WARWICK CLUB

The Warwick Lure Coursing Club was formed in 1997 after the QLCA ran a Lure Coursing demonstration in Warwick.
We started our coursing days at the local showgrounds and after many months of using a drag lure (quite a drag indeed),
Ian Smith built a motorbike for us and away we went !

Fudge, the Border Collie, being released.

We now lease our own grounds from the Council. We are located at Henry Joppich Park, Wentworth Street, Warwick.
Warwick is an easy and pleasant 2 hour drive from Brisbane.
Our Field Trials are run the same way as in Brisbane but on a smaller scale.
Instead of awarding prizes to groups, we allocate 1st, 2nd and 3rd certificates in each breed, and prizes of dog
food to the top ten scores of the day. The Top Dog of the Day receives a towel embroidered with our club logo - very flash !
We don't have a break between the first and second round of runs, having a barbecue lunch at the end of proceedings.
We always have tea, coffee, cold drinks and home cooking for sale too.

First timers,Milo & Lucy, from Goomburra.

We only hold Field Trials on certain dates others times is a Practise morning.
We run the lure as usual and the dogs run frantically as usual, but we don't judge/score etc.
As our numbers for Field Trials are much smaller than Brisbane's we will accept entries
right up until the Friday night before the Trial. You can also just turn up and enter on the day.
