The 10th Annual Cornish Lurcher Championships and The Endurance Challenge are being held at The lurcher Showground on the 16th and 17th of August 2008.

This year The Endurance Challenge is the focus for the whole of Saturday, And now with Prize Money!

There will be a cap on the gate, a £10 entry fee per dog that will automatically enter your Lurcher into all five of our working events where they will be judged on a point system, each Lurcher will receive one point for entering an event and will be given a further point for each round that they are successful in. After each event the scores will be added together and displayed for owners and spectators to track the dogs progression. Then at the end of the day the points will be accumulated and a total will be reached so we will be able to announce the most successful all-round Working Lurcher.

There will be a cash prize of £80 for the Winner,£40 for Reserve, and third will recieve £20,

We will also be presenting Personalised Certificates as keepsakes of the day along with Rossettes to the top six place winners .

events in order:

Simulated Coursing

Hurdles

Triple Jump

Long Jump

Straight Racing

This exciting open event gives all Lurchers a day to recover from their journey, get used to our grounds, and to prepare for the Championships the next day.

After the Competition has ended all entrants are invited to join us that evening for a free barbeque with mulled wine on site to celebrate the tenth anniversary of the Cornish Lurcher Championships.

Keeping in mind how expensive going to shows can be, we are happy to say that we are able to hold our prices once again this year so Sundays gate entry is just £2-50 per person (with the usual concessions of £1 for children and OAPs) all of Sunday’s classes are £1-50 per entry and on site Camping is available and is still only £3-00 for a pitch per night (please confirm). We hope that this all makes for a brilliantly action packed yet affordable weekend and one not to be missed.

A very thankfull to be alive,Billyboy now 47.

2nd accident in 30 years,and both after only reversing a few feet,and not realising there was summit behind me.If you check,there is a blind spot,just in behind you,when you're driving,and if you cant use you're rearview mirror for whatever reason,then you can't see in there,from driver's wing mirror.If the car wasn't so close up my ass in the 1st place,i probibly would have seen it.As it is,i accepted responsibility,and that saved any argument's.I could have said i stopped,and the car behind came into me,as that was exactly how it seemed,as the car behind is alway's in the wrong.Well,99.9%anyhow.But that's not me.I will pay my due's. OPP'S .Sorry for hijacking you're thread Keith.I'll be off now mate.How's em pup's doin. ...Billy...
