I think Sheila was aware that there was going to be another venue held over the easter weekend prior to her post about the thurrock weekend joan... Oct 30 2005

As of now and over the next few weeks the BWRA, NWRF, IRG and ENGLISH DERBY dates are just getting sorted out.

John Meads was approached by the fed about holding an irg open on the Monday, on which he kindly accepted (or so i am lead to believe), this gives races a different format and all ways an enjoyable meeting

its seem's the NEW nwrf have had there date's sorted out for some time November's w.news have all your dates in,

just looked to make sure i was right on this point and yes the NEW nwrf date's are in november's w.news 16th April Kris Memorial G.J, which would mean Thurrock could still have top ten points for there weekend event on the 16th / 17th,

but by now changing the new nwrf from a G.J event to a classic event the w. news can now withhold top ten points for the thurrock weekend,

the only way to stop this sort of thing happening is to not worry about having top ten points for your open's instead substitute top ten points for good payout's and get good sponsorship for your open's, that way racer's will run where they want without having someone dictate what open's can or can't run on what date's, this only show's who's running whippet racing and its not the B.W.R.A, OR THE NEW NWRF,

hopefully you will still get a good turnout and racer's will support the hard work sheila and the worker of thurrock w.r.c have put into this weekend,

I totally agree with what has been stated.

I always thought that the Whippet News was there to print the NEWS and advertise the racing events and NOT decide/dictate who can/can't have Classic/T.T. status etc.

Oh! sorry forgot to sign my name ; JOAN HEMMINGS

thought we were trying to cut down on opens :- " the fed have 6 straight opens a year, these include the champs and wendy freeman, 3 golden jackets and 1 classic

as for trying to book the may bank holiday, the fed champs have always been held then as long as i can remember, so seems you were trying to put a classic weekend on to co inside with the fed champs

 

[timwestwood]

lets stop all this backbiting and let a bit of common sense apply with

swallow nest being a new venue surely it is inevitable that a weekend event

needed to be run before the champs to work out logistics ie caravan placing

etc and also so any glitches with what will be different equipment can be

ironed out before the biggy weekend think about it folks :- "

[mutley]

totaly agree :thumbsup:

Totally agree must just add Whippet News should not keep being pulled to pieces over this, it must be a nightmare for Chris when it comes to doing the callendar for the following year, knowing she can,t please everybody and the ear ache she is going to get from some of the self centred.

Whippet News is absolutely right to give priority to the organisations that is the way it always has been and should be, they are not clubs, they are a group of people who work dammed hard to put on a good race meeting for you the members, none more so than Chris who starts as one Derby finishes making preparations for the next one. I wonder why we bother sometimes but fortunately there a a lot more genuine understanding members than those who spit the dummy out

I agree Linda , Chris works very hard and it must be a nightmare fitting everyone in and keeping them happy.

Must just say people runnin clubs work hard too - and very often put themselves out and miss things themselves sometimes for the sake of their club members - and without clubs - will there be a need for the organisations?????? I would have said the two go hand in hand - or should!!!!

Not sure if i've interpeted last post right but in my opinion its sound like you think organistions are more important than clubs - but without clubs where would racin be - no clubs - no need for any organisations!!!!

totally agree sadie, some people are just full of there own self - important's to worry about the really people keeping racing going, the people running club's every week not just a few opens a year, but are there week in week out, and still run opens for there club, and try to rise money, keep equipment in working order, and run there own dogs,

Hi Kim , yes you took me the wrong way I work hard as well at the cost of our own dogs at times both at club and region level so I understand what you are saying. But as its been said before we need to cut down on the amount of opens and if all the clubs kept to the same time of year for their open it would make it so much easier for w/ news to fit it all in. Its like sorting a jigsaw for Chris every year trying to please us all.

think you have this wrong, its the English Derby that keep changing date's :- " and all the club opens have to be fit in the calendar around that, this problem as come about because the NEW nwrf have changed when they are having there champs, :b so how can club's keep to the same date when its the w.news telling them when they can or can't have open's :blink:

 

[kipper fluke]

Whatever the outcome of this ---the only way to compete is on a fair and level playing field--- if your open who ever you are--- is the one with the best of everything --humor atmosphere --banter ---prizes ---and rules that at stuck to all the time not altered to suit that day --and most of all fair play you will get the support i am sure it maybe a little to far for those up north--- as it is sometimes for those down south ---but surely most folk will go to the nearest on the day especially if its the best one --- Best of luck anyway hope its a great success for you all--- :b :b

The change in dates was due to the fact that we could not have the may bank holiday for 2006 as swallows nest was already booked up...chris worked very hard to change the dates of the English derby to help us out...

You Spellbound ( sorry Hellbound as you were banned from k9 under the user name of Spellbound ) just thrive on causing ill feeling when ever the opportunity arises, here on k9 you love nothing better than stick your penny's worth in and slander certain people or organizations,you always take advantage of it.

any chance of this topic being closed now :angry:

i have the right to answer any topic on k9, :thumbsup: that i answer with fact's instead of fiction may causing ill feeling, to some members

slander certain people or oganizations, think you and your friend would know more about that than me, or may be i should just send you copy's of the one's i have, just to jog your memory ????????? :sweating:
