No wonder all the people in Havering (Romford Hornchurch etc) are multi millionaires. Stingey old ***, didn't you tell him you're a student and even Peacocks offer discounts to students Yvonne

thats really interesting Cass, it never occurred to me that i might be able to get hold of pics/dvd's of my houndies racing. Apollo did a couple of races at Brighton but i cant find any pics of him on that web site so maybe they didnt get any of him. The rest of his (very very short) racing career was at Romford & storm only ever raced at Romford so id be really interested to see if they have anything of either of them there. Do you think you could put up the link to the mans web site or perhaps PM his number so i could speak to him?

hey all, i recieved an email from romford stadium with a number for there video man..... Hey Cass I'm with Storm & Apollo's mum - please could you post up the number for this chap - and you aren't stingy - £5 a photo isn't cheap sweetie - especially not when you are on a budget Both our two raced at Romford (Vinny only ever raced there (55 times in all) and Gracie Lu had her last two or three at Henlow but prior to that she was only at Romford too) I have been desperately trying to work out how to get pics and info and video footage and such like I haven't even got their books - I don't suppose we will ever get Vinny's cos he was in a home for 2 years prior to finding his forever home with us...so it's probably long gone Anyway - this whole thread has been very exciting to read - from seeing the beautiful pics of Mousha as a pup and the wonderful image of Bertie at full stretch on the site - and dear Patrick in his 'before and after' poses ;D Wonderful Alison & Nicky - I bet Frank and Betty look amazing on their dvds We should have a dvd night lol! I would so love to see everyone's dogs running ;D We let Gracie Lu off lead for the first time a couple of weeks back (in the lovely enclosed walk area we go to)and to watch her and Vinny run together - well I captured it on my camera video - and I couldn't help it they were amazing and so beautiful and I know I am a daft soppy s*d but it made me cry! I really hope we can get some footage and some images of our two - they already have their pics (along with the purry furry one) up around the house - but it would be amazing to see how they looked as their alter egos x

Course I will, I'm working tomorrow so will be able to post all the numbers and info for you tomorrow nearly evening (currently typing this on my phone in bed lol) they may have there books still as I think they are saved for archive purposes :-) so I will get he peoples info to you!! It's not silly at all crying when you get to see them running, I had tears in my eyes when bertie first ran for fun...wanted to cry but my sister was there plus her boyfriend!!! So had to hold them back :-)
oh and the DVD night sounds fab!!! ;D I'm getting my friend who has a fantastic but mega expensive camera to take some pictures of bertie relaxing an also with him running and have them blown up to go on my wall ;D

Thanks Cass, ur a star ;d Ive emailed both Terry Brown @ Hove, & Dave Vincent @ Romford so will see what, if anything, comes back when i first brought both of them home i called the racing office at Romford (they both had their final races there) and i asked them to send me whatever they had, and i got back for Storm, a copy of her vaccination record & sheet detailing her colour/markings and a copy of her racing history. For Apollo i only got his vaccination record & the sheet with his colour/markings. Just wondering if anyone got anything different to this?
