Yep, the schedule is in the files section here. After the War, I will 'try' to remember to bring back all the class outlines and scan them in and upload them as well, with the permission of the teachers, of course. .As next year's GW Kennel Lands, I would like to put out a plea now that we try to get another breed on board; this year has been Deer hound and Borzoi, how about Salukis amd Afghans for next year? I think if any need help with the documentation part of the requirements, THL Randwulf may have some of the research done for you, if you but ask him.... We would only need 4 salukis, the way I figure it, that means Jennifer and Jami'a if the two of you were planning to come, we'd have it made... Lady Caitrin Who loves to see ALL the sighthounds she can!
Edie Bain <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Jami'a, you really need to come to Gulf War! <G> We do a lot of things for that event that you've mentioned. I just finished mailing out the formal invitations to the Queens' Coursing. I'll be putting small reminder cards in each of their gift bags, as well. We usually have a table set up somewhere in Kennels Lands with books, such as Cummins' "The Hound and the Hawk", a copy of Phoebus' "Book of the Hunt", Branigan's "Adopting the Retired Racing Greyhound". etc. There are several of us that do Greyhound adoption, and we try to have at least contact info from as many different Kingdoms as possible. We also host a "Meet & Greet" for the populace during the event, invite the Pages' School for a visit, and have a full slate of classes in Kennel Lands, on everything from the history of sighthounds, through choosing a sighthound, to cooking and sewing for one's hound. I'll ask Caitrin if she'll upload the Kennel Lands schedule to the files section here for you to look at. Historically, only Greyhounds & IG's have been allowed at GW, but this year we have managed to expand it to allow Borzoi and Scottish Deerhounds, as well. I'd LOVE to see Salukis make an appearance next year! A few people have tried in the past, but have never been able to get the requisite 4 hounds lined up to come. :( Samira > Another thing I would personally love to see is: 1.
