Cant recommend this event highly enough ....................... I went last year and was impressed with the organisation and extremely friendly atmosphere. I didnt see the coursing, but the straight racing had a really good, long track and the showing was all in good sized rings. And the prizes .........well, lets just say I have yet to see better ....they were tremendous :cheers: We had had some serious rain prior to this last year and even that didnt mar the day.

Good luck to Maggi, Bill and team and I hope you raise a huge amount of money for your chosen charities :thumbsup:

 

[goodgal]

It's on the calandar now - see you soon xx

 

[twinkletoes dylan]

Maggi - Dad & I are definately going to make the journey up from Plymouth, with Goran & Rebus, sounds a great day of events & from the feedback I heard from last year, should be a great day...Looking forward to it.....

 

[Tom Pickering]

Just to inform anyone who is wanting to camp on the saturday night. There is a pub around 1/2 mile down the round from the show field. Mum has spoken to the landlady and said it will be at a cost of £3 per person. Please email me by the saturday before the show so that I can inform the pub :thumbsup:

Tom

Thanks all for the comments re last years show :thumbsup:

Unfortunately no coursing this year as the lower part of the field has been used for crops this is why we've added an extra racing category & the other field events so that people can hopefully have a go at something else.

The only request is for a bit less mud than last year :lol:

The racing distance is 180-200 yards,

Bic testing the ground

Photos of some of the rosettes,

Racing champ & reserve rosettes, same for puppies & adults

Looking forward to the trophies arriving, bit like Christmas :teehee:

Feel free to contact us re any queries :thumbsup:

 

[gabbitas31]

Beautiful rosette's and I bet the trophies are just as nice but please please can some one take lots of photo's for us on K9, I expect Maggi will take some for us. :thumbsup: Di

 

[Tom Pickering]

Here are a few of the trophies which are up for grabs this year

[Tom Pickering]

Champion & reserve champion tankards. Pups & Adults are the same

This is one event that shouldnt go a miss...myself and my 6 year old son went last year...and he had a great time doing the fun showing, even though Bow isnt no show whippet..both got three thirds and a cuddly toy

the weather was awful to start with, and god wasnt it muddy...but it tuned out quite sunny in the afternoon

Its a shame theres no coursing , Bow won it last year ,and yes weve got one of those lovely rossettes and a trophy

Not sure if we can make it though but will try to get there

 

[goodgal]

We're looking forward to Sunday!!! Me, Rowan and Willow that is cos G has to work :angry:
