CHAIRMAN
Philip Edgington, I am a Whippet owner who really enjoys seeing the beauty, grace and enthusiasm of sighthounds competing.

HONORARY SECRETARY
Sarah Meadham, owner of Whippets and founding member of UK Sighthound Sport.

HONORARY TREASURER
Kate Bent, I have competed my whippets in sighthound sports since 2015, and have run with UKSS since its inception.

REGISTRAR
Lina Höggren, I have been accompanied by Salukis my whole life and started being involved with sighthound sports in 2004. I very much enjoy watching the happiness of the sighthounds on the field.

James Allen, owner of Salukis. I really enjoy traveling to different locations and meeting people and their enthusiastic hounds.

Carol Edgington, owner of whippets and lover of all Sighthounds. I am fascinated by the nuances in all of the different chase styles. Involved in the sport since 2018.

Natasha Hamilton, servant to a saluki. My heart soars to watch them run. Pure joy and freedom. Happy to be part of the team to help facilitate that.

Lynn Ward, owned by a Saluki. I was introduced to UKSS Lure Coursing in 2020 watching all these wonderful hounds living their best lives is pure joy ! Happy to be a part of this great club and exciting sport.

Stacey Haynes, I am an owner of whippets although I share a deep rooted passion for all sighthounds. These sleek, swift, dogs have such a rich history, each with a unique charm that has captivated humans for centuries. I am passionate about supporting these dogs to demonstrate their natural instincts, capabilities, and personalities, from when they are youngsters, right up until they develop into finely tuned athletes for lure coursing. I wish to encourage and support members to compete here and abroad.

Steve Gardner, I am relatively new to sighthound sports in general, having been involved in whippet racing for only the last five years before concentrating more on the lure coursing side. Along with my wife Di, we have a wonderful little (very little!) whippet who loves nothing better than chasing a bag around a field. We also have an old boy who comes along as cheerleader and a new addition who will hopefully be taking to the field this summer. I love watching the dogs doing what they do best and am keen to help with the running of the club.

Melanie Collins, I live with my two Borzoi, Elin and Eira. I have been involved in lure coursing since 2021 – I still remember how excited I was to spend the day watching sighthounds running. I have found the lure coursing community so welcoming (including to my two children) that l have been able to learn a lot about how different sighthounds are built and why.


Sapphira Parker, owner of whippets , has been competing in lure coursing for 15 years. I absolutely love watching all sighthounds do what they are designed for. In recent years I have also greatly enjoyed going on adventures with my dogs to compete around Europe and the UK.
