Let me please say this and I really mean it from the bottom of my heart,you put on a great dog show yesterday at Halls Mills, reaching out the hand of friendship to every single person who came in the gate ,with your generosity, kindness and good humour and a never ending flow of Christma

    Nothing at the moment Storm 2010, ground to hard at this time of year for racing. There is coursing at Green Road, Dowdalls Hill Dundalk, on Boxing day, and the day after. A great curer after Xmas, and also a great day out.We have been there now 3 years running, and to be honest, I am looking forward to it this year again.Unfortunately last year the snow put a damper on proceedings, but it was still held a few days later.

    No Pigsy, went to Comber open show last week with Reilly, our Whippet who got very highly commended,Could not take Silver as she is ready to pup any of these days now.But I can say with hand on heart, there were many working whippets at that show.By the way Reilly is the father of the pups,who sneaked in behind our backs,beleive me this was not planned. No the only dog we put into the working class at the lurcher shows is Amber our lurcher or Jessy.and yes we will attend the championship shows in the winter, we may not enter all of them, but sure when you are getting older, and the days are g

    Yes Nancy you want an honest answer,you will get one. Yes we did hunt our dogs to tragedy hit our family a few years ago. We hunted 3 nights a week and some weekends with my nephew the late Charlie Connolly from Monaghan, and I know quite a few of the huntsmen on this forum knew and hunted with Charlie as well,to Charlie lost his young life in very tragic circumstances which I will not discuss on this forum. Nancy I dont know if you have ever experienced tragedy, or lost someone very dear to you,but God it hurts and hurts very deeply into the soul. This put our hunting days almost away for g

If 2 dates does happen to overlap, it will give each club time to discuss and sort out between themselves.Lets compile a list so every club or organiser can have a look at the list, and If the list has to be ammended beca

    Ian Greers Farm Portglenone was the venue for the Bann – Valley Lurcher, Whippet & Terrier Show yesterday Saturday 24th September 11. What an ideal place to hold the last show of the season, with a back ground of scenery of the beautiful Portglenone country side. This show was run by Ian , Arlene, and Nigel Greer and family, and I can honestly say without fear of contradiction, these people were the most welcoming and homely people I have ever met, and done everything in their power they could possibly do to run a very successful show and to make everybodys day a very enjoyable o
