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.

      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
