    Davy, If only everyone took the same attitude! John, I am sorry I didn't get to the show as I had planned - we were producing a special Game Fairs edition of the magazine which I had hoped would be nearly ready when I came back rom Birr on Tuesday but a lot of material was delayed and Paul Pringle's internet connection went down so I had to spend all weekend editing and laying it out so it could go out today. I was impressed by your show last year - it was well organised and the trophies and prizes were excellent and in spite of the weather it looks as if it was a huge success t

    This year at the Irish Game Fair at Shanes Castle on Sunday 29th June 'Bri' will do a short obedience demonstration with a lurcher and terrier in the COUNTRY SPORTS IN ACTION ARENA at 11.40. . He thinks there must be other owners out there who have done similar basic obedience training and would invite them to join him the ring for simple demonstrations to the public of 'walk at heel'; sit' stay and possibly a retrieve to hand. Volunteers to me at irishgamefair@btinternet.com or join 'Bri' in the ring! Albertj

    Thank you Sam. I have to say Tango has been a pleasure to work with as his enthusiasm knows no bounds. In discussions with him we have taken on board lots of suggestions from competitors including splitting classes into dogs and bitches; quality judges; extra prizes etc.

    PL, I wish you and your team well at the Maze - although we are going to have to agree to differ on which is the best Irish game or country fair or countryside or country living festival as I think we have two major contenders for this title in our stable! However it is good to see the festival team are now branding the event as the NI Countryside Festival instead of using variants of our brand names and trade marks. This and locating the event in a countryside show setting could create the right conditions for little or no confusion between that event and ours and the bit of dif

    Bluebell, I always say to Irene and Margaret and you are amongst my favourite FIVE blondes. She knows that the FIVE includes Sharon Stone and herself but I leave her puzzling as to the FIFTH! Seriously Margaret and you have done so much to help drive positive PR for terriers, lurchers and whippets. It has been a pleasure to work with you and all the other great people I have met - including 'Big John' and Patsy of course, since I made the commitment to give terrier, lurchers and whippets their proper status in our events.

    BEST of LUCK with the show Tommy and I am sure the adrenaline is starting to pump now as you hope for good weather, a good crowd and good competition. Sorry I can't make it but my very best wishes to you and your team, the judges and the competitors. I am sure Bluebell and Appleblossom - two ladies as lovely as their adopted names will get us a report and photos for the magazine. AlbertJ
