Are you not gonna split the dogs and bitches in each class as I dont't think they can be judged fairly against each other? I also feel that since u'es are not doing simulated racing I think you should add more classes in the straight racing i.e a bull cross race and a terrier cross race like u'es have in the showing and even a rogue race, as I think that the line up for the racing is limited and the showing defo needs to split?

Thanks for your enquiry,as we have already planned trophys ect for this years racing it probably would be a little late to consider these amendments

to this years racing,however your idea's are something we can consider for our show later in the year & next year.

 

Thanks Ian

I don't think it would be that hard to get an extra few trophies etc for the racing, as u have done away with the simulated racing I dnt think you have really did anything to replace it or make up for it and I think by this the line up is looking a lot more poor than pervious years, but I do feel also with the showing dogs and bitches need split and a lot people will agree on that with me and I know several people that ur lossing out on coming of some the changes aren't made and can ask something who is the judges and especially the lurcher judge?

How much is entry into the fair this year and is there any charges for parking etc as there is all sorts of horror stories going about from an event held on these grounds last week

If you visit Northern Ireland Countryside Fesitval's website you will find more information regarding the entry fee,but i do think it's £12 per adult

with kids free.As regards parking there will be ringside parking at the Lurcher & Terrier events.

      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

      A Tribute to the late John Shaw who passed away  last Thursday 6th November 25
       
      I Am Free
      Do not grieve for me now my  friends and family, I am free
      I am following the path God Laid for me
      I took his hand when I heard him call
      I turned my back and left it all
      I could not stay another day
      To Love, to live, to hunt, to show my treasured Whippets, or play. 
      I found a peace at close of day.
      Be not burdened with the times of sorrow
      I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow
      Perhaps my time seemed all to brief
      Do not lengthen it now with undue grief
      Lift up your hearts my friends and share with me
      God wanted me now,  
      He set me free.
      John, we will love you forever and you will be sadly missed by your loving family and all your Country Sporting Fraternity and in the show ring.
      May the Angels above give you the best seat in Heaven and may your gentle soul rest in peace.
      For Country Sports Fraternity
      Margaret Mc Stay
