first class pictures bluebell...as usual..keep up the good work like what you done with gypsy

All shows are good big or small....though in MY opinion a much friendlier atmosphere at the smaller shows. I personally don't think anyone should be running down any other show, just because they have leaser prizes or turn out. All shows take a lot of hard work and money to put on....but this is a lot harder for the smaller shows as they often don't have free ground or big sponsors to support them so it is paid for out of their own pocket and most of them give their money to charity...therefore they put more effort in to get a good return.
No one can state to you which show is the best...just the one they enjoyed the most.
You are far better finding out for yourself as there are far to many 'spats' on here. Hope you do come over and have an enjoyable time, which i'm sure you will at whatever show you decide to attend.
yours in sport Ian

Congratulations to all winners On behalf of the N.I.L.R.C. I would like to thank Albert Titterington and everyone involved with the running of Shanes Castle Game Fair for inviting us to run the Racing and Showing, and for all the support that has been given to them in this their 1st year.

On behalf of the folks from forest lodge respite centre we would like to thank Albert Irene The members of the the NILRC for the hospitilyand welcome they received on Sunday at Shanes The carers looking after the children were astounded at the number of folks that took time to say hello to the childern .The carers have already ask what date is Shanes on next year so they can looking forward it and trying to fix the shift rota.
The showing went well guilding from class to class without a hitch well done to the NILRC and judges who pressed on even in the heavy showers A BIG well done to Dessie Mackin in taking the over all champion with a beautiful wee terrier Sorry I never got the name of the guy with the lurcher but well done a useful and obedient wee lurcher would love to see this wee lurcher work, And my own wee bitch Lady done us proud yet again lifting the All Ireland whippet champion title for the 3rd time . Under the wachful eye of Graham (Vermin catcher) Who's dog won the working whippet class Graham kept us all fed on burgers and hot dogs, He was still sitting at the barb a que when we left Prehaps Albert might need to check that he has left the field he seemed to have enough grub to do him for a fortnight .
On behalf of the NILRC I would like to thank Sammy and the kids from the Forest Lodge Respite Centre for their generous donation of prizes for the young handlers hunting dog/bitch classes on Sunday. It was great to the see their smiling faces and we hope to see them at more venues in the future.
