    Thankfully as event organisers of the National Countrysports Fair and the Ballinlough Castle Country Fair, our primary focus is on protecting as many of our respective countrysports and country ways of life as possible, through working to ensure they are preserved for future generations. This too is the ethos of those we work with before, during and after our events. We have no time for gameplay, are even less worried by it and certainly will not be dragged into it.
