Ferret Racing At Shanes Castle


Recommended Posts

Thanks folks for all the input. Vermin catcher with his many hidden talents has come up with some great ideas for prizes on the day....more to follow. Hopefully it'll kick start the sunday off for a great day of fun, craic and banter for everyone!!!! :)

 

 

Well done Dazzam - with being a line judge and now an event organiser you are in danger of becoming part of the establishment - instead of how we first met - by you slagging me off in a post that got some 2,000 views! Seriously thanks for coming forward to bring back a fun event for the fair.

Shock of the day for me was seeing Terry Turkington. I hadn't seen Terry for a few years and to think he always gives us stick about keeping racing lurchers and there he's breeding racing ferrets.....

Thanks to Steven McGonigal Deben have out up some prizes for the event which will now be known as the Game Fair Ferret Championship - so bring your ferret to be crowned Game Fair Champion. Ideas have also flooded in as to how this could be grown in future years.

Albert that post got 5861 views!!!!! that's a hell of a lot of advertising....and all I got was two measly tickets for the game fair :laugh: ... and I had to work for them :laugh: . Even in these times of economic recession i'm going to have to up my rates.

Albert ,have you actually ever see him do anything? he claims to be my hunting partner and he does turn up on cold frosty mornings and goes out with us. But sadly that's all I can really say as to the rest of his input for a days ferreting. Last time we were out he actually lifted the spade when a ferret had killed under ground and my hopes soared then they were knocked back when he asked "was the spade left or right handed?" and put it back! :D:D

1 - Polecat Hob

2 - Polecat Jill

3 - Albino Hob

4 - Albino Jill

About time these wee mustilids took centre stage.

Looking forward to seeing this.
