The Future Of Working Lurchers.

with the tusks on that cwd and him being the dominant deer, how do they know it was dogs and not other cwd males fighting during the rut?????

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

 

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

 

we can fight the corner for the sight dogs and the lurchers , just needs the support of the genuine working dog men who are up fr the graft and struggle wolves in sheep clothing if you like and at the time of the sacrificial lamb they will have an eye opener we need organising now.

I could look into it but it could be quite costly to do it right, domain names, SEO's to get to the first page in google, graphics,design etc. you could use the free websites but im not sure how they work, if we could get together and set up a group/club its something that should be done properly.

good on you rob no matter what name you use they shall still hunt you down lol get stuck into them mate

I will pay for a Domain name and to get it hosted if someone can design it. A student studying IT could do it good start to their portfolio and they get the accreditation and design advertising on the forum.It needs to be a full fledged forum not a freebie it needs to portray the group as serious and sustainable .

that's a kind offer DB and i totally agree it needs to be professional, but it may need people who are happy to put the graft in to have a sit down and discuss it properly.

The Association of Lurcher Clubs was supposed to be actively promoting all sorts of things, the last I heard, several years ago. They were a presence at various game fairs (are they still?). What do they do now to try and pull lurcher owners together? I never read anything from them in any of the sporting press. Their original idea was to unite all lurcher clubs under one banner and to give lurcher owners fair representation within the CA.

 

As I see it we are as much to blame as the ALC in failing to unite in any way at all. Years ago I tried to unite the clubs only to fall at the first hurdle when nobody seemed to want to make the effort. There is huge apathy out there, caused partly by the belief that we are somehow different to mainstream field sports, (many lurcher people enjoy this inverted status and want no real change), and partly because whilst the many lurcher clubs do great work in their own areas and some do communicate with each other, there has never been a core agreement or plan which all can follow.

 

It wasn't so long ago that members on here were all for drawing up a Lurcher Code of Conduct ... what happened to that? Did it just die the same death as many other good ideas?

 

Until there is a truly believable and strong organisation to represent lurchers each idea will be doomed to the same failure as the Conduct idea. But who should form that organisation?

We need to get organised quickly. We have an open invite to talk to Mr Bonner

[Dewclaw69 484]

are you in Penny ?

[mad4it 693]

as said at least he up for a challenge. It would be good to see if he does.

[desertbred 5,490]

Rob has got a chink of light through the curtains of C/A Mr Bonner has put an offer on the table lets grab it with both hands, ,organise a strong committed negotiating team to represent a Lurcher/working dog association and get ourselves the best chance to put our pass time on the front of the table in any future possible amendments and legislation.
