Irish Game & Country Fair Birr 25th & 26th August


Recommended Posts

I think its the musket loaders you would want to keep far away from the main arena not the TandL

 

How is the woman that was shot at Shanes Castle

Sorry for asking how the woman was that was shot with the ram rod that was fired out of a musket gun

at Shanes Castle Albert

Wasnt expecting that rather ANGRY private message you sent me :nono:

 

Are you supplying suites of armour for all attending

 

Again ,any word on the woman that was shot with the ram rod fired from the gun

 

Just Hunt,

 

I noted you have shown a great interest in this incident and have made several posts about it and now continue to make flippant remarks so I can assume that you are not genuinely interested in the lady's welfare but simply wish to associate our fairs with the accident. The incident has been investigated by the PSNI and Health & Safety people and if anyone is genuinely interested in the incident I am happy to discuss it if they give me a telephone call.

 

I did not send you an 'angry message' I simply said the following : "If you have a genuine interest in the lady who was injured at Shanes - give me a call on the game fair number and I will tell you. For the record she was not shot - she was hit by a ramrod that an unfortunate chap had left in his gun during a re-enactment. He was not shooting at the time he was intending simply to make a bang. As you can imagine he is rather upset by this unfortunate accident and can do without allegations that he shot someone. Accidents do occur at events no matter how hard one tries to avoid them - few events have not had accidents" I also stated that there had been other unfortunate accidents at other events in Ireland ( which we did not organise) including where someone was shot with a high powered air rifle and a kid nearly lost his fingers on a knife. As I said " these are largely outside of the control of organisers all of whom geniuinely do what they can to avoid them and flippant comments do not help either the person who caused the accident or the person who suffered.".

Albert, I wont be paying into Birr this year when I can attend a national show in Borris for free.     best of luck with the show.

Birr last year was one of the best shows i was ever at and if this year is half as good ,it is well worth attending

I disagree with you on this matter, you judge them on whether they are fit for purpose or not. A terrier must be able to fit up to a fox within reason. If what you say about KC shows being similar may

looking forward to meeting up with you guys.any directions as to how the hell ye find the place,lol.

 

 

Liam you and directions just dont mix,lol

      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.
