See there's two shows clashing on the 1st of June.......................thought the whole point of publishing these dates was so folk could look and see and not clash..............both are also qualifiers for 5 Nations and Birr, dates are normally respected if another show has already taken a particular date, maybe it's a mistake??

No Lady Jane, it is not a mistake. I was asked to change this date to day by the organisers.

 

 

Margaret Mc Stay

[Guest ladyjane]

Well surely there cant be two shows with the same qualifiers on the same day................................just doesn't make sense!

[appleblossom 681]

Aint getting involved Lady Jane, you need to take it up with the organisers.

[Guest ladyjane]

It just seems either stupid or deliberate, but when you go to all the trouble of putting up all the dates, then they are just ignored, NI is a small area and to split the entry is just stupid.....................only my opinion, especially a s one is for charity!

[leanne.rea 2]

no janet its not a mistake, i had no other way round it and was giving the date by landowner for the 1st june as he was not happy at all with the show being run on the sunday as he attend's the church across the road from the show field. he doesnt want to upset his neigbours. and i have to respect his wish's as iam very lucky to get the ground as it is. ive no other choice and as ive said on my event page on facebook iam sorry for any trouble that this may cause. but if i dont take the date i dont have a venue. thank you margaret for your help

 

leanne

[Guest ladyjane]

well both shows are going to suffer, I just think in such a small area as NI you couldn't have found another Saturday? Yours is for charity after all and surely you want as many folk as possible there? Just a thought

[leanne.rea 2]

yes i know where your coming from.but theres nothing i can do. but as i stated in my last reply it was the landowner that has giving me the date, and ive no other choice but to take it. and i have to respect that and the date he has giving me' are there would be no event for this charity. yeah it could suffer in a way with the doggy folk but its also a community event awell. it is for charity and i hope to get the crowd in, as autism ni will be there on the day to help to get as much support as possable.

 

leanne

[Guest ladyjane]

Well only you know about your venue, just think it's a shame that something can't be worked out..............................I know if it was me running the other show I'd be pretty pissed off...............................All the best

 

Janet

[AlbertJ 569]

I agreed to give qualifiers to Leanne's show on the basis it was on 2nd June. I had already given Fiona qualifiers for her show on the 1st June. I do not wish to have two qualifying events on the same day so have asked Leanne to sort this matter out with Fiona. I hope they can manage to avoid each others dates altogether but if not they might wish to share the qualifiers. I leave it up to them but Fiona has first claim on the two FN qualifiers and the Maste Mc Grath - if the qualifying races are run under NILRC rules.

 

Albertj

[leanne.rea 2]

i cant stress enough about the two show's being on the same date.... unfortunetly i cant change. landowner had the last word on this ... if i throw it up in the air now i have no event are venue r money raised for this charity. if i cant get the qualifiers for 5nations are master mcgrath i respect that!!!! as there where giving out and approved before i asked. all i can do now is wait and hope that something can work out for both show's. but north down lurcher and terrier club will be going ahead for the 1st june 2013. still being run under the nilrc rules as normal.

 

 

if anyone has any other problems regarden theses dates ill be happy to explain myself over the phone please contact myself on 07743263250
