Participant registration / Attendant registration

For example, someone who catches or handles greyhounds at a race meeting or a trial must be registered as an attendant. Someone who assists with caring for greyhounds kept by a family member would be required to register as an attendant if they also wish to assist with and handle the greyhounds at a race or trial.

This registration allows you to:This does not allow you to:
  • Handle greyhounds at race meetings or trials
  • Act as a catcher at race meetings.
  • Own a greyhound
