A very big thank you to Albert j and his great team for there very generous offer of permitting the IWTF to have a stand and a opportunity to promote them selves at there 50th irish game fair at Shane's castle and also at Birr ,these are by far the biggest and best country fairs in Ireland and the federation is honoured to have been given this opportunity .

There will be members of the federation in attendance ,myself and Neil cooney that I know of so far so any questions you have in relation to the federation ,what we are about,our aims or if it's about starting up your own club and becoming affiliated to the IWTF please feel free to approach us.

We look forward to having a busy time and I hope that terrier men and women will attend these great fairs and show support to those that are giving us support.

Any new clubs wishing to join the I.W.T.F. should approach the stand we'll have at the Great GameFairs of Ireland with the name of their club,

Contact name,

Contact number,

£10 euro per member.

All details given to us will only be made available to the commitee ,should we need to contact you.

As the I.W.T.F. is still very much in it's infancy the membership cards might not be ready for Shanes Castle but will be sent on to club reps. to distribute amongst members.

We're trying to get a nice job done on the cards and it takes time so please bare with us.

The I.W.T.F. will be present at Shanes Castle on the Sunday and both Saturday and Sunday at Birr Castle on August 25 - 26.

Well done Sam and Neil, this is what is needed in Ireland both north and south. I see already we have something like 62 affiliated clubs in the south and 9 in the north and hopefully after Shanes and Birr those numbers will increase dramatically. Remember the old saying UNITED WE STAND,

I think a big thank you must go to Stop End for his energy & enthusiasm in helping get this going and having the 'grace' to fall in behind the new chairman. Also to Barry Wade for his advice. I had some concerns about the IWTF seeking to run before they could walk but I have been mightily impressed at the progress it has made very quickly.

 

We are delighted to facilitate you at the fairs and to help with your fundraising for the battles that will undoubtedly lie ahead.

      The Keep er Lit Dog Show and Raceday Sunday 20th July 2025
      Doagh Equestrian is situated on the beautiful Antrim coast in the village of Doagh, Co Antrim. This was a new venue for the “Keep er Lit” Dog show and Race day and the ideal spot for   last Sundays Show.  
      From early morning, cars and trailers arrived from North and South of the border. Some people came as far away as Limerick and Drogheda with families and dogs in tow. Our good canine folk love a good dog show in the summer and a chat with like minded people. They certainly were not disappointed at the Keep er Lit show.  
      As the show progressed, so did the banter and the craic. The rings were well spaced out with a good long race track. Paul Boyd was there with his country sports stand, with everything needed in the hunting fraternity. 
      Some very tasty burgers were available on site and an Equestrian shop with great discounts on offer on the day. I had to take control of my retail therapy when I got into that shop, as I was like a child in a toy shop with to much to choose from.
      The weather was glorious all day and at times to warm. As usual the raffle generated a great buzz around the field with some great prizes on offer. 
      The show started with the racing first at approximately 12.30 
      Here are the Racing and Showing Results

      Congratulations to all above winners.
      And Finally, may I take this opportunity to thank the judges and their ring stewards on the day,on behalf of the Keep er Lit Team for a job well done.
      Strong Dog Judge : Gareth Barnett
      Lurcher Judge       : Gerard Melaugh
      Whippet Judge      : Colin Maguire
      Terrier Judge         : Martin Breen
      Pets Judge             : Gail Ross
      Judging is not an easy job, but you were consistent and fair, and very successful with the end product. 
      The racing was carried out as usual to perfection by The Mc Grath Racing Club Carlow. These people have many years experience in the Canine world both in showing and racing and their input helps to alleviate the pressure on the show organizer on the day. A job well done Biddy and team. 
      Some lovely photographs were taken on the day by various people, and no doubt these will be up on the site shortly.
      And Finally, Finally, they say behind every good man is a good woman and Leigh Thompson along with Paddy Gibson, you both definitely fitted into that category. Your show was run with impeccable organisation. It was evident on the day a lot of hard work and sleepless nights was put into  this now annual Show. Leigh and Paddy you pulled out all the stops on the day and produced a top class show in a top class venue. Well done and a credit to you both.
      I am Looking forward to more of the same in 2026. Thank you for the memories.To we meet again God Bless.
