after our discussions yesterday i have had some success–--the Pedigree Whippet Racing Association holds lure coursing meets in a field next to Blair Drummond Safari Park near Stirling - sounds pretty central for most of us (bout 1.5 hours away for me) - they meet most sundays, and are happy for us to go along - they did say if there are only a couple of us we can get a chance to try out our dogs.
Also contacted Sue Rose who organises Deerhound lure coursing - she is at Kinross - again she is very happy for us to go along - they have lots of other breeds who turn up and they try to match size weight for coursing.
Dates to be confirmed - so Basi/Benkura/Lurkis/Noodle i will be in touch!

Great News! :)
It's probably going to be about a 3 hour drive for me, but I'm still up for it. Noticed that there's a Travelodge at Kinross which could come in handy!
I work in retail, so I don't get a lot of weekend time off, but I'm actually off this Sunday. -

This Sunday is my last free Sunday for quite a while (prob Sept). Stirling is about 80 mins drive and Kinross about 3 hours.

made a wee mistake - its racing most sundays at Blair Drummond - they are having a lure coursing day in August. But we could have a go at the racing surely?
