Show is on this weekend - a lot different to the usual gamefairs, also raising money for a great cause;)

A great show for a great cause - I have been asked to post the below details which is going to be used for the Countryman's weekly advert. Any questions please ask; On 13th October 2013, East of England Lurcher Club & Lurcher Link will host their annual Autumn Show at the East of England Showground, Oundle Road, Peterborough PE2 6XE. Morning events: Simulated Coursing (entries from 8am starting when first card is full: limited to 32 dogs). Followed immediately by Straight Racing: under 23”, over 23”, terriers, whippets and puppies. Estimated start for racing: 10-10:30am subject to change

I see why people who have owned working Lurchers for a number of years get a bit piss*d off when they attend shows - either with their dogs or not. Only being in my middle 20's I only get to see my pictures my parents took 30 years ago of Lambourn and shows friends helped with in the 80's.. You can defiantly see the change in stamp/breed of today's Lurcher; being breed for different purposes I attend quite a few gamefairs; I help a club and run my own show for 'LurcherLink' - I am very pleased I do as I have meet some great people and enjoy having a laugh in the evenings once the public

There's a chap based between Gloucester and Cheltenham - I went as try to avoid vets but if its more than just bones, more than likely not completley solve the problem. in my bitches case:( Now seeing a canine therapy lady - which deals with deep tissue/ligaments etc.. Been twice now and unbelievable difference it has made. Hasn't been sound for 6 months and talking about giving her a free run soon, well worth the money. Best of luck

Best of luck with the show - only 5 miles down the road, hopefully I haven't got anything clashing this year as missed the last few years;)
