for Highland Warrior now, and the Tartan Army will be singing from the rooftops!! We're already planning things for the next one, and it will soon be here. Hope to see you before then though xx :huggles:

I've just realised...... I read your post to myself with a Scottish accent Mandy :lol: I could just hear you saying it. Well done the Tartan Army :cheers:

:lol: I read it with a Scottish accent too. I could imagine Mandy saying it to me. Congrats to you lot again. Can I please stop being polite to yourselves. I am very rude to the other owners who keep on beating my boys in that group. I've held off from you lot so far 'cause of ....................... well you are Scottish. OMG I'm a racist now. (w00t) (w00t) (w00t)

BTW that is a lovely photo of you and your dogs. The Highland dogs ran really well too. Several people commented on Netties grab 'em technique. I wasn't sure whether some of the blokies didn't rather fancy being treated in such a manner or whether they were thinking ouch! Sorry folks you had to see it to understand. :lol: :lol:

It's lovely to see the Tartan Army growing with Scooby, Ian and Dave making the journey down. We know that it's a long way and it's lovely to see you all.
