Bends

[Terry Smith]

Will any clubs be staging bend racing over the next couple of month's? Reason I ask is that I need to get our little bitch proved for bend racing before the WCRA decide she can only run 120s. She's nearly five & goes around the local G/H track at least once a month no problem. Don't think the northern can manage one 'till the football seasons over.

Hi Terry we will be doing bends at Maidstone our first meeting is on 10-march which is on the straight but we would be more than happy to do bend trials any meeting you require if you need any more info give me a ring on 01795533407.

Hi Terry

         The Northern ran bends the last two weeks as football had away match's and we had a load of dogs that needed passing, so we took the opertunity to get them all passed before the season starts.

unfortunatly the next one won't be for a while now.(probably the end of March but that depends on football ect as they are well behind with their matches due to the weather)

Thanks for the offer Gary, just a little too far for us. Went past Maidstone this week going to Calais for a "cultural trip" + next 6 month's booze 'n' bacca. Felt pretty knackered by that stage. Must have missed the bends bit on the northerns club letter. Must pay more attention next time

I love hanging around dog tracks for some strange reason. Probably 'cos it takes me back to my childhood (we had simple pleasures in them days). Sheila thinks it's weird, I could be weirder & like hanging around convent shool gates. Problem with us is some time ago the WCRA (bless 'em) thought the 16lbers it loves so much needed even more protection. So!! you don't just trial a dog on & are free to enter anything. You then have to trial on bends & are then certified. Don't you wish you had a good organisation like that to race under rather than that BWRA rabble? Then you could have height restrictions, weight restrictions, age restrictions & straights/bends restrictions. Which isn't bad for an outfit whose charter is to ENCOURAGE whippet racing.
