Sports Track Challenge
18/09/09 15:02 Filed in: Stories
There are plans to create a regular informal get together amongst Greyhound Staff, Owners, Trainers etc to be called the ‘Sports Track Challenge’.
They are hoping to trial this in the South and if successful will branch out all over the country. Currently the tracks involved are Harlow, Romford, Crayford, Henlow, Sittingbourne and Wimbledon.
Staff from these tracks will get together at Harlow’s Harlequin Suite for an informal night of Poker, Darts and Pool. It is hoped that they will meet every 2-4 weeks on a Sunday with a 4pm start and it is open to anyone involved with greyhounds. The bigger this becomes then leagues can be introduced and eventually football matches arranged and inter-track greyhound racing.
This will go to all tracks and a proposed introductory first date will be on Sunday 27th September which is the date of the 40th Greyhound Breeders Festival. This starts at 1pm and anyone interested in the get together can stay at the same venue from 6pm onwards.
There is hope this will spread up to the Midlands and to Northern tracks too.
If anyone is interested in sponsorship or any other info, please contact Maurice Newman on 0208 925 7915 or Mick Davis at the stadium on 01279 426804.
The address for those who don’t know it is: Harlow Greyhound Stadium, The Pinnacles, Roydon Road, Harlow, Essex CM19 5DY.
