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.....

Ferret Showing 11:00am on the Sunday in the Country Sports In Action Arena followed at 11:30am with the Ferret Racing. There are some great prizes on offer.

 

Ferret Showing

Each class winner will receive a trophy and a rosette with rosettes up to 3rd place.

The overall show champion will receive a trophy, rosette, and a silver tankard.

The reserve show champion will receive a rosette and a bag of complete ferret meal.

 

Ferret Racing

The Ferret Racing Champion will receive a trophy, rosette, silver tankard and a ferret racing presentation jacket.

Runner up to receive a rosette and a bag of complete ferret meal.

 

We have also received some net making kits which will be added into the prize structure, thanks to Steve McGonigal.

 

Also Mr and Mrs Vermin Catcher have made up treats and goodies for any of the kids who enter their ferrets.

 

Price is £2 per ferret in both the racing and showing.

 

Hope you all come along, have a bit of fun and craic and support this as we hope to be able to give a donation to Forest Lodge Respite Centre which ministers to children with special needs who will be in attendance on the day along with Sammy and Linda Bowers.

Think I need to invest into some bigger ferrets!!!!!!!

Poor wee rabbit, doesn't look very happy :D

 

lol neither would you if some huge, gigantic black oversized whippet was trying to latch onto your ass, but then again, there's no telling what some women are into :D:D

The owner of the rabbit said to Graham "that's a hell of a big whippet you have there mate", Graham took one look at him then at the rabbit, shook his head and walked away laughing :D:D
