Welcome back to the first GBGB Calendar since mid-March. It has without doubt been a long wait, not least for those trainers and owners most affected, but I am delighted that we can finally usher in the return of Open Racing following the lockdown. 6LQFHWKHJRYHUQPHQW·VHDVLQJRIUHVWULFWLRQVSDYHGWKHZD\IRU this from 29th June, tracks and colleagues at GBGB have been hard at work on the major race calendar for the remainder of the year. Whilst smaller than usual, we are proud to publish a list of Category One finals in this GBGB Calendar and see the return of many of our premier competitions on the horizon. We hope that this will be added to in the coming weeks and months. This also follows the much-anticipated confirmation of the 2020 English Greyhound Derby dates – to be held at Nottingham Greyhound Stadium in October ²SURYLQJRXUVSRUW·VGHWHUPLQDWLRQWRJHWILUPO\EDFNRQWUDFN,GRQRWXQGHUHVWLPDWHWKH considerable efforts that have gone into making this happen given the current circumstances, but I know you will agree it is hugely positive news for our sport. It is clear that our successful return has been possible thanks to the hard work, loyalty and cooperation of you all, as well as the ongoing support and patience of dedicated owners. At GBGB, our priority throughout this period has been to keep our people and greyhounds safe while guiding our sport into a position to restart responsibly and swiftly. I was proud to see racing flying the flag for the return of UK sport on the 1st June with tracks, trainers and their VWDIIDGDSWLQJTXLFNO\WRWKHVDIHW\DQGK\JLHQHSURFHGXUHVZKLFKGHILQHRXU¶QHZQRUPDO· Whilst Open Racing marks the next significant step forward, we know that these are still challenging times for some across our industry. We will continue to support those trainers unable to get back racing through our Emergency Welfare Payments. As we have seen, the situation is constantly evolving. We hope that before too long the pressures caused by the JRYHUQPHQW·V¶EHKLQGFORVHGGRRUV·UHTXLUHPHQWVFDQEHHDVHG Throughout the highs and lows of the lockdown period, one thing that has been apparent is the unity our community has displayed when faced with an immense challenge such as this. Throughout, greyhound welfare has remained the number one priority for our trainers and owners. The cessation of racing has also been a time to reflect on new ideas for the future of our sport. It is clear that there are lots of opportunities ahead and we look forward to working alongside stakeholders across the sport to harness these over the coming years. We have every hope that we are not far from the fifth and final phase of our COVID- 19 Operational Policy, as set out at the start of May, and we will be keenly awaiting the government changes we need to progress into this. We are in a very different place to where we were just a couple of weeks ago and hopefully, before long, we will be in the position where we can safely welcome owners and fans back to our tracks. In the meantime, I thank you for your continued support and hope you and your families remain safe and well.

  • Sydney Mcgregor and Lillington Stud Farm
    Sydney McGregor and Lillington Stud Farm It’s now just a memory and a bus stop, but from the mid 1920’s until 1961, horses bred by Sydney McGregor at Lillington Stud Farm won all the most famous races of Britain, Ireland and France, including the Derby, the Grand National, the Cheltenham Gold Cup and the Grand Prix de Paris. Up to a hundred horses each year were bred in Lillington and sold all over the world, to clients including the Aga Khan and the Queen Mother, all recorded in the Stud Books which Sydney’s great nephew Andrew McGregor still has in his possession. Sydney’s grandfather was Henry Burn McGregor (1820 – 1895), who married a Leamington girl, Keziah Ivens, and moved from Edinburgh to set up in business as a jobmaster, horse dealer and omnibus proprietor about 1860, at first from the stables of the Oak Inn in Radford Road, later in Bedford Street, and lastly at the Bath Mews behind the Bath Hotel. His hourly horse omnibus service provided the first public transport between Warwick and Leamington. When the Leamington & Warwick tramway opened in 1881, Henry McGregor provided the horses. A jobmaster ran something like a taxi service, hiring out horses and carriages with drivers to the middling sort of Leamington residents who could not afford to keep their own in town. He also stabled horses for visitors, and hired out horses to visitors for hunting, then very popular in the country round about. Henry’s youngest son, Eddie McGregor (1861 – 1950), bought the livery stable business from his father in 1892, and in 1897 moved it to the Binswood Mews in Trinity Street, living next door with his wife Eliza and two young sons, Sydney and Edward, at Kelso Villa, 38 Binswood Avenue.

At the time, the Survey Department’s inadequate equipment and failure to coordinate small surveys were delaying the expansion of settlement. Mitchell argued for importing better equipment and conducting a general survey of the colony. He also oversaw the creation of the first road network.
