Thanks to Andrew, Alison and the team of racers at Old Hall for putting on a lovely open. I'm shattered and don't know if I'll be able to walk tomorrow that bank is a killer, though I didn't have to go all the way to the traps.

Well done to all the lure runners and to the ever helpful Kielan (sp?) he just never stops working.

Hugs to all the dogs who gave me so much pleasure watching them race.

It was so nice to be back open racing.

(ps Tony I shall be thinking of you on Thursday)

I'll add my post to this thread too :thumbsup:

I agree Graham, it was a brilliant day. The rain stayed away, so that was a bonus. I even have a bit of sunburn on my cheeks!

Well done and thank you to Old Hall WRC, and Andrew and Alison Ingley and their families for such a well organised and well run day. The open was run in aid of "Help for Heros", and I hear a good sum was made.

There was a great atmosphere, and the camaraderie at the end when people were all helping each other to get the vehicles off safely, and with as little damage to the ground as possible, was brilliant :thumbsup:

Looking forward to seeing all our chums again at the Nationals next week, with a great entry, it should be a good day. I hear the weather from Wednesday is going to be good, so don't forget your sunscreen :teehee:

What a cracking good day! The company was great, the weather held out, and my dogs did well too. All that and we raised money for an excellent cause too.

Don't think my legs were bothered by the bank but can't say the same for my back, pushing the peppermint van out of the mud!

Well done to all the finalists but special mentions for Vince and Julia's Teddie (Maginot Line) who ran his socks off, Spellbinder running a blinder on his first open, and Fleur for getting her trapping together at last. Therewere so many memorable performances,too many to note all.

Special good luck to Andy Eaton following his fall. I hope his first few steps today weren't too painful, and that he doesn't end up hating all physiotherapists!

What a great day! :thumbsup: Top class racing, a fantastic atmosphere and a generous helping of Derbyshire mud for us all to take back home with us!

Thanks to Andrew, Alison and family who worked so hard to make it all possible, to Keelan on the lure who, along with Andrew probably covered more distance throughout the day than any of the dogs running and of course to Old Hall and its members for all their help and good humour. :cheers:

Well Done to all the dogs who made it to the finals, - they certainly earned their places. :cheers:

Rob has taken over 200 photos some of which we will try to post over the next few days when we have sorted through them, - believe it or not he even got a bit of a suntan!! 8)

) A big thankyou to Andrew , Alison & all the Old Hall members who worked so hard all day. )

It was lovely to see all good friends having a great day to start of the racing calendar.

Yes l think we all brought home a fair amount of Derbyshire mud and the washing machines are no doubt all going non stop today.

) Thankyou again and we look forward to seeing you all next Sunday at the Nationals )

We would like to thank all our helpers, especially Keelan for running the lure, Rob and Kay for organising the trophies for us, and all the line judges today.
