Yes, there will be coursing at Estrella. Christiean from Caid (I hope I didn't mispell that - not so good with Northern names!) is hostessing/hound mistressing the event. I will be there with my salukis -- at the very least -- on Friday through Sunday. I would come out Thursday too, but I have class that night.
As for learning the ropes, I am (trying to) putting together a mundane ASFA (possibly AKC) coursing group -- so far we have Tucson and Phoenix people who (say they) are getting together for it. But I need all the help I can get!!! It's slow going -- like herding sighthounds, really. But if you are interested in SCA coursing events too or exclusively, I am looking into getting my OWN equipment so I can run events for both ASFA, AKC, and SCA independently! That way I don't have to rely on people who can only meet the 3rd Sunday of the next lunar equinox. Or rely on people who seem to want to run the show and don't run anything. I am so greatful Christiean offered to Mistress Coursing at Estrella for that very reason! There is the perfect book for coursing beginners you may want to grab a copy of -- called "Lure Coursing: Field Trialing for Sighthounds and How to Take Part" by Arthur Beaman. Estrella Coursing: Thurs 9am Fri 3pm Sat 3pm Sun 9am All on the main battlefield. Jonneth ------------------------ Yahoo!
