It's the same shit every year in this section, fair play.. And yes, I'm another mod with no idea or no inclination to find out what's going on at any shows I will probably never attend.. This section is not for settling personal vendettas and slinging personal attacks at other members. I notice a lot of bad feeling on here starts after a show, why is it people seem to leave it until they get home before they air their grievances? :hmm:

Hi guys,

When I comment on something on here I try not to bring personalities into it nor launch a personal attack on any individual. Having listened to what you mods have come on here and said is heartening to hear, but unfortunately it's not always the case. There was an incident last year when a personal attack was launched at me and I had to threaten you with my solicitor before the particular post was removed, and if I can remember it took a day or so before the offending comments were taken down.

I don't agree with any individual getting slandered but surely you can't expect everyone to agree about everything, otherwise you may as well change your name to K9 community!

Maybe a solution would be a verified forum where everyone has to post under their real identities..............................

I think a lot of the problems in the NILRC is the fact hey as a club ( click) Refuse to be answerable to no one but themselves No matter what spotrt we take part in Has to be coverned by a set of rules The NILRC have rules but dispite being ask repeatly for them have yet to publish them There is people out there running shows by NILRC rule surely they have read a copy of the rules and would be good enough to post a copy I personaly have chose not to run any of my dogs in a show run by this group Until i know what the rules are ,Paulas you mentioned the AGM this club has a hanful of members seems to be a closed shop there has been people asked is it open to membership. No reply I am asking the NILRC to come on here and answer a few public questions such as who determines what is to run as a whippet .And what is classed as a greyhound I am asking a few of the more out spoken members of the fourm to be resonable Give them a chance to say their bit this is not about attacking anyone but trying to move forward

so come on answer the mans queeries, I THINK HE HAS A VALID POINT, theres grey x whippets running in the whippets , theres also greyhounds running in the lurcher section, this is why i've chose not to attend the master mcgrath this year, stubborn??? maybe, but whats the point really, ferry, weekend spending, day off work, to be cheated by owners racing non tattooed greyhounds against cross bred lurchers, there will only ever be 1 winner, the greyhounds , anyway, enough of a rant, hope all enjoy these wonderful gamefairs of ireland that ALBERT, works so hard to put together

I personally think there were less problems pre-NILRC days .

I would like to here what every one elses views are but they keep getting removed!

Geniune people are coming on here to be heard with genuine user names ... I have raced all my dogs under them in the elite and have never asked to have it any other way.

But then i see dogs with similar breeding racing in the lurcher classes. The club was suppose to be set up for people with out and out hunting lurchers to get a chance to win at racing ,traditionally bred dogs which are no more than half bred greyhounds....So I do agree with the comment lady jane made..the club have not accomplished what they set out to do.(which was removed ) We are not having a go...but how long are we going to be ignored...?

I don't care about Lurcher racing or showing either ;)

 

I'll just sit here in the background deleting posts with text talk in them, and waiting to ban people who can't behave in a civil manner.

 

Add me to the hate list if you please, I really couldn't care less :)

i wasn't a mod then but i was on here as a member as i have been for a good few years, i would just like to reiterate this is a hunting forum with a section that is dedicated to game fairs and meets, I have no idea what was or wasn't said in this section but i think to be threatening legal action is a tad excessive for any member of any forum . if a club or someone who attends has problems with how it does or does not conduct its meets/shows or whatever has nothing to do with the site other than what gets posted and as such will be subjected to the forum rules

You wouldnt say that it was a tad excessive if it was directed at yourself, it was dangerous and nasty...and seem to be directed at anybody that was winning alot at racing or showing at the time....

