The Future Of Working Lurchers.

[air gun ant 1,666]

I'm very new to lurchers and lurcher work, but I've been involved most other fieldsports since my mum started letting me out on my own. If there's anyway you lot think I can be of any use whatsoever then I'm in! I can make up and donate a few lots to an auction if we decide we need start up funds etc? Or I'll quite happily just pay a membership fee to be part of something that's going to be fighting for my right to run my pup!

I think we are starting to come to grips with the idea we need to do something, Socks being a business man in this area is a perfect example of why we need a unified voice and a good positive candidate to be involved or to go and meet Bonner (obviously if your up for it Socks), would it be a good idea for the people who want to move forward with this to arrange to meet and discuss ? Who would be interested?

I think you are going to need a voice for each region or area. Then them voices meet up to put ideas and thoughts across aswell as numbers from their region etc.

 

If it comes off you can't have a couple of thousands people all trying to communicate to one person.

I am more than happy to meet up to draught a set of notes and thoughts to submit to Tim in a meeting, I think the initial meeting should be kept to just a few people otherwise to many voices will just mean nothing will be decided upon.

Dewclaw Email Mr T Bonner ask him where and when he would be available for a preliminary meeting, that would give us a view of the time scale we have to work within..

I think once a steering commitee is formed it will be beneficial for a newby from the younger generation to be placed on the commitee to show there is enthusiasm from the younger population as well as the old farts .longing for the old running days

Your right, but to start off with it could do with a few people who want things done to meet up and light the fuse to move forward with regions etc.

I aren't sure but you have to wear a strong stuff collar at the meetings.

 

And not a tapered lurcher collar. A proper 2" man collar. Lol

It wont be easy Gaz but nothing worth doing ever is, I'm sure there are suitable candidates for all of these rolls maybe on this site alone, but a sit down one afternoon with those willing to put in some graft to help this start it up could only be a good thing imo
