The abbreviation stands for “Windhondenvereniging Coursing Nienoord Leek”, previous WindhondenRenVereniging (WRV) Nienoord te Leek and before that “WRV Martinistad”. Since April 2000 we have adapted our name to our most important activity: coursing.
Association history
The association was founded in 1955 under the name WRV Martinistad. Once there was an emphatic relationship with the city of Groningen, but there was never a race track in that place. After various wanderings, the club moved to Leek in 1965 and our coursing grounds are in the summer months on the ice rink at the Nienoord Estate.
The WvCNL is recognized by “Raad van Beheer op Kynologisch Gebied”. From 1980 onwards, we started to focus more and more on coursing and track racing became a background. That is why we changed our name in 2000 and became the first coursing club in the Netherlands. That is also the main reason why we have members throughout the Netherlands, but also in Germany and Belgium.
