Today we all met up for a very special event - The Thomas Bentham memorial trophy meeting' in memory of a very special and well liked young man who adored his whippets.

The weather was absolutely perishing, but bright and sunny. We kicked the day off with a first round of racing followed by a scrumptious 'Starkey sausage sizzle' to celebrate Rob's birthday today - Happy birthday you grumpy old fart!'

Well done to all dogs participating, especially to Lola (Femme Fatale) for winning the lightweights, Forest (Master of Light) for taking the heavy weight title, and Femme Fatale for winning the supreme. :cheers:

Could someone with the full results possibly put them on pretty please

A few pictures to follow
