AlbertJ 569 Posted May 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2011 Is there any discount for BASC members attending the fair at Shanes Castle ?? No - we work with all the major organisations in Ireland including NARGC, FISSTA, CAI - all of who have many more members than BASCNI, so to be fair to all organisations ( and these organisations all make a more major contribution to our fairs than BASCNI) we took the decision to help all the organisations( including BASC) by subsidising their stands and let them subsidise their members. We did offer a FREE ticket to Shanes Castle to everyone who purchased a ticket at the Ballywalter Fair - again we thought that this was a fairer way to make a gesture to the whole field sports community rather than to a small section of it.

That is why we have held some launches at Stormont. We would love to have it open to all like our Ballywalter preview in the Ards Town Square but security dictates otherwise and we can only invite a small number of representatives from each sport. We do invite representatives of all the sports to be there - both the representative organisations and ordinary participants e.g Des Crofton Director of the NARGC and the stoutest defender of country sports that I know will be a key note speaker. I have also invited several terrier & lurcher folk including Deirde ( not in her capacity as a McGrath qualifier to represent that brand of our sports. We also invite different representatives to our other press conferences - next one after Stormont is at Shanes Castle on the Friday morning before the Fair. If you want to come and see it for yourself you are very welcome. Albertj Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Albertj I hope to be workin my dogs long into the future glad your not speaking to the MPs next week I hope that you are working your lurchers and I will be able to continue my sports into the future and that is why we most certainly WILL BE TALKING TO and INVOLVING MLAs,Ministers and MPs at Stormont in our photocall, on TV and in our reception. We believe in promoting country sports at the highest level. For example look at our last two magazines on www.countrysportsandcountrylife.com to see our interviews with the Environment Ministers North and South where we put country sports concerns directly to them. We also support the country sports organisations in their lobbying especially those organisations that actually seek their members opinions. In fact when the tail docking issue was being addressed at Stormont the main organisations had concentrated on gundogs and Barry Wade the Vice Chair of the NWTF contacxted me I was able to mail his excellent submission on the necessity of docking terriers to the Environment Committee and through the good offices of people like Francie Molloy MLA and others terrier were also included in the exemption. I literally was 'only the messenger' Barry deserves the real credit! I have spent 34 years of my life promoting country sports to public and politicians and intend to continue to do so. Shanes Castle will be my 46th game or country fair and my fellow director Eddie Dash's 51st ( he has been involved in 5 in Scotland). So yes politicians will be fully involved in our promotion at Stormont. If you see our show from Ballywalter on www.fieldsportschannel.tv you will see how we involve politicians very positively in our promotions. Albertj Quote Link to post Share on other sites
