Thank you for highlighting this Barbara. It has caused much distress in the Borders community, and concern across Scotland.  It was reported that the landowners were threatened with police action if they allowed the hunt on their land. There is currently much on going discussion in the...

Hi Everyone I have been asked to put the following information on this board for anyone going to the 4th Championships at Moreton in Marsh, Gloucestershire this Sunday 29th September. The A44 from Troopers Lodge Garage to Moreton in Marsh is closed for five weeks, this includes the weekend of...

The WCRA have a leaflet which might be of interest also I have some articles - email me if you wish and let me have your address, though it is all pedigree stuff I have.

Well maybe next year is a bit soon for an Open!  But it is certainly something we have discussed and will be proposing - so be prepared!!   Hi Susan - yes we still run on Sundays and we usually set up around 1.00 and start around 1.30pm - glad to hear Robbie is doing well - we will be happy to...

Hi Everyone Just to let you know that the Cale Thistle now has a new 'home'.  We now have our own piece of ground at Kincardine in Forth - just beside the Kincardine Bridge.  Thanks to Peter, our friendly local farmer who has made us so welcome.  We had our first meeting there yesterday, and...

Hi Samantha I tape one of mine as Mark describes above, because she still has dew claws and this prevents injury to the claws and her other feet. However, like you we run over rough hills here in Scotland, so like yours perhaps my whippets feet are slightly harder than others, however we race...

There is a pedigree racing club in Wales, run by Terry Davies, who will know just about everything going on Whippet wise in the area. E-mail me and I'll send you his phone number

Good luck to all those running at Kirkcaldy - it is a great ground, good food and drink nearby and the welcome from Arthur and his companions is wonderful. We wish you a successful Derby - our best wishes from June and the Caledonian Thistle PWRC

Thanks for putting the article on Barbara - I have spoken recently to a couple or so people from NCC's around the country and their reaction has been very cautious so it is very much - 'watch this space' - and keep hoping. It is of course great news that the Government are still taking advice...

Thanks for the invite Gary, lets hope the Inde do have an interclub ??   Is it a Yes Inde??? Hope June and Judy have recovered from their bruising!  Also all the mad footballers, Judy I have to agree with you - John B in goal was a wonderful sight! My disabled bitch Blue is I suspect fitter...

Our thanks to the Inde for a great weekend, and yes an Interclub would be a great idea - I don't know if I could persuade our lot to cross the border, but I'd give it a try! Yes I can vouch that the football was a little rough!  Donald is still limping! ;) I hope June and Judy have both...

Welcome to the Caledonian Thistle PWRC page. The Club was founded in 1999 by a group of people who wanted more from their Whippets than to keep them just as pets and who wanted to give other pedigree whippet owners and their dogs the chance to enjoy and share in a family sport. The Club races...

Dawn Like Vanna & Mark I am appalled, and happy to register my disapproval also. Do they perhaps fear the truth of what may happen when the ban goes through for all the dogs, that innocently chase squirrels and rabbits in the park.  The costs and repercussions that will be highlighted. Thank...

Neil Nothing to run is no excuse not to go!!!!   The Scottish hospitality is fantastic and Arthur always good fun. Good luck to all racers who go, the Scottish club are great people and all comers are welcome.

Hi Barbara I'll double check rats for you when I get home, as I dont have the bill with me here.   If memory serves me right (and that's very dodgy at my ripe old age!!)  there were no exceptions - you just have to flush them out and shoot them! I think politicians might come under the wild...

I was talking to a 'terrier man' recently - as Mark says he reckons they've been sold down the river. In Scotland, the Bill has been discussed, processed and passed by those who know nothing of the process of vermin control and who care nothing for countryside practices and the natural laws of...

One of the Scottish National papers today had an article about the proposed ban on hunting!  (They didn't mention the wild mammals bill - just the ban on hunting) The Scottish hunts reckon they will still be able to hunt (never mind the rest of the countryside pursuits) - they will use hounds...

No chance June!! I've already had practice this year, (see posting on coursing board!)   :p I hope to come down for the day - June you might get an entry form in when I can work out Storm's weight!!!

His slip did give us a laugh though!   Yes it was a great day out, like Scott I was surprised by the lack of stamina, give me a whippet any day.  The tractor drivers were wonderful and I got to the burger van first!   Well I did leave home at 10 to 4 am and return home in the wind, snow and...

Don't forget my butties too!!