      The Burren Charity Working Dog Show and Raceday Saturday 26th July 25   From the Pen of Margaret Mc Stay   As the clock on the wall jingled out its usual dulcet tones on Saturday morning, it signalled the start of a new day for us and another great sporting event on our country sports calendar. With Mrs Sat Nav being our guiding light along the way, and the beautiful Mourne Mountains following us enroute, very soon The Burren came into view and the dog show venue for the day. And what a venue that was. It was evident the amount of hard work the Burren Team had put into this show ground. It was in tiptop condition with six toilets on site, rings well spaced out and a superb racetrack with a very steep hill. And what a tester for our dogs this track was. With the sun shining down all day in abundance and a very large gathering of canine folk from North and South of the border, the atmosphere was electric. I can honestly say this was the biggest show I have been at this year and all for a great charity. As the day progressed I took a stroll around the many stands dotted around the field. I stopped of at Mick Mc Cormacks stand. Mick and Lorna are always so welcoming and have a stand full of everything for the hunting fraternity. Next door was flight & bite Outdoor Clothing & Footwear. I had a great we chat with owner Richard Caddell. Richard and I go back a very long time from our times at The Great Games Fairs of Ireland at Shanes Castle. I think most of our outdoor gear for dog shows were bought of this man over the years. You would not go hungry at this show. Burgers/Drinks/ Snacks/Teas and coffee were all available on site. The children had a field day with a child handling class. Every child got a medal and a bag full of goodies. With their barking and crooning canine friends by their sides, these little people were in their happy place and full of winning spirit As the day progressed into evening, it was raffle time and then the excitement began. It is unbelievable the buzz of excitement the raffle generates to the people around the ring. There were some great items in the raffle, and some very happy campers going home with great prizes The Racing started at approximately 12 noon followed by Showing. Here are the Racing and Showing Results: ***Racing Results*** Pups Kieran with Jimmy Kirsty with Sika Whippet James Mullen with Junior James Mullen with Toby Under 21s Lynzi Gardiner Magill with Bill Rose Mc Coy with Arlo Under 22s Lynzi Gardiner Magill with Venus Rose Mc Coy with Texas Under 23 elite Lynzi Gardiner Magill with Lady Lynzi Gardiner Magill with Cody Under 23s traditional lurcher Mj with Lila Under 24 smooth Lynzi Gardiner Magill with Jack Rose Mc Coy with Prada Under 24 hairy Harry Roche with Sula Joyce Scott with Susan Master McGrath Jake with Storm Joyce Scott with Guss Mick the Miller Jed Donagh with Chaz Lynzi Gardiner Magill with Sugar Light bull Yapper Hayes with Lady Leigh Thompson with Roxy Heavy bull Joyce Scott with Mable Leigh Thompson with King Terrier Matthew Wisdom with Rocco Elaine with Ruby Greyhounds Barry Holland with Hunter ***Showing Results*** Overall Champion Pup Clodagh Gentle with Dash Overall Champion Whippet James Mullen with Toby Overall Champion Lurcher Shane Burns with Buster Overall Champion Terrier Marty Mc Donald with Rebel Overall Champion Strong Dog Chris Mc Court with Sandy Overall Champion Hound Iveaghs Grapevine Overall Champion and Best in Show Marty Mc Donald with Rebel Overall Champion Reserve Chris Mc Court with Sandy Congratulations to all above winners and well done. And Finally, may I take this opportunity to thank the judges on the day, for doing a wonderful job.The Judging was delivered with accuracy and integrity, and a job was well done by all. A special word of thanks to these legends in the Doggie world yes The Mc Grath Dog Racing Club Carlow. Again this year Biddy, you and the boys, and you as a team excelled yourselves in everything you done on the day for the Burren Working Dog Charity Show and Club and many thanks for that. You have been so helpful to so many clubs North and South of the border over the years and long may it last. Finally, Finally this top show would not of been possible without this now well experienced and brilliant show organiser. Yes, I would like to thank the coordinator of this spectacular charity event Stephen Mc Nally and his family, Dad Louis, mother Margaret, brothers Martin and Noel, sister Theresa, Philip Mackin, and a most willing, helpful and friendly back up team and helpers for another top charity show and race day. A light went out in the Mc Nally household, when Stephen and his family lost a son and a beloved brother to cancer. This is total heart break for any family, but Stephens reason and inspiration behind the Burren Charity Working Dog Shows is to keep the memory of his brother alive through giving back to the charities, through his dog shows to the people who helped the family in their hour of need. This years chosen charity “Daisy Lodge Cancer Fund For Children “ is a charity that makes a real difference in the lives of families affected by cancer. Their mission is to empower and connect families, giving them the support they need to cope with the emotional and practical challenges of a cancer diagnosis. They also stand beside bereaved families, offering care and guidance to those grieving the loss of a child or parent. This is where your gate, racing, ring and raffle contribution to The Burren Charity Working Dog Show will go to, and what a very worthy cause. For that we truly thank you for your contribution. Thanks to Stephen and the Burren Team for a most enjoyable day, for the kindness you have shown to John and myself on the day. A brilliant venue and a brilliant day full of lovely memories, and I am already looking forward to more of the same god willing in 2026. To we meet again God Bless. Margaret Mc Stay

      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

      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.
