On behalf of the folks from forest lodge respite centre we would like to thank Albert Irene The members of the the NILRC for the hospitilyand welcome they received on Sunday at Shanes The carers looking after the children were astounded at the number of folks that took time to say hello to the childern .The carers have already ask what date is Shanes on next year so they can looking forward it and trying to fix the shift rota.

The showing went well guilding from class to class without a hitch well done to the NILRC and judges who pressed on even in the heavy showers A BIG well done to Dessie Mackin in taking the over all champion with a beautiful wee terrier Sorry I never got the name of the guy with the lurcher but well done a useful and obedient wee lurcher would love to see this wee lurcher work, And my own wee bitch Lady done us proud yet again lifting the All Ireland whippet champion title for the 3rd time . Under the wachful eye of Graham (Vermin catcher) Who's dog won the working whippet class Graham kept us all fed on burgers and hot dogs, He was still sitting at the barb a que when we left Prehaps Albert might need to check that he has left the field he seemed to have enough grub to do him for a fortnight .

Sam,

 

Thank you for bringing these very special kids to our fair and giving them a day out to remember. Another piece of excellent PR for the terrier, lurcher and whippet and country sports world. I know that is not why you bring the kids but it does work for our communityand Irene and I are pleased to facilitate you and them any time. We thank you for bringing them. Three great and classy dogs in the final - your own dog oozes class but I couldn't help, like you, falling for the lurcher - such a very pretty dog but all lurcher!

It was a pleasure cooking for you Sammy, i was, if truth be told trying to give you and your dog food poisoning before the whippet show classes so I could pave the way for my own dog but it was to no avail. I forgot you boys are from the East of the city and are well used to eating each other and your dead ,so a half cooked burger is childs play to you :D . Your dog and yourself are worthy winners in my book ,as not only does your dog look the part but it also puts in the graft in the fields. Ill claim the jacket next year with Barney unless of course he ends up like a Giraffe :D:D Well done mate

On behalf of the NILRC I would like to thank Sammy and the kids from the Forest Lodge Respite Centre for their generous donation of prizes for the young handlers hunting dog/bitch classes on Sunday. It was great to the see their smiling faces and we hope to see them at more venues in the future.
