Ireland Terrier & Lurcher Calendar Clash

[AlbertJ 569]

I am deeply sorry to hear of a clash of dates with two shows in close geographical proximity on the 1st June and that our qualifiers for the Master mc Grath for Shanes Castle on the 29th June and Five Nations for Birr Castle on the 1st September have been caught up in it. appleblossom has done her best to try to promote ALL of the events by putting up and updating lists of shows. In NI gundogs I co-ordinate a calendar of events to avoid such clashes and clubs as far as possible are allocated their traditional dates - if there is a clash we work it out amicably.

 

For our terrier & lurcher qualifiers we wanted to spread them around allowing the widest possible number of people to qualify and to help clubs attract extra competitors. It is not so bad if there are two events geographically spread but these two events are not. We had already awarded Fiona's show qualifiers as we did last year for the 1st June, when Leanne approached us for qualifiers for a show the next day. Although we thought it was a bit close to Fiona's show it was for an Autism Charity and as my nephew suffers from autism, irene worked with kids with autism as does one of my sons now, we felt it worthy of support and granted the show planned for 2nd June qualifiers. Now this show has moved to the 1st June creating a clash of dates. This is further complicated by the fact that the North Down show is being run under NILRC rules and we support the NILRC in its attempt to bring harmony to lurcher racing.

 

Can I publicly ask these two ladies to at least speak to each other about one moving their date - I think that everyone will realise that the person who agrees to move has the best interests of the lurcher & terrier world at heart and its not 'backing down'. If no -one moves there will be no winners in this as both shows will lose out. As a gesture - not a bribe - Irene and I will throw £150 into the prize fund of the organiser who does move.

Fiona has no internet albert she said can you give her a call

Fiona has no internet albert she said can you give her a call

 

Will call her tomorrow - but Leanne has taken the courageous step of changing her date. I hope both ladies will now support each others shows.

Do you know the date of Leannes show Albert? Was looking forward going to it, as its supporting such a good cause.

[AlbertJ 569]

Albert you've been had mate

Don't mind if I have - I'm delighted to help a good cause like autism and to help prevent illfeeling.

[AlbertJ 569]

Do you know the date of Leannes show Albert? Was looking forward going to it, as its supporting such a good cause.

See its now 8th June - it is a good cause and one that Irene and I have seen at first hand.

Im very dissapointed that iv had to come on to a public form to get a hold of you....

iv been ringing your house number for two solid days without answer, and you have my number

my internet has been down and iv had to leave the comfort of my home tonight to travel to a friend house to defend myself!

i thought we had all agreed to keep this sort of crap of the internet...???

im also going to say that im not at home 24/7 to get every live update on the internet wars....

 

yesterday i heard the news leanne had changed her date from sunday to a saturday to deliberatly run a show on the same date as my show.

i was shocked at how anyone would want to pick my date as you can plainly see how many other saturdays were free...

i have made connect with leanne though a mutual friend to try and talk her out of this maddness,(this can be confirmed)

as we were both going to lose out and niether of us may make enough money to cover rosettes and trophies,

her reply was "Not a chance, that saturday 1st was the only date she could get the field ,and that was final"

fair enough

so, i have been working my ass of trying to arrange helpers for a different date,

only to find now that there was £150 in the bargin and leanne has decided she can get a different date after all ! what a surprise !

Nice reward for starting a handling that should not have an issue in the first place

id like to point out no moral high ground has been taken!

and i will not be brought in to a slandering match as we all know whos champion

i will be agreeing to work under the NILRC rules as every sport needs rules, and give half a chance they will make thing better for everyone...

id also like to add even after everything thats happened in 2 days id still welcome with heart in hand leanne is very welcome to my show which i feel i will

have to put up prize money out of my own pocket

regards Fiona

Fiona,

 

I can't understand how you missed me yesterday as I was in for most of the day but to be fair it is rather bedlam here at the monent with stand bookings for the fairs and at times I was juggling three phones as everyone was out of the office preparing for two photoshoots today. I was on the go from 5 this morning to get my dogs sorted and down to Antrim for photo shoots all day and quite bluntly when I came home tonight at c 6.00 I had to get adverts and press releases away - so when I got your message I said I would 'phone you tomorrow - which I will. Two adverts are critical for tomorrow. I am waiting for designs to come back from my designer.

Fiona,

 

If you read my first post I DID NOT criticise you - I made it clear that Leanne had been offered qualifiers for the 2nd June not your date. I suggested that if possible someone should move. When Leanne did I congratulated her on this - by doing so I was not criticising you. My initial post was by way of suggesting that it would be better as I do for gundog tests to have a co-ordinator - I'm sure Margaret might do this - to avoid clashes. OK if its North /South but I felt North/North was too close. We'll talk tomorrow I have my adverts through and sent on to the publications - I am for bed after a very long day. But I am glad this matter has been resolved and I congratulate you on welcoming Leanne to your show. Albert
