Hi All,

The Shawfield Greyhound Stadium is asking for some non peds to run in a 300m Bend event. There is no entry fee and the Stadium is putting up £50 and a trophy for the event, it will also have a mention in the Daily Record and possibly your picture (for those who don't know the Daily Record is the biggest selling newpaper in Scotland). The week they are looking at is Saturday 16th October. Who knows might turn into something on a regular basis if we get the attendance.

If you are interested can you please PM me and also let anyone now that is not on K9.

Thanks

Gil
 
are they wanting scratch dogs or smallert dogs eg yrds lbs
 
Please note that we are putting a list together on the interest of racers only at the moment. IF you are interested please PM me and let me know names, weights of the dogs running

Thanks

Gil

well said susan,just wish i had something to run on the bends or i would be there.
 
looks very much like stainforth track,open bends good galloping track. :thumbsup:
 
Is it one race? or will there be heats through to a final?
 
I was at Shawfield on Saturday and spoke to the manager.We took East Ayrshire traps up and set up a couple of races so that he could see the whippets racing.The pedigrees have got 16 dogs and they are going to race on Sat 2 october.There will be 4x4 dog heats 2x4dog semis and a 4 dog final.They are going to run out our whippet traps up the home straight (about 80 yds).The non -peds would be 238mtrs out greyhound traps.Don't know format or any other info yet.If it is a success he might be looking at a monthly event.Hope to find out more this week.

Danny.
 
few folks that are not on here showing interest,depends on the classes???????

also is there a local b/b????????????? some folks might want to stay over due to a evening meeting and the travel :thumbsup:

sounds as it could be a good night. :luck:

is it a greyhound rescue meeting?
 
On the 2nd Oct there will be a 16 dog pedi racing nite, with possibly 8 non peds doin the 230 bends, the peds doin roughly 90 mtr scr sprint, if theres enough interest a couple of weeks later--even a month later, or whenever yous non pedi folks can get together, we are willing to put on an event for non ped bend racers for a really good nite.! if u get in touch with gbabe6981-aka-Gil or Danny fae the Cumnock club, they should put u in the picture folks.! Cheers Scott :thumbsup:
