I'd like to commend all those members of Lurcher Link,and those that helped them ,judges, stewards ,slippers,etc for struggling on in very adverse conditions on Sunday.

Lurcher Link is a very good cause and it is only the dedication of those who support it that enables them to do so much good .

Those who helped and those members of the public that braved the elements to support the show all deserve a pat on the back for doing so.Let's hope next years weather will be kinder.

In the 8 years we've been going it's the first time the weather has been so bad, even so everyone did the best they could and carried on regardless to make the weekend run as best they could.

weather was crap all day but things still went ahead best they could not everything went to plan but that was down to the terrible weather on the day big thumbs up to everyone helping out on the day especially the boys doing the simulated and the racing all cards full .which was a surprise given the weather and big thanks to pat quant for running the british supreme class .

First time I've missed this show in over 20 years: both of us down with dreaded lurgy. Glad it went OK despite the weather. So sorry I missed catching up with everyone: my one 'social' event of the year!
