What a great club. Before the ban, I would say they had some of the best permission in lincolnshire, especially where they use to run the chairmans cup. I just wish I'd joined it 20 years earlier lol. I've be lucky to have seen some really good dogs run in that club too.

[FENS FEVER 147]

any pics of dogs your were runing then lads

[boyo 1,398]

they were certainly well run days with more hares to run than you could shake a stick at lol . hope my mate with the stick aint reading this lol.all jokes aside these were unbeileivable days for coursing and some cracking dogs owned by members of the club . and wo betide anyone slipping less than to 100 yds minimum , all hares had to be given fair law and if accident happened and short slip or trigger happy didnt the culprit know about it . as someone has allready said this club had masses of top quality running ground in them days .

got me thinking breakfast in pub before doing draw for running order or who you were running if doubled up. and first meeting of the season going outside to see all the other members and any new dogs or pups they had bought or bred through the summer then driving down to running grounds full of anticipation and hope for a good day and even better season those were the days untill that poxy blair and his phony army of followers fecked it up big time .oh to have those sought of days back .my opinion is we never will.

I used to go to The Border & Coquetdale Coursing meets, over 40 years ago. The beaters, flankers and spectators were made up of working class lads from the estates of Newcastle, and Ashington and Bedlington, and from the Borders. The Slip Steward was a postman from Westerhope !! Made a bit of a mockery of the assumption that Coursing was a "Toffs" sport !!

 

Cheers.
