Due to concerns expressed about a number of people considering doing the same and the risk of dogs, children & wives being smothered we can advise you that a family ticket for two adults and up to four children is available at the gate for €35 for the day or as a special concession for terrier & lurcher owners - a two day ticket is available from me in advance for the same price. This must be order and paid for before the 17th August.

Thanks very much albert thats great news, the wife and kids are delighted ! :clapper:

 

Hey Spainard don't forget to look me up when you come onto the mainland & tell the good lady congratulations to you both from me, concerning your latest addition to the hunt pack!! :bye:

It is on overall handling of the dog - judges opinion!
