Birr Castle Game Fair , Birr, Co Offaly

[appleblossom 687]

 

We started out for Birr at 5.00am on Sunday morning, met up with Rab Greer at Newry. Bluebell was also to join us at the same venue at 5.30am, but we waited and waited and finally after 15 phone calls later, and now 6.15 am, we managed to get her and Patsy woke up. End of story,Bluebell slept in. We proceed on without Bluebell, and left her to follow later, and arrived at Birr Castle at 9.30am. Birr Castle Demesne extends to over 100 acres, and is open to the public every day of the year and attracts an average of between 25,000 and 30,000 visitors per annum. The Castle is set amidst beautiful landscaped gardens .waterfalls and lakes and an abundance of wild life all around. The Gods were definately shinning on AlbertJ at the weekend, as he was blessed with good weather, a big increase on people coming in the gate, an excellent production and well organised show, a big,big bunch of happy people and another very successful third Great Game Fair of Ireland. Security was the tighest I have seen in all the years I have attended this show. Albert you are a man of your word, you went the whole hog this time.The relaxing way people could stroll around the many stalls, stand at the ringside with their dogs without interference, and park your car/van at the ringside with nobody leaning or sitting on top of it was very evident. Everywhere I looked I could see Security Staff with their high visability jackets very clearly on show. And the boss himself AlbertJ never got off that golf buggy all day, going from one end of the show to the other, co-ordinating, making sure all areas were feeding into each other,and stopping many times on his rounds meeting and greeting people,and welcoming his flock to the show.

 

As we had nothing to eat before we left, we headed straight to" Foodies Event Catering", Lisoban, Galway, situated near the main area. There we met Kenneth Connolly events director and his most efficent chef and staff. A very nice breakfast was served up at a very reasonable price and kept us going for most of the day. From there we headed round the many stalls, searching for little bargains. We stopped off at " Barking Dog Beds" from Newry NI, and had a great chat with its director Martin Ryan. Martin knows his trade well and was selling doogie beds like they were going out of fashion. A very friedly man and has great value for money on his stall, good quality, and a big variety to choose from. We also visited " Keenans " and Edinburgh Clothing Co, Dinky Doughnuts,Fishing,Toyland,walking stick stalls and many more. Many we bargains was gained, along with sore feet from walking, showing my age now, but so enjoyable. We met up with some of our friends on the way. John Humphries was there in full bloom, and we had a great chat with John. I have never seen John look so well. Look out John, old age pensioner looking for a tour of your motorvan. Beware. I am saying it nicely now John, not the way I say it when I meet you out. We also met up with Mark and Fiona Kerr from Kildare (Karl Kerrs Brother) and had a good evenings crack with them.

[dessie m 34]

Hey apple less of the old man I bet I could still make your toes curl and your eyes water lol

[Scarlett 0]

Hi Margaret & John, Great write up as always, it was lovely meeting up with you, John & the gang again. Well done with your lovely young whippet he's a real smasher and your other dogs were great as usual. We had a great time at the show, we were there both days and enjoyed both the showing and the racing, very well organised by all. MJ was delighted with his win and we were very proud of him. He is more interested in the dogs than the horses, we don't know if that is a good thing, but we will go with the flow as we all enjoy the dog shows. It was good to see Deirdre & Patsy, looking forward to seeing her photos. Her whippet Paris is as quick as ever when she won her race. Well done to Graham and his dog Gypsy, better luck next year. Well done to Albert & his security as it made the show much more enjoyable. See you all again next year if not before.

Margaret,

 

Just home from Birr after meeting with Lord & Lady Rosse who asked me to pass on their thanks to the the Rosscrea Club , Matt Lee and all the terrier, whippet and lurcher competitors for helping make the fair a huge success. To that I add my own thanks and the thanks of our team. Sorry I didn't get to see as much of the showing and racing as I would have liked but I sprained my ankle just a couple of days before we travelled to Birr and was rather buggy bound all weekend!

 

My congratulations to all of the winners and especially the Le family from Rosscrea ( no relations of the Northern Lees!) great to see the kids involved with the dogs; to Paul Reid for a superb performance in not only winning two qualifiers but the final of the inaugural Five Nations Championships. And of course my personal congratulations to the Silverfox on his win. We had a robust discussion on another forum but as most of you know I don't hold grudges and I was pleased to see he didn't either.

[Guest ladyjane]
