HUGE THANKS FROM THE GREAT GAME FAIRS of IRELAND

[AlbertJ 569]

On behalf of the Great Game Fairs of Ireland team I would like to thank everyone who supported the 40th Anniversary ALL IRELAND Game Fair at Shanes Castle on the 23/24 June 2018. With your help we delivered the largest ever Irish Game Fair, with the greatest number of competitors, the largest ever attendance at any Irish Game Fair ever and perhaps even more importantly for the defence of our sports the best positive publicity with unrivalled pre fair publicity and massive post fair publicity to come including three BBC programmes and several others.

A lot of charities benefited with Ken Lindsay's charity collection for the Children's Hospice benefitting from a large donation from the organisers of the terrier & lurcher racing and show; gundog & clay shooters returning their winning cheques; our own top up donation and the Smith's Scooby winning the Master McGrath for the 2nd year.  Last year the Smiths gave their substantial winning cheque back  for Ken's charity and this year you would have thought that this lion hearted dog was running for charity again. Running with a damaged foot he swept through to make another very handsome donation from the Smiths and him to our charity.
