Ireland Meeting Like Minded People At Fairs
AlbertJ posted a topic in Gamefairs, Meet Up's and Events
One of my objectives in running fairs was to provide a meeting place for like minded people - in short a similar objective to this forum. I am all for free speech but as the moderators have said on here there should be much more that unites us rather than divides us. I regret to say that any animal rights person 'listening in' would be delighted by the friction generated whereas arranging through the forum to meet up and discuss could be a better way to resolve differences of opinions. 'Hands up' - I too have posted more heated comments than I should have! In the past when people and I have me -
Has anyone any info on how the kilworth harrier show went today? I couldn't make it.

Congratulations to Pat McGrath from Carlow who won the Master McGrath Challenge with his dog Joey. The heats had some of the tightest finishes ever including John Humpries dog Rebel beating Fiona Devlin's dog by a nose. My congratulations to the NILRC and the Bannside Club for organising two excellent days of sport for the lurcher, terrier and whippet community and for the sporting manner in which the results were taken. Three fine dogs in the final of the All Ireland Championships Show with Des Mackin's terrier pipping a lovely little lurcher and a fine whippet. Judges Tom Barry, Tracy Gill -

Ireland Objection System At Shanes Castle Fair
AlbertJ posted a topic in Gamefairs, Meet Up's and Events
It is unfortunate that after quite a few terrier, whippet and lurcher events we get allegations of cheating, unfair judging, poor line judging decision, breeding of dogs etc. To make sure the terrier, lurcher and whippet events at the Game Fair at Shanes Castle are run as fairly as possible- as I indicated in an earlier post - anyone can make an objection on the basis of making it a formal written objection and lodging £40 with me or at HQ. The objection will be investigated by a committee that I will put together with a member of the organising club, myself and an independent person -
