England terrier and lurcher show, wingate, county durham

[scottish hare hunter 2,345]

All i want to know is if there is cross bread classes

[nrat 8]

Judging by the class's, entry fee's etc, I take it neither you or your pal have organised/run a show before ? Did you do the homework regarding third party insurance, especialy if racing is included. How about the hiring/provision of toilet facilites, etc ? It's not just a case of finding a field and having a show. I'm sure there are people on here who will galdly give you help and advice to run a show in the future.

 

Cheers.

 

we have run several cross country shows and showjumping events, my friend has liability insurance of 1 million pound, toilets are onsite and so is a burger van, and when they lived at there old place, held several succesful lurcher events, so i think they have the right experience to run one, as i have said previosly, i have nothing to do with the show, only helping them advertise it

 

the insurance dosent cost that much, the burger van will be paying money to attend the show and at these prices to enter a dog YOU WONT NEED MANY TOILETS ????

i know that your only advertising for your friend but the prices are a bit much.....

 

what price were the classes at the several succesful lurcher events.... if it was more than a couple of quid i doubt they were succesful...and my dad says that in 35 years of having lurchers and saluki x's ....... he has never ever seen whippets judged with the terriers....

 

my dad and his mates held a very successful show at spenny dog track years ago and half of the takings went to Blue Acres ... which is now Stray Aid.....

i think they raised over £200 for them...

 

i hope you raise some money for stray aid but i think that in this case...less is more...

i hope it works out

cheers

We go to loads of shows at this time of year and never paid this much to enter (don't even pay that to go into game shows ) if you need any help at some time I will gladly give you some advice. Just pm me. Regards Rox

Well said young Saiger, I remember the show at Spenny very well, I judged it and as you said it was a very successful with a good amount of cash raised for charity, Good venue and good prices so the organisers of Wingate need to get their act together this weekend as there are penty of other shows taking place within striking distance.

 

The only show this weekend is on Sunday at Blanchlands. If you look at the map its north of Stanhope about an hours ride from Durham if that's any help. I also remember spenny shows they were well run and fun and always made a good amount as you say.
