AlbertJ posted a topic in Gamefairs, Meet Up's and Events
TWO IRISH CANINE LEGENDS to be honoured by the Great Game Fairs of Ireland in 2017. The GGF of Ireland team have built up an enviable reputation for promoting both human and animal history. We have been running a Master McGrath tribute championship for elite lurchers for several years ( at Shanes) and in 2017 this will be joined by a Mick the Miller Championship ( at Birr) for non elite lurchers. As we have explained before the connection of Shanes with Master McGrath is through my co founder Major William Brownlow's ancestor being the owner of the great dog and Mick the Miller was o -

Montalto Game Fair Saturday 24th September and Sunday 25th September 2016 As I looked out the window early Saturday morning, a brisk autumn wind blew through the trees, sending waves of leaves floating over the dog pens, and the rain was coming down in buckets. I firmly believe this was natures way of telling our faithful Canine friends, the end of the showing season was on the horizon and their weekly excursions to the show ring and race track is coming to an end, and their work in the field must now begin. Yes, it was time to leave Portadown for the weekend and head to the beau

DWTC DOG SHOW AND RACE DAY AT ANNAGHMORE RACE TRACK SUNDAY 18TH SEPTEMBER16. Up bright and early Sunday morning as another new dawn was breaking, with the September dew still on the grass, trailer and dogs in tow, we set off into the County Armagh Countryside, headed for the town land of Annaghmore and the now famous Annaghmore Race track. Deep in the heart of Orchard County, this brilliant race track was the perfect venue for Sundays Charity Dog show and Race day. This dog show was a little bit special, as it was in aid of “PIPS,” a very worthy and needy charity nowadays.

Pluck and Smurf Charity Dog Show and Race Day at Burndennet Cricket Club, Strabane, Co Tyrone Sunday 21st August 16. As we approached the bridge at Strabane, and took the turn for Burndennet Cricket Club, I think Pluck and Smurf were busy up above getting the weather adjusted to suit their very special Memorial Show and Race day. All the way down the motorway it was raining heavy, but once we reached the cricket club the rain had stopped and did not start again to the end of the show. As this show was for charity, and in memory of 2 great hunting men who have left this world, the good
