About
The National Coursing Club
The National Coursing Club (NCC) was formed in 1858 and has controlled greyhound coursing since then, in the same way that the Jockey Club controls racing.
In 1882 the NCC created the original Greyhound Stud Book, which it has administered ever since. From that date the breed was "closed". All the greyhounds running today on track and field in Britain, Ireland, America and Australia trace directly to Waterloo Cup winners of the past like Farndon Ferry. → Read more

Lure Coursing at Fakenham Countryside Raceday
A great day out was had by all at the Fakenham Countryside Race Day on Friday 17 February!
The Kimberley & Wymondham Greyhound Club ran an eight-dog lure coursing stake before the Hound Parades, all before a full card of National Hunt racing, and race-goers were also able to let their dogs ‘have a go’ up the course after the lure. Enormous thanks to racecourse chief David Hunter whose never-ending support for hunting and coursing made it all possible! Click ‘read more’ for the results!
