One of our fondest memories from our trip to southern England 25 years ago was stumbling upon a community race track where the locals met to race their greyhounds. Does anyone know of any such places in the Cotswolds?

the website for greyhound racing in the UK is at www.thedogs.co.uk/ it has a LOT of useful information.<BR><BR>The closest tracks to the Cotswolds are Oxford, Swindon and Reading.

Janis:<BR>Yikes! This site looks really official. . . I'll certainly have a look, but I was hoping we might find a small track with a less formal format. Maybe we were just lucky on our last trip. Anyway, thanks for your help.

Have a look - some of those tracks are quite small.

There's a whole branch of 'unofficial' greyhound racing known, I believe, as 'flapping'. What you found may have been entirely respectable and community fun, but in some I wouldn't ask too many questions. And to be a real party-pooper, the dogs themselves can get a raw deal when they're of no further use even to people in the big official circuits/
