For me outside the game fairs the Mourne is the largest and most attended lurcher and terrier show which also caters for a lot of aspects of terrier and lurcher work. If i had the choice of attending one game fair in Northern Ireland it would be Shanes Castle though it would be nice to see the simulated coursing brought back to the Game Fair.

Thanks to 'everyone' for their input, i'll do a bit homework on all the shows/fairs stated and then make my own mind up.

Hopefully see some of you next year.

Didn't really get out of hand - just a little friendly sparring. You will find that while we might argue a little amongst ourselves visitors always find us extremely welcoming. I think you would enjoy any of the shows or any of the fairs!

everyone is welcome to the mourne show.first thanks to everyone for the good reports on the show. its been five years on the go and its went pretty well and raised over 6 grand so far for local charity.i personally believe a show is as good as the people who attend and i keep it all as simple as posible. i organize it but i have a great team of people who help on the day and there would be no show without them and the sponsorship i recieve means that as much of the money keeps going to the cause as possible.we had a few travelled over from scotland wales and england this year and said theyd be back.which is alwatys good. raynardman you are very welcome to the mourne if thats where you decide. thanks kieran

      A VERY HAPPY CHRISTMAS TO ALL MY FRIENDS IN THE COUNTRY SPORTS  ARENA
      As we approach the end to 2025, I would like to reach out and personally thank  all my friends in Country Sports for all  the hard work you  put into  organising our dog show and race days in 2025 for all to enjoy. These were all fantastic events and truly served as a wonderful window for our Country Sports fraternity.
      Days like these at our dog shows in the summer are so important for our community, and your details and dedication to the cause has really shone through. So many charities have benefited over the years and so many new friends made at these get togethers  by like minded people. This was very evident in July this year when the Burren Working Dog Club gave £17,OOO to a charity. What an achievement.
       
      I know there will be some very sad homes  this year,  with places missing at the  dinner table  in  our Country Sports  community. Can I please offer my heartfelt sympathy to all those people , and  hopefully with Gods help you will get through to brighter days ahead.
       
      Many thanks to the McGrath Racing Club Carlow, for a great day out at the 5 Nations and who has travelled north and south of the border to run our racing so efficiently and helped me out on many occasions..  A special word of thanks to Tally Ho ( Peter Morgan ) for keeping the Country Sports window open in the dark days of winter by organising your virtual competitions and giving away so many generous prizes in return. This is so greatly appreciated .
       
      And Finally, to my mentors and long term friends  Mr 5 Nations himself, yes The King of the Castle Albertj Titterington and his lovely wife Irene. Albert it is great to see you getting back to health again, and we look forward to seeing you back on the scene in 2026.
       
      Finally, Finally, may I take this opportunity  to  wish you all North and South of the border and further afield a very Happy Christmas and  Prosperous  New Year.
       
      To we meet again in 2026 God Bless
       
       
      Margaret Mc Stay
