Man how good was that weather? :laugh: Had to leave early this morning @ 11 and was sweating big time (although it may have been the beavies the night before LOL)

 

The lurcher racing was good but didn't realise the terrier class was Sunday - thought it was Saturday - met a few chaps who thought the same and got Ballywalter tickets in lieu - one chap I spoke to had a fabulous wheaten - forgot to ask where he'd got her :whistling:

 

Massive crowds - Saturday was a record turnout :clapper:

 

Didn't hear any talk about the ban coming on coursing however which I just had a call about - snuck in by Roy Beggs and Tom Elliott and voted in 23 to 18 :icon_eek:

What other game fairs oother than Ballywalter and Birr are worth visiting for terrier showing folks?

had a great 2 days up there, got placed a couple times with 2 of my terriers on sunday so im very happy

and there where a lot of great dogs there;- 2 that caught my eye were a 1/2 bull 1/2 greyhound bitch- mostly white with a half black face and also the tiniest whippet ive ever seen nearly pure black but nicely made- couldnt take my eyes off her.

 

and i cant wait for birr!

I would also like to add a BIG Thank You for the Mid Antrim Boys for making me welcome. In particular Matt & Trevor for keeping me right during the judging, Sheamus for making me laugh & putting me at ease & last but not least Stan (the Man) for taking the photos for me while I was busy. See you soon guys & All the Best Joe

 

I would also like to thank Mary & Charlie for looking after me, Paul & Albert for giving me the opportunity to come to NI!
