Great result today! Lots to leverage and learn from today’s win. This will not be the last attack on our way of life...... but we can continue to live it in a sensible, balanced and controlled manner.

It looks for Northern Ireland postcodes as it only emails the MLAs you can vote for. Then then know they are being contacted by someone they will rely on for a vote in the forthcoming election. When you fill it out it automatically sends an email to your local MLAs. They can also double check they are legit by check them against the electoral register.
let’s hope the northern lads respond

Petition is launched backing bill to ban hunting with dogs

A petition has been launched by the League Against Cruel Sports to support the passing of a Private...The league are busy. Let’s hope hunting men also get busy!

Looks like it needs a N.I. Postcode. I put in one I knew in Belfast and an address with options came up.

Lads... please complete Countryside Alliance e-lobby. It’s the least people can do is click a few buttons. No matter where you are support the fight and don’t let the Antis take the high moral ground or beat us at the numbers game!

Just to clear a few points up corkman, brexit will never starve me, me and my dogs can fend for ourselves, I don’t do Facebook, WhatsApp or Tik Tok but are you saying the people that do are in the wrong?, I enjoy the odd pint now and again, are you saying I should stop and plough all my extra money into the terrier clubs? am I a complainer that does f**k all and drag everybody else down?, no I’m not but you don’t f***ing know me, of the times when I was arrested and prosecuted for Badger digging not once did anybody from my club phone or contact me to ask what had occurred, never asked if the dogs were ok, or even to find out if I was guilty or innocent of the said offences, they simply didn’t want to know, yet I still paid my dues the following year and will continue to do so, after one such arrest this terrier man told me it wasn’t good that the press release stated we were members of the terrier club, I bet he didn’t think me punching him in his mouth was any good either, you seem an opinionated little shit so get off your high horse and take your holy than thou attitude and shove it where the Sun don’t shine.
Yours In Sport.
P.S. take your tongue out of Wade’s arse cheeks it’s not a good look trust me you f***ing nonce.
First of all my response was not directed at you although I did quote your reply. It was a general comment.
Simply pointing out the F&M is a separate entity from the NWTF. And “if” lads can afford it why not support both. I didn’t exactly ask you to go on the wagon or forsake a family holiday. Just pointing out that some would rather buy a pint than support their own organisations.
As for having a strong opinion. You bet I do, but it is a well educated one that I put to very good use in defending our game. And I’m not that little either.
As for having admiration for Mr Wade. If you really knew what’s he’s actually done for your pastime you might be fighting me for a ride off him
Barrie has them queuing up.

14 New Clubs have recently joined the IWTF up North in recent months with the support of local reps. Fair play to lads for joining up and caring enough to make the effort.

Fell & Moorland a member club of NTWF so if you’re a F&M member there’s no need to join the other, money’s better off in your pocket pal, atb
Why not support both? not as if lads can’t afford a few quid these days. Brexit hasn’t starved ye “yet”
Correct me if I’m wrong but the Fell & Moorland is a working terrier organisation for promoting Terrierwork, rescues and protects working strains. Fell and Moorland “Club” is a member of the NWTF.
The NWTF is a National “Federation” of Working Terrier Clubs that fights to promote and maintain Terrierwork on a political front ably run by Mr B. Wade.
In my mind “everyone” who works a terrier should be a member. The amount of work these guys do on your behalf in the background is immense.Lads too interested these days in Facebook, WhatsApp, TickTok, etc or beer, pissing their coin up against the wall than throwing a few quid and price of a pint to support the cause? Same lads are always the complainers and do f**k all but drag us down.
People across the pond are damn lucky to have Mr B.Wade representing them. These lads could do with all the support they can get. Setting up a local club/ group is simple.
Support them!

I think a massive problem is Facebook. It is easy to point fingers and argue when the going gets tough but if we all pull together surely there is a way of getting on with things. Is there anyway members could collectively get together and get on to Facebook and get those pages down. North Carlow lurcher page is especially bad. Absolutely disgracefull.
I tried to get it closed down. I joined for that purpose only as I was getting so much bad feedback on it. I quickly looked up the lads I knew on it and asked the to contact the admin. Some did to be fair. For my efforts in trying to tidy up their act I got barred from the group for complaining!! And they actually stated I was too much of an Anti? && I’ve done my bit to protect hunting in the country.
A friend raised a very valid point to me yesterday about this site. As they don’t take one bit of notice about genuine complaints he questioned could it be run by Antis? When you think of it this is a great way to collect names and data on stupid people.

So what are WE supposed to do? Sit back and let a handful of ignorant Antis who have found a weak puppet politician to roll out their twisted lies and bigotry.
We turned things around in ROI with some hard work and belief in what we are about.
Where are all the hardy hunting men who love their game, cherish their workers and spend as much time on the land as they can? It’s about time lads started to fight for what they believe in or lose it to a handful of snowflakes and dreamers. Our generation should be ashamed if we lose now what future generations should be entitled to do.
I personally can’t abide by the roll over attitude. Fight the good fight.
Y.I.P.C.-

For ALL Northern Ireland Hunting, Fishing, Shooting or Rural Community supporters. We all need to share this attached link to every hunting, fishing, shooting and farming organisation throughout Ireland both North and South. Any political party that backs this Bill need to be targeted and MLAs, TD’s and Councillors need to realise they will be directly affected starting with John Blair and the entire Alliance Party, then any other party that supports this Act.
Time to start waking up and protect our way of life!! Doing nothing and leaving it to others is not an option! All of us has a duty to work and fight. If this Bill gets through it will affect all hunting in England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland down the road.
See link to Draft Act Below.-

Ger was an absolute gentlemen. We were digging buddies up until he got sick and sadly he had to hand over the working dog as he wouldn't be able to manage him. That broke his heart. We used to have some craic out with the dogs and also when involved with IWTF business. Ger had a great sense of humour and also insight and wisdom of the dog game and every day life. He would study things down to the fine detail and always had a different angle on things. Always making you rethink what you thought you knew. A proud Corkman and of the White Dogs we worked, he invested huge effort into protecting Terrierwork in Ireland. Behind the scenes travelling all over Ireland, taking days off work to meet Department officials in Dublin, Politicians and Ministers relating to the IWTF and always portraying the best side of what we do. I often say that people will never fully realise what he did for Terrierwork in this Country. An honest, quiet and calm individual to those who knew him. He will be sadly missed but for ever remembered for the stamp he put on the Irish Terrier Scene.
RIP Buddy.

Hi,
hope ye are all well during these strange times.
Unfortunately we have had to cancel the IWTF show this year due to Government restrictions around Covid19 and public gatherings.
Can you please let people know.
See you all next year in Cork!

Dont see much up with them pics meself to be honest as ya said seen worse posted on here
With all due respect Chesney you are or have been one of the worst offenders on here in recent times. The fact that you don’t see the harm is actually the worrying part. No offense meant but I wish people would wake up and smell the roses.
Cheers, Corkman

Agree with first sentence but totally disagree with second? I’ve dug to seasoned dogs with various animals in ground including rabbits and ducks! Telling a young man to PTS a young keen pup because a rabbit bolted out of a hole near where she was at wouldn’t be my advice. Keep bringing her to good active holes putting proper game in front of her. Never encourage her to go as it sounds like she certainly doesn’t need it… nice and calm around holes. The more she works the more she “should” settle. If she is to be a clown that trend will show itself over time. Then it’s up to you to see what standards you want to achieve with the dogs you feed.
