Baz’s Monthly blog- every month.

The first month of the season is behind us, coughing and spluttering into the archives of life.

Caroline has finally admitted to a complete lapse and subsequently invested in kennels and two pups for 2018. One goes by the name of Blaze , which is against the rules , why? , because you are not allowed to call a hound after a former champion,

What has Blaze won? ,nothing ,! but it is Prudence’s kennel name and Ed has pointed out the rule.

It has been said that we could save money by having no toilets at the big events, not so judging by the queue at Helton , but you have to take into consideration there were no objects to hide behind or barns to p*** in. Did Sarah wet her pants when , unexpectedly , in mid flow , she was surprised. And! would Canny Girl be found if it hadn’t slept the night in the loo at Helton.

It came as a surprise to some to find out that only uniformed officers and their like can halt moving traffic, but! , traffic must take care not to hit pedestrians , therefore scouts ,stand in the middle of the road and wave the flag you are as safe as houses!

Prize Money- Helton £160 – 10 runners – two days later £ 30– 15 runners , weekend Oulton £160 7 runners.

What’s the point in chasing Endure and Marli around Helton when you can run on Wednesday and chase Marli on her own instead.,..

By the way not a bad weekend for “yours truly” four hounds in training and all four “In the Money”.

Controversy at Oulton on Sunday . Why ? the pups and the veterans both completed the course faster than two times Champion Prudence “,can’t be done “said Anon,” just has” was the reply.

. Caroline and myself were scouting on Sunday , we rang in to say that two pups and three veterans were missing . the reply “All accounted For”. Can we count , of course we can  we just didn’t look early enough on the “beck edge”.

By the way the bosses navigational skills  have improved but it is a good job that Kirkbride and Bridekirk are not in the same week, We would spend all night at Bothel  Left or Right? LOL.
