There aree still a few places left for the whippet stake for this meeting.

 

anyone interested in running a dog should either ring me on ~ 07903 624876 or e/mail ~ lurecoursing@parkstonewhippets.co.uk

 

With this being a new venue for the meetings we've been keeping a close eye on the ground conditions, i'm happy to say that despite the dry conditions the ground is in perfect condition, nice and soft with a good covering of grass, the groundsmen have agreed to leave the grass quite long to acomodate the lure coursing.

Heard a rumour that someones putting it around that the field were useing for lure coursing isn't safe.

Here a pic of the lure coursing field as you can see it's got a good covering of grass and is nice and flat.
