i will i need to know is he the same judge as the judge at the annaghmore raceway ? [fiona's show]

LMAO.....naw kid.... this man actually works terriers :thumbs:

thats good he dident like my dog

 

Well different judges/different days. But Barrie is a top UK judge and this is the first time he has judged in Ireland. You will get a fair opinion on your dog.

 

For Shanes Castle we have a Scottish judge who has never judged in Ireland.

YM,

 

Since Shanes Castle is the 50th Game Fair that I have organised since I launched a sustainable Irish Game Fair in 1979 AND it is the 25th anniversary of the launch of the All Ireland Terrier & Lurcher Championships we will be celebrating both with what should be a terrier, whippet & lurcher weekend to be remembered. So we thought we would bring UK judges across BUT as I have always said we should have both UK & Irish judges at our events and I am very satisfied that our Irish judges at Ballywalter will do a very good job and we shall in future be using a mix of Irish & UK judges.

 

However enough of Shanes Castle - as you know we have an excellent event planned for Ballywalter this w/e!

Genuinely appreciative of all of the pms,emails, calls etc of support for the first of the Great Game Fairs of Ireland at Ballywalter this weekend.

 

As you may be aware we would like to see you at all three of our Fairs at Ballywalter, Shanes and Birr and that is why if you purchase an adult ticket for £10 at Ballywalter you get discounted vouchers to get admission to Shanes for £5 and Birr for €5.

 

For a family its £25 for Ballywalter and with vouchers £10 for Shanes and €15 for Birr.

 

Remember all terrier & lurcher events start at 11.00 am Sunday 6th May.

      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

      We would like to thank every person who has supported our show, sponsorsed and donated gifts for an amazing raffle..   We had over £1500s worth of prizes for the raffle….  A very special thanks to Margaret Mcstay for advertising, The legend dog racing team of the McGrath Family, Dwtc for ongoing support, And  Burren working dog show team.. Thanks everyone and roll on 2026….   A show not to miss

      It has been decided by the Mc Grath Lurcher Racing Club and by kind permission of  Mr AJ Titterington of The Great Game Fairs of Ireland, that their Annual Dog Show event in Carlow 2026 will take place over a two day event. 
      *Saturday the 27th June 26 will be Showing only for the 5 Nations and All Ireland Showing.
      *Sunday 28th June will be for Racing Only for the Master Mc Grath / Mick the Miller and All Ireland Racing.
