dogmanphil 5 Posted March 8, 2010 Report Share Posted March 8, 2010 when are you thinking of holding the show Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Neal 1,799 Posted March 8, 2010 Report Share Posted March 8, 2010 Poacher 3161; yes, that's the same one. That's a pretty good return on three and a bit quid! I'm not sure we'll get quite as much as that if we try to sell them on though. I nearly gave all my Plummer books away a few years ago so I'm glad I kept them now.

Guest 2GOOD Posted March 8, 2010 Report Share Posted March 8, 2010 i went a few times to the one on the sloping field ,but the last one i went to was advertised as lambourn lurcher show but it was held on newbury race course Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wolfie 106 Posted March 8, 2010 Report Share Posted March 8, 2010 (edited) Good luck mate theirs a booklet about it by hancock Should be a good show as long as a couple of travellers dont decide to settle their scores there hey poach,i did see there was a booklet about it but id imagine it would cost a small fortune.i may ring david to get some information. The national lurcher and racing club did a book about it a couple of years back give them a bell sorry didnt see boyos post Edited March 8, 2010 by Wolfie Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest 2GOOD Posted March 8, 2010 Report Share Posted March 8, 2010 Aye,.it was a travesty,.set amongst a tarmac parade ground,....and was an insult to the original Lambourn... yes i got depressed ,so got and spent the afternoon in a ambulance parked on the site ,it must have been some thing i ate .

boyo 1,398 Posted March 8, 2010 Report Share Posted March 8, 2010 the origenal lambourn was the best bar none every kind of lurcher you could imagine and every kind of lurcher owner you could imagine . and i would think that at that time there wasnt many lurchers there that wasnt doing the job they were origanelly intended for either . 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
"Earth!" 503 Posted March 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2010 (edited) when are you thinking of holding the show 17th july.will shortly put all details up on the show section Edited March 8, 2010 by "Earth!" Quote Link to post Share on other sites
"Earth!" 503 Posted March 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2010 Aye,.it was a travesty,.set amongst a tarmac parade ground,....and was an insult to the original Lambourn... mine will be held on the first field it was held on,not the sloping one at seven barrows but the one opposite the malt shovel pub alone malt shovel lane in upper lambourn.IF the show proves to be near as busy as it once was all them years ago,then i shall move it to the seven barrows field.
