Text: DOGPEOPLE is a combined arts project centred around independent greyhound racing, or ‘flapping’, in County Durham. Funded by an Arts Council National Lottery Project Grant and commissioned by No More Nowt, DOGPEOPLE is run by award-winning writer, member of the independent greyhound racing community and licensed greyhound trainer Dr Louise Powell, in partnership with No More Nowt, Redhills CIO, New Writing North, The Story at Mount Oswald and Wheatley Hill Heritage Centre. Louise is working with audio editor Bridget Hamilton on a podcast. She is focusing on flapping tracks which came under the boundary of pre-1974 County Durham, ranging from tracks which now lie derelict to tracks now licensed by the GBGB. Louise would like to interview people who attended Belle Vue, Coundon, Easington, Hartlepool, Pelaw, Spennymoor, Sunderland, Wheatley Hill.
