The HTA Dog Produce stakes will take place on the 1st June kindly hosted on behalf of the HTA by the Whitehaven Area. As an Area they have done a marvelous job and have managed to get all the trails at the Dog produce collectively sponsored by thirty seven Freemasons in the province of Cumberland and Westmorland. The Hound Trailing Association would like thank all those concerned in facilitating this and those who have provided the sponsorship money. It is very generous and kindly received by the Association.

There will be catering tomorrow night at Potters Park. Herdy’s Hut. Please can we support his attendance.
