I think people are starting o get ahead of things with talk of insurance etc, to get there you need numbers to bring down costs, would it not be better to start with a web site with all the good publicity it can be packed with based on a nominal membership fee. The aim to get it the top of search results. Once there are enough members then it can more forward to negotiating things like insurance etc. For me the most important thing is to get a platform that can be used to promote the positive aspects of lurchers. Later if it is backed by a lot of members then it has a lot of clout in negotiations with companies etc and so gain more benefits for individual members but for now do it for lurcher work rather than individuals.

I think that's the way forward the pay off should be running dogs, anything else should come secondary, maybe you and a couple others experienced members can arrange to speak with Bonner about a way forward, check Dewclaws Topic it could well be an opening to move forward.

i'm up for anything but as per the title of the post i think it needs the attention of some more prominent figures. well up for being part of any delegation though

Time to get a grass roots lurcher/working dog association started asap get a small organising /fundraising group set up and get it into the C/A by association and put the man to the test of his word this is an ideal opportunity for all sections of the dog fraternity to do some thing positive , Good Email Rob and genuine response from Mr Bonner lets get it on.

That's my thinking someone with experience in these matters could lead way for us to follow, lets hope its the start of something

I would be happy to help out with anything I could but I'm no prominent name just a lad with some dogs.

Exactly, it seems lurcher lads are an easy target maybe because we dont speak out enough

Hats off to you dewclaw. very good email from you and response from Tim. If a lurcher association of some kind is started then a firm email to Norfolk police would be appropriate and other governing body's who are trying to taint the public to dog men.you don't see the police warning us about drug dealers or how to spot a burglar etc.

looks to me like put the attention on some body else to take it off me, long dogs will be the sacrificial lamb in getting the repeal
