NEW LURCHER AND WHIPPET RACING FEDERATION,N.IRELAND


Recommended Posts

DUE TO THE AMOUNT OF PEOPLE FALLING OUT AND FIGHTING ABOUT DOG RACING IN THE NORTH, IV BEEN ASKED TO POST A NOTICE TO ANY PERSONS INTERESTED IN FORMING A CLUB/FEDERATION UNDER THE RULES OF THE BRITISH WHIPPET RACING FEDERATION....

THIS NEW CLUB SHOULD BE KNOWN AS THE LURCHER AND WHIPPET RACING FEDERATION OF NORTHERN IRELAND...

ANY PERSONS INTERESTED SHOULD CONTACT ME AS IV BEEN ASK TO ARRANGE A VENUE FOR THE FIRST MEETING...

 

THE AIMS OF THE CLUB WOULD BE TO RUN UNDER RULES AND REGULATIONS TO ANY DOGS AND PERSONS RACING IN THE NORTH

1. ANY PERSONS VERBALLY/ ABUSING ANYBODY ELSE AT THESE EVENTS IS TO BE GIVEN A WRITTEN WARNING AND THEN BARRED...PERMANENTLY

2.THREE STEWARDS ARE TO BE APPOINTED AT EACH MEETING TO REPORT ANY DOGS THAT ARE GUILTY OF CAUSING INTERFERENCE BY FIGHTING OR PLAYING, THE SAID DOGS SHALL BE DISQUALIFIED AND THE RACE RE-RUN WITH OUT THE OFFENDING DOG(S)THE OFFENDING DOG SHALL THEN BE REQUIRED TO DO A CLEARANCE TRAIL BEFORE HE CAN RACE AGAIN.ALSO 2 LINE UN-CONFERING JUDGES

3. ALL DOGS TO BE MEASURED IF THERE IS ANY DOUBT THEY ARE UNDER THE HEIGHT LIMIT ,AS A CHAIRPERSON IS TO BE APPOINTED

4.ADVENTUALLY A DATA BASE OF PEDIGREES IS TO BE FORMED,

 

 

OF COURSE, AS OVER HERE IS RUN BY HEIGHT NOT WEIGHT, THE RULES OF THE CLUB WILL BE MODIFIED TO SUIT LURCHER RACING, BUT ALL MEMBERS WILL HAVE TO PROVIDE EVIDENCE TO WHAT THERE DOGS PARENTAGE IS, THAT IS IF THEYRE IS ANY DOUBT OF THE DOGS BACK GROUND.

 

SO I WILL END THE NOTICE HERE AND HOPE THE INTEREST IS THERE TO MAKE THIS POSSIBLE..I HAVE BEEN GOING TO THESE EVENTS SINCE I WAS 12 YEARS OLD, AND IF SOME SORT OF REGULATION CANT BE MET I WILL NOT BE GOING FOR MUCH LONGER..

IT USE TO BE A BIT OF CRACK, NOW IT IS A COMPETITIVE SPORT, SOMETHING HAS TO BE DONE TO STOP EVERY ONE FALLING OUT!

THE CLUB WILL BE FOR EVERY ONE...

THE ENGLISH AND SCOTS ARE MILES AHEAD OF US, ITS ABOUT TIME WE JOINED THEM, AS ARE DOGS ARE GOOD ENOUGH!

sound idea there but just one thing, surely you dont need to include whippets, they have there own club and already race under rules, maybe ask them ones to help you out? just a thought, all the best with your idea.

cc

yes i here what your saying, i will be asking for the co-operation from the whippet club,as it will already be a massive task trying to regulate the lurchers alone, and all the other lurcher clubs around the north, and if plans go ahead and we do get this club set up,i will be inviting the whippet club members to are club events to tell us whats what...

can i ask a question or two with out being called a troublemaker,whos doin all the asking of you the maverick and can they not sort it themselves? how will this stop all the bitching when the bitches wont stop as they always were there? ive seen you write that the money is to blame but the bitching still happens when theres no money at the show,the way to stop the bitching is to stamp it out on the day,for the owners with complaints to speak in person and not on the net, theres always been racing bred lurchers in the 20 or 30 years ive been knocking about maybe not as many but they were there none the less.some people HAVE to win simple as that and they go to lengths to make it so.personally great if it gets going but it wont stop the arguing or internet heroes.if you want to race breed a race dog if you want to catch rabbits or foxes then breed a dog to do it why does anyone think they shoud have a say anyway, good luck with the club good racing and hunting kegs

      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
