MsKatie Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 Sounds like the 13th might be a goer then if the weather is good - will fire up the kelpie - and the hound may be up for it by then too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hafhafa Hounds Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 ok, glad it's changed to the 13th as I now find I'm busy on the 6th (relaxing before taking 52x 9 & 10 year olds on camp!!! )... Will watch the thread for update... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Rusty Bucket Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 Post 187 has some directions http://www.dolforums.com.au/topic/226484-lure-coursing-in-adelaide-for-non-greyhounds/page__st__160__p__5529109#entry5529109 Park Road is on the left just past Virginia turn off as you go north up Port Wakefield road. Not sure if Google knows it as Virginia or Buckland Park but either should get you near enough to see what it looks like. There's two gates - one off Park St that you get to first that says gun range or shooting or something and then you just take all the turns that lead back towards the road. Or you drive up to Tozer Street and come in that end - if Trevor has opened the gate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bully Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 Pele and I hope to be there on 13th if we get up in time. It's the day after our club's night obedience trial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jacqui835 Posted November 7, 2011 Author Share Posted November 7, 2011 Hey guys, I am hoping that we will be able to go up this weekend, however unfortunately at this stage the lure is undergoing maintenance as unfortunately it's out of order. Trevor says he thinks it should be good to go by this weekend though so fingers crossed and I'll keep updating this thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Rusty Bucket Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 weather's currently forecast to be 29 on Sunday - here's hoping it turns out a bit cooler. What time would our run be if it's all good? ie the earlier the better in terms of coolness. For that I would do the insane early start from far away.

MsKatie Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 I'm in for this Sunday with my 2 if we go early - otherwise the hound doesn't cope too well with the heat - will keep checking the thread for updates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brennan's Mum Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 Does anyone know if these will be regular meets? I am hoping to get a car in January and I think Brennan would love to try it out. Especially if it is in an enclosed environment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Rusty Bucket Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 i think this would be the last one until next year - cos weather gets too hard. But Trevor enjoys hosting us, so I guess it's a much as we organise it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacqui835 Posted November 11, 2011 Author Share Posted November 11, 2011 Hi guys just wanted to give everyone an update, although unfortunately at this stage there is not too much to report. On Monday, I spoke to Trevor and at that stage to his knowledge the lure system had still not been fixed - said that parts are the problem. He did say though that he would try to find out though what the situation was. Unfortunately I haven't heard back from him since, I've sent him a text but I don't want to hound him too much but of course if I hear anything I will post it here. I suppose Sunday is not looking great at this stage, but fingers crossed... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacqui835 Posted November 11, 2011 Author Share Posted November 11, 2011 Hey guys, just heard back from Trevor. He has had a knee operation and is subsequently out of action He actually texted and called because he feels bad but I've reassured him that of course we wouldn't want him to go through any extra pain on our behalf. So no lure coursing this weekend. But if the weather isn't too hot he is more than happy for us to come next weekend. Said he will call on Thursday once we have a better idea of what the weather should be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Rusty Bucket Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 Thanks for the update Jacqui835 Trevor is either a man with a high pain tolerance or very optimistic about how long it takes to get over a knee op... Poor thing. Been there twice myself and took 10 to 14 days to ditch the crutches both times. And the pain took longer to ditch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheshunt Archer Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 Hi everyone, I am new to this website and just found out about this lure coursing thread, I am really keen to bring my 2 whippets up there for a run I was hoping that tomorrow would be on cos I am away next weekend, Will this be an ongoing event for the dogs because you can count me in! I also have a friend with 2 whippets and I am sure he would love to come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
