Whats the minimum weight for the Peds Linda?.

 

[weathergirls]

WHATS THE NORM FOR PEDDIES FOR NON-PEDS ITS 15LB

 

[Mark Roberts]

Peds is 14lb, I only ask as i've got a 13 1/2lb bitch that normaly runs off 14lb at pedigree opens.

just weighing up what to run? might just enter everything (5)

 

[Vicky]

just weighing up what to run? might just enter everything (5)

Go on you know you wanna!!

The minimum might be 15lb, doesn't mean a 14lber can't run she'd just have to run at 15lb.

 

[Vicky]

Peds is 14lb, I only ask as i've got a 13 1/2lb bitch that normaly runs off 14lb at pedigree opens.

Does she get much to run against around her weight?

 

[Mark Roberts]

in the 14-19lb groups at opens theres plenty but at the Champs (not ex 16lb group) theres normaly only about 6-9 runners.

Vicky she's actually 13 1/2lb so she'd be giving 1.5yd away at the traps if it's 15lb.

 

[weathergirls]

IF THEY RUN AT 14LB ON THE PED CIRCUIT I,LL GO ALONG WITH THAT, MAY NEED TO ADJUST THE CLASSES TO EVEN IT UP, OR MAYBE MAKE IT 4 CLASSES.

AS IT HAS ALREADY BEEN ADVERTISED IF ANY OF THE PEDDIE RACERS WERE TO OBJECT THEN IT WOULD STAY AS IT IS THIS CAN BE SORTED ON THE DAY.

HOPEFULLY WE CAN PLEASE EVERYBODY.

(SEE I,M AN OPTIMIST)

 

[Mark Roberts]

No problem, don't change it just for mine it was just an open question as it said up to but no minimum.

​

I have a shied at home for the old W/h/ton clubs new year handicap. I offered this to Mick & Vicky so they have first call on it I suppose. I would normally be glad to get a new one but we need to spend around £500 on the van (mot & vandals). If you can wait 2 or 3 weeks I'll see how i'm fixed then.

 

[Vicky]

If it just needs re-plaquing & your ok with running for it at this event then it's fine by me, i'm sure the n/w funds can stretch to getting that done

 

[weathergirls]

thanks thats great

 

[Vicky]
