Steve Hurst from Lurcherworld has asked me to say that the show is definitely on this Sunday & Monday

Yes we did, the Derbyshire Lurchers & Longdogs

Catton Park is on the 9th & 10th April this year.

No Terriers docked after April 2007 to be shown Guess I won't be going then.... Hi there With the way the law is all we can do is put in a disclaimer "advising" you that they "shouldn't" be shown if you get my drift. Obviously we can't always check these things out.

The website for this show is www.dll.me.uk hope this helps.

Simulated coursing entries taken from 9.30 racing will follow the coursing.

The show at Sth. Wingfield is on the 3rd April, was supposed to be on the 20th March originally but had to change the date.

Your right even if they bought the rosettes & trophies it's still too dear, we organise and run shows over here in England, provide our own trophies and rosettes and still only charge £1 or £2 per entry.Thought that AlbertJ might have had the courtesy to reply but there you go.

It seems you haven't answered my question yet which is a shame as if it is the MA club providing everything then people would perhaps understand better why it's so expensive to enter a class.

AlbertJ Just as a matter of interest who actually pays for the rosettes and trophies and prize money for the shows, as I understand it's around £4 for each entry into the lurcher & terrier classes which goes to the Mid Antrim club. If they are providing the rosettes and trophies then they do need recompense even though it seems quite dear, if they are not then why does it need to be that expensive as they have not imo had a significant outlay to justify it.

the Basc game fair in Scotland isn't on this year and the Gamekeepers Fair is the 9th & 10th April and I think that the Basc Wales & Borders game fair may not be on either

Dukie, That is the decision of those show organisers but what we have CONCENTRATED ON and will continue to do so is to give the terrier & lurchers their proper place amongst the other competitions with now equivalent or better competition prize structure while at the same time offering them a two shows for the price of one concession for Ballywalter and Shanes Castle. £10 for two events - can anyone tell me what game or country fairs offer terrier & lurcher owners ACTUALLY ENTERING the Fairs better admission rates? For Shanes and Birr we also offer Terrier & Lurcher owne

As well as the shows that Leeview pointed out that were outside the fair or free entry for lurchers & terriers the Gamekeepers Fair at Catton Park is also outside the main fair with the option to pay through to the main showground. In my experience lurcher & terrier owners who attend to race & show seldom get further than the ringside anyway so its a lot to pay out for them

All qualifiers who attend the championship receive a momento for qualifying, if you've qualified you'll receive a ticket to attend in the next couple of weeks. Hope to see you there. Dukie

I spoke to Alan Tyre about a month ago and he said that he wasn't doing it any more and he wasn't sure the Lurcher & Terrier show was on.
