LDR 29 Posted August 27, 2008 Report Share Posted August 27, 2008 Been thinking for a bit now about the fact there doesn't seem to be a North East Lurcher Club, i know that it was a lurcher club that brought about the Lurchermania DVD's, Harelaw i think it was called??? Anyway what i was wondering, is would people want to see one set up and be interested in joining such a club and if they were, what sort of things would they expect to gain from being a member.................. A show??? Only working dog members???? open to all??? Competitions??? regular meets???? contacts for nights/days out??? challenging other clubs in lurcher comps etc etc.......... What are your thoughts????????? Quote Link to post

GarryN 5 Posted August 27, 2008 Report Share Posted August 27, 2008 Hi all, they used to hold meetings at Ashington but I can not remember where, never been but I was invited about eight years ago. The Boy that used to run it I think runs the Bullcross show at Pontop? I might be wrong on that mind. I will have a dig about for phone numbers. Quote Link to post

I will have a dig about for phone numbers. the show at pontop isnt just a bull x show and yes there was a few lads running it with some form of lurcher club written on there t-shirts Quote Link to post
chartpolski 20,536 Posted August 27, 2008 Report Share Posted August 27, 2008 "Uplands Lurcher Club"; still going, as far as I know. Cheers. Quote Link to post
P.Carter 0 Posted August 27, 2008 Report Share Posted August 27, 2008 (edited) If all you had was a regular meeting place, where like minded people can talk, have a few drinks and a laugh and I think you'd be onto summot'. Should be a club like it in every area in the country, where they can all meet up every so often and have club competitions and that. Edited August 27, 2008 by P.Carter Quote Link to post

GarryN 5 Posted August 28, 2008 Report Share Posted August 28, 2008 The old grey matter has been working again??? Was it not the Northumberland and Durham Lurcher Club?? Quote Link to post
Gin 496 Posted August 28, 2008 Report Share Posted August 28, 2008 It was the Northumberland and Durham Working Lurcher Club, at Ashington,- shows at Ashington Rugby Club, but i do not think its still going. John Parker from Blyth i think was running it. Anyway, good luck in setting it up LDR,- its long over-due in the North East. As CP was saying, its not just an excuse to "get out" of nappy changing is it LDR. Quote Link to post
