Was at the show both days and must say it was a very well organised and professionally run show. The judging standard was second to none, well done to all involved.!   There is a lot of work goes i

He'll prop be bunking off today to go kill some rats lol

Myself and Justin Hill have been running this event for 13 years now and this "dogs balls" is certainly not involved,so folks can we please resort back to possitive issue's surrounding shows rather t

Dogs' Balls,

 

Ian would appear to be a gentleman who realises you can have a difference of opinion without resorting to abuse. In fact if you read my post I was not attacking Ian or his organisation of what I think looks a genuinely wideranging terrier & lurcher event which will take a lot of organising BUT rather making a bit of a 'tongue in cheek' response to the claims made by the organisers of the Northern Ireland countryside festival.

 

Since you came on this forum you have been a bit of a 'cheer leader' for the Moira event with a downer on me, our events and until you managed to squeeze out a bit of praise for Mourne, on virtually everyone and everything else!

 

I was fortunate to be able to take several of the same educational opportunities available to everyone if that is in anyway relevant.

 

I don't need anyone to speak for me that is why, unlike you , I am on this forum under my own name. I give my opinions as I see things and childish abuse from people like you will not

stop me from doing so.

 

I wish Ian well with the organising of his events and especially well with them if he has you involved - what is it someone said ... 'With friends like you - who needs enemies!"

 

Ian has given the terrier , whippet and lurcher people real choice with his event and good luck to him.

Ian,

 

My conversation with Dogs Balls on this thread is finished. Best of luck with your event - I hope to see you there as I am genuinely interested in the range of events you have - although I don't see us copying them as they will need a lot of organising!

 

As I have said the two events are different and run differently giving people choice. If I was a terrier, whippet or lucher competitor I would choose to go to both!

got a sneaky look at the trophies for the show today, first class :thumbs:

any photo's of these trophies? what is for the simulated coursing? have one ready for it

 

I have no photo's of trophies to post on here Fiona you can get a look at them on the day (that's only 25 sleeps to go lol)

And there is a nice engraved plate & some sporting dog equipment for the winner of the simulated,so get Maverick ready for it

no doubt he'll be one of the contenders..

Good decision regarding Dogs Balls Albert ,it's important to prevent these "post hackers" from disrupting all our good work from promoting our shows..

Yip...!He is getting too old now to keep up with the younger faster dogs coming along in the straight racing,also he had suffer a few bugged toes and jarred wristed over the working season, so il have a go at this instead, hope he uses his head rather than his pace....Maverick will not be hanging his boots up yet! Whats the sporting dog equipment?

It's usually slip leads,leads,collars etc all good quality stuff that you would use.

All full card of events for the weekend 26th & 27th will appear on here soon,but the Saturday is the day with all events taking place

except the straight racing which will be on the Sunday.

But remember you won't have to pay into the Main Fair any of the days to attend our Lurcher & Terrier events,so both days is a great option for all.

      A VERY HAPPY CHRISTMAS TO ALL MY FRIENDS IN THE COUNTRY SPORTS  ARENA
      As we approach the end to 2025, I would like to reach out and personally thank  all my friends in Country Sports for all  the hard work you  put into  organising our dog show and race days in 2025 for all to enjoy. These were all fantastic events and truly served as a wonderful window for our Country Sports fraternity.
      Days like these at our dog shows in the summer are so important for our community, and your details and dedication to the cause has really shone through. So many charities have benefited over the years and so many new friends made at these get togethers  by like minded people. This was very evident in July this year when the Burren Working Dog Club gave £17,OOO to a charity. What an achievement.
       
      I know there will be some very sad homes  this year,  with places missing at the  dinner table  in  our Country Sports  community. Can I please offer my heartfelt sympathy to all those people , and  hopefully with Gods help you will get through to brighter days ahead.
       
      Many thanks to the McGrath Racing Club Carlow, for a great day out at the 5 Nations and who has travelled north and south of the border to run our racing so efficiently and helped me out on many occasions..  A special word of thanks to Tally Ho ( Peter Morgan ) for keeping the Country Sports window open in the dark days of winter by organising your virtual competitions and giving away so many generous prizes in return. This is so greatly appreciated .
       
      And Finally, to my mentors and long term friends  Mr 5 Nations himself, yes The King of the Castle Albertj Titterington and his lovely wife Irene. Albert it is great to see you getting back to health again, and we look forward to seeing you back on the scene in 2026.
       
      Finally, Finally, may I take this opportunity  to  wish you all North and South of the border and further afield a very Happy Christmas and  Prosperous  New Year.
       
      To we meet again in 2026 God Bless

      A Tribute to the late John Shaw who passed away  last Thursday 6th November 25
       
      I Am Free
      Do not grieve for me now my  friends and family, I am free
      I am following the path God Laid for me
      I took his hand when I heard him call
      I turned my back and left it all
      I could not stay another day
      To Love, to live, to hunt, to show my treasured Whippets, or play. 
      I found a peace at close of day.
      Be not burdened with the times of sorrow
      I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow
      Perhaps my time seemed all to brief
      Do not lengthen it now with undue grief
      Lift up your hearts my friends and share with me
      God wanted me now,  
      He set me free.
      John, we will love you forever and you will be sadly missed by your loving family and all your Country Sporting Fraternity and in the show ring.
      May the Angels above give you the best seat in Heaven and may your gentle soul rest in peace.
      For Country Sports Fraternity
      Margaret Mc Stay
