Bosun11 537 Posted August 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2011 CG, without looking on the website, i've no idea of start times but it'll be good to see you there, as it will to see all who added to this thred. Wippydoo, if it was a poor deal last year, or any other, that was because, as Christian said, there were no Terrier or Lurcher showing. I've never been to this one before myself, only because I've seen just about every attraction of a country fair in the 30 years i've been going to 'em and without a T+L show it ain't worth my while, even if it just 15mins away! This year there is a show, we (The MWTLC) were asked to do it as we have ran the Peover GF one for ten years and it's always been pretty good. We hope to do the same here, it's an unknown venture but we'll give it our best shot and if anyone out there has working dogs, get yourself along and enjoy the day. See you all there Quote Link to post Share on other sites

gnipper 6,467 Posted August 26, 2011 Report Share Posted August 26, 2011 True there wasn't many trade stalls but then the big shows like the midland are just like massive car boots to me, if you've seen one you've seen them all. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
christian71 3,187 Posted August 26, 2011 Report Share Posted August 26, 2011 Well it's a fair way from me, 180 mile on google maps but it's somewhere new and somewhere to have a good craic with like minded folk I have been on the website but can't seem to find out a time for the showing? I would imagine around noon? Just that i want to get there in time but not get there to early Will be a good 3hr drive! Looking forward to seeing you all anyway Ringside paking up to 10.45- Judging starts 1pm Adults £5 kids free up till 12pm Champion terrier & lurcher Recive £100 each £100 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
