A TRIBUTE TO THE LATE JIMMY SCOTT, A TOP DOGGIE MAN IN OUR COUNTRY SPORTS FRATERNITY, WHO LEFT THIS WORLD ON Christmas Day. I Am Free Do not grieve for me now my friends and family, I am free. I am following the path God Laid for me. I took his hand when I heard him call, I turned my back and left it all. I could not stay another day to show, to live , to hunt, to fish or play. I found my peace at close of day. Be not burdened with this time of sorrow I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow. Perhaps my time seemed all to brief. Do not lengthen it

THE TALLY HO WORKING DOG SHOW AND RACEDAY SATURDAY 17th AUGUST 24 As I drew back the curtains on a mild August morning, my inner thoughts were telling me to get loaded up and on our way to the Tally Ho Working Dog Show and Race day in Ballee Park, Ballymena, Co Antrim. And what a show that was. Peter always produces a top class show and Saturdays show was no different.
