A Message from your chairman.

To all members and hound trailing followers throughout Cumbria and further afield.

Memories of 2001 come  flooding back as once more hound trailing is in the grip of a ban.

How long for?  judging by what you read and what is said, pure guesswork is the answer!

Based on present calculations mid June is predicted, how long is a piece of string ?

If that is the case then trailing will proceed on a Championship basis on and around the beginning of July

Therefore May Day will be cancelled , the International will be postponed and the Dog produce will be run in October.

when trailing gets the go ahead there will be a trial period where the Fixture list will contain the trail meetings but the minimum time will be altered  on a similar basis to march trials.

An Attempt will be made to ensure that when trailing resumes it will be on “a level playing field ” and on that note it is legal to run a practice trail as long as there is only two of you !

I hope, like the rest of you , that this virus will run its course as quickly as possible and we can get back to normality,

Monopoly, trivial pursuits, betting shop and pub shut  are not my “cup of tea.”
