As part of the @ace_national funded & @NoMoreNowt commissioned DOGPEOPLE, I'm looking to interview people with memories of former County Durham flapping tracks for a podcast series I'm making with @bridgetwriting. If you went to any of these tracks, I'd love to hear from you!
DOGPEOPLE. Image of Wheatley Hill Greyhound Stadium. Five dogs running up a sandy oval while a large crowd cheers on. 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.

If you pay attention to young people, the lost, the marginalised, you can help the movement grow. @DegreesNYC makes sure their youth council is always at the table - “If you’re not at the table, you’re probably on the menu” @MinLaKi #Locality23

Collaboration takes time and is expensive… community orgs need to work together to reach critical mass.

It costs community organisations about £20k just to *apply* to deliver a local service, so most don't bother, says @LiviButt. Our panel say councils & NHS must change how they buy stuff: collaboration not competition. Local communities need to work together better too #Locality23
