OLD HALL W.R.C. 23/9/12 SUP.RCH LITTLE BILL & GEORGE SPARKS MEMORIAL OPEN. A.B.C. FORMAT.

This open is being run for the second year in the memory of one special man and his extraordinary dog.

George was involved in Whippet racing for many years and was a familiar face at Old Hall. He could be seen at Old Hall, most weekends, even if he wasn't racing, as he didn't like to miss out on the racing. George had his share of dogs', but, Billy was his most outstanding dog, for his achievements.

Little Bill was only five when his battle with life all became too much. Billy acieved many accolades during his racing career, including his Rch title for three consecutive years and finally gaining his Nch title at his last attempt. His most impressive achievement, by far, was being crowned B.W.R.A. Supreme Racing Champion for three consecutive years! Something not accomplished for thirty years.

We hope everyone enjoyed the racing, today, in the memory of George and Billy and let's hope he would of been proud!

Huge well done to Old Hall WRC and The Spark family. Today was a great day's racing and I'm sure George was very proud of you all.

Some very tight races and some impressive youngsters running very well. Little Slimfast, The Devil Is Blue and North B4 South are going to be ones to watch next year.

Made my day to see Lenny (No Point) run a belting race, well done Adam & Claira :thumbsup:

Congratulations everyone and thanks for all your hospitality. Nice to come along on your own and get a warm welcome (especially if it from Styler!) (w00t)
