:thumbsup: I CAN ONLY SPEAK FOR THE CLUB THAT I BELONG TO, OLD HALL W.R.C. IN SO FAR AS WE HAVE TWO OR THREE WEEKEND EVENTS AT OUR VENUE AND THEY ARE ALL CHAMPIONSHIP EVENTS RUN BY THE B.W.R.A. THIS MEANS THAT ONLY DOGS REGISTERED WITH THEM CAN RUN, AT THOSE EVENTS. HOWEVER, IF YOU KEEP YOUR EYES ON THIS SITE, YOU WILL SEE CLUBS' PUBLICISING THEIR OWN WEEKEND EVENTS AND IF YOU SEND A P.M. TO THE TOPIC ORIGINATOR, THEY WILL BE ABLE TO TELL YOU WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW WITH REGARDS TO AVAILABILITY OF RACING FOR YOU AND YOUR DOGS. MEANWHILE, IF THERE IS ANY CHANCE OF OUR CLUB BEING ABLE TO ACCOMODATE YOU I WILL P.M. YOU TO TELL YOU. GOOD LUCK. :luck:
i heard about this by mate ere in ireland is this yard per pound or wat way does it work sherry and could u tell me over wat distance and how many runs we would get :thumbsup:
thanks very much for your help :thumbsup:
hopefully one of the scottish lot will come by they wud b able to tell u better than me. it is yds per 1lbs but theres also scratch racing. wud imagine your dog wud have to b experienced ie raced in company etc
all dogs ave raced in company ect just we race different than yourselfs hopefully some one will give me run down on scottish derby :thumbsup: thanks again for help sherry
the little bit i can tell u is the derby is a fantastic weekend event. great atmosphere and its my own personal fave race of the year. all dogs race on the sat not sure of the distance but i think it cud b 150 or 160 yds for the yds per 1lb dogs. the scratch i think is over 175yds. this is 40lb and no limit (dont think theres a 36lb) if u get thru the sat u wud race in the final on the sun if not there is consolation racing on the sun. all finals u get walked down the track to the traps behind the piper. dogs r no more than 5 in a race out of traps. this is all i can tell u about it. depending on how many heats there were i think its 1st two thru to the next round. it wud b impossible to say how many runs u wud have though as that wud depend on of u won :thumbsup: this is straight racing btw

I don't think I can answer all your questions and Im sure someone more experienced will be along soon
I think scratch racing is in 2 classes up to 40lb and No limit for whippets heavier than that ( I don't think
Scotland has an upper weight limit but I could be wrong.)
Scratch racing is run out of 5 level break traps over 175 yards in heats to a final over two days
There is camping on the field where the track is, I don't think the camping prices have been announced this year
gbabe6981 is the person who usually puts all the details up on here so you would be better to pm her as she will
be the person who knows more
Hope that helps
