Located in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, the club has been holding Canadian Kennel Club sanctioned lure coursing trials since 1980. At the present time we are holding two weekend trials per year, usually in the spring and fall. Please <a href="mailto:alca_admin@alcaedmonton.com">E-Mail</a> for more information.Solodoghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08026192227635495657noreply@blogger.comBlogger26125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-462441171063966357.post-65099056749427498622013-10-19T22:14:00.000-06:002013-10-19T22:14:31.446-06:00Thanksgiving Trial October 12, 2013It was a wonderful Thanksgiving Trial on October 12/13. A one day trial, which was new for ALCA. It went very well and everyone had a good time, I hope. We couldn't have wished for better weather, sunny and warm! The full turkey Thanksgiving lunch was something to remember. <p>
As this years trials and events are coming to a close we will be preparing for the coursing season of 2014. Once again we will be holding a two day trial in the spring and again in the fall. We are also considering holding another one day Thanksgiving Trial. Please keep checking the <a href="http://www.alcaedmonton.com/">ALCA</a> website for more current information.<p>

<br />
For those of you who came to our trial this past weekend I hope you all had a great time and everyone and dog are doing fine with a little bit of rest behind them. I don't think we could have asked for better weather and such a great scenic field, well, at least I think so.<br />
<br />
As I mentioned at the trial I would send out the address for ALCA's Blog and here it is:<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.albertalurecoursingassociation.blogspot.com">http://www.albertalurecoursingassociation.blogspot.com<br />
</a><br />
<br />
However, today a new begining is happening with our brand new good looking WEB PAGE! up for the world to see.<br />
<br />
Check out the pictures of the trial, you may be in them, or, your dog may be front and centre, on the "events" page. Cudos to Robyn for the great picture taking.<br />
As time progresses I expect that the web page will grow and have lots of information about what ALCA is doing and all about up-coming trials and practices. Hummm....the weather is so great maybe we should hold one in December? nah, that's pushing a bit I think.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.alcaedmonton.com/"><br />
http://www.alcaedmonton.com/</a><br />
<br />
So, that's all for now. If you like it, let us know, if not, suggestions for what you would like to see?<br />
<br />
A BIG thanks to all who came and participated at our trials, our sponsors, and finally all the club members, who, without all their dedication ALCA would not be able to put the show on.Solodoghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08026192227635495657noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-462441171063966357.post-73367548201882820752011-08-23T22:49:00.000-06:002011-08-23T22:49:06.052-06:00ALCA Septermber Trial Field ChangeHi All,<br />
<br />
Just to let you know that the field for our September 3 and 4 trial has been moved. It is still at Olsen's Field just a different field on the same property. Access will be through the gate just north of our usual spot approximately 1/2 kilometer (coming from the South or 1/2 kilometer less if coming from the North). We will sign the entrance. It is a dirt road leading to a parking area.<br />
<br />
The field has been mowed so there should be no tall grass for the dogs to get lost in. Although not as large as the other field, the sightlines are far better so setting up the course will be much easier. The hills will be a test of the hounds but nothing too extreme. The field itself offers great spectator vantage points. The parking & benching area is atop a rise & the field slopes down from it. The terrain is hilly grass, more groomed by far than what the pasture is. Camping is available. There are port-a-potties! no line ups.<br />
<br />
Note that course plans will be amended to suit new terrain. Comparable distances.<br />
<br />
Questions?<br />
<br />
Ask.<br />

I thought it went really well. Goodies to eat were very good! Besides thinking of my stomach, lots of things were accomplished and are now on the go. The new executive is now established and a few new ideas for our Lure Coursing trials are in the works. More to come as developments pick up momentum. We are out to try and make lure coursing more fun for the club members and for the people that attend our trials. The Trike is back up and running---the ride-on lawn mower was a tad bit too slow to re-string with, but, that was better than having to do it the old fashioned way, walking!<br />
<br />
Next on the Agenda, well, Christmas----It tends to be a quiet time of the year for the club in terms of outdoor activities but other things are going on, like, Bunch. Love these get-togethers, seems that we hardly recognize each other when we put on our "glad-rags" instead of the regular "field togs". Practices will be announced later towards spring and our trials will be announced when CKC gives use our dates, hopefully the ones we submitted.<br />
<br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Dissatisfaction with the way the CKC has handled the financial affairs of the club and an underlying symptom of bad management of Lure Coursing in General. The CKC simply is not interested in Lure Coursing! Period. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">It has been suggested that Lure Coursing in <place w:st="on"><country-region w:st="on">Canada</country-region></place> go back to its original roots of the CSFA (Canadian Sighthound Field Association). Disassociate from the CKC and go back to holding trials under CSFA rules. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">What do you think?</span><br />
