We'll all have Whippets with us

Yup - look out for the whippet folk! Even if they aren't K9ers they are usually a friendly lot who want to chat about theirs and yours anyway :lol: And Hannah will find you, just like she did me at Berkeley last year :thumbsup: when a strange woman :- " came up to me with a collie on a lead and said - "K9??" and I shrieked "Yes!" in delight :lol:

We'll be there, but probably hanging around the lurcher ring as we're not pedigrees.

 

[Strike Whippets]

Will see you then as my friends are judging and stewarding the Lurchers

That sounds good, though someone is in the wars again today - I think he inhaled a bit of sand yesterday

 

[OEH]

Oh dear what are the symptoms? I didn't think he'd managed to inhale any sand- if I remember correctly he spent all his time in the lead

 

[Strike Whippets]

The simulated coursing starts at 10 am in the main ring, so you'll have to book well befor then .............The racing is normally around 3 pm after the showings finished

So what time is everyone going ??? Can you enter them for showing on the day as well... :wacko:

 

Although i think Tilly is a bit of a bruser, :- "

 

[OEH]

Well I think I'm going to get there in time to watch the simulated coursing and do the showing and the straight racing

Strike - is there ringside parking for the lurchers?

How much earlier is 'well before'? 9.oo? Olivia, how long would you estimate it takes from here? (You might have noticed we're not really early birds :- " :b )

 

[OEH]

I was going to give it two hours, it is exactly an hour to Cirencester, and when I last went to Frampton (hunter trialling when I was 16 :- " ) I think it took about 3/4 hr from my parents' house nr Ciren. But I'm going to check on the map before I leave to see if there is a more direct route.

The reason I'm only going for the showing and the straight racing is that I fancy a lie -_- in having left at 5.30am last sunday for Chatsworth show.

 

[Joanna]

45 MINS from Ciren is about right Olivia. We are showing Archie, he won the hound group last year, but he isn't into showing now. Can't bear to think what he is missing out on 'cos the puppy isn't next to him!

 

[Strike Whippets]

Yes there's parking round by the rings ........And yes around 9am -ish for booking into the lure coursing .........
