Folks I just need to clear up a wee misunderstanding. The Trophy for Thomas Mc Cormack on the 8th of September is not related in any way with the fund raiser we are planning in the near future for Thomas family with kind permission from Tommy senior. Details of the fund raising event will be made public when we have firm details. Sorry about this misunderstanding, I should have made it clearer. Thanks John. -

Ireland Lure Only Days During The Winter Months
Dazzam posted a topic in Gamefairs, Meet Up's and Events
As the show season is coming to an end and the hunting season has now begun would there be much of an interest in having a number of lure only days during the winter. Not everyone hunts their dogs and I have spoken to lots of people at the various shows who never get the opportunity to school their dogs on the lure due to not having a lure or they don't have anyone to help them operate the lure and slip the dogs etc etc. There are dogs out there who showed little interest in chasing the lure but after a bit of schooling turned out to be great dogs. Also it will help people who have pups during -

A Very Kind Sportsman I was sitting at the ringside in Birr Castle, when Denis Couch from Co Cork, a gentleman who I have got to know over my years at the Dog shows North and South of the border . Denis was carrying too large bags in his hand, and said, Margaret these are for you and your club. I said Dennis, I am a member and committe member of 2 clubs, the Sporting Whippet Club NI and the Nilrc. Well these are for you Margaret. In the bags were a beautiful large Heart Shaped Shield and and a beautiful large Silver cup. Well Margaret, Denis says in his lovely Cork accent, take one for each
