As many times as I like Wetnoseman. Its a Free Country. I like helping old friends out, and people who appreciate me.You give me the impression,you have a heart like a swinging brick. Hope I am wrong.

 

I am not agreeing with Wet Nose Man but i do think that constructuve criticism or advice is this, it would be better in my opinion to keep all the posts about one show in the one thread, I realise that sometimes it seems better to start a new one of the original had negative bits but at the end of the day is it not a writers job to tell the truth the facts about the subject whilst many of you threads margaret give credit where credit is due often it is an overly generous and almost misleading account. The florencecourt show is poor and has been for some time the organisers lack people skills and and widely disliked. Florencecourt is one hour from me but I and driving 5 to Minerock harriers thats voting with your feet or in this case a tank of petrol. Perhpas the moderators could merge the threads for the shows that have multiple ones, it would be a much better your writes ups are excellent and you have a way with descritive writing and you and john are good people. So dont take this the wrong way.

I do appreciate your views hunt and fish, but to be truthfully honest, anytime I went to Florencecourt, I thoroughly enjoyed it, but that is from a womans point of view. And the reason why I always start a thread on my own is, I do not want to be associated with any criticism of any show no matter where it is. I feel If the organisers put the effort in to organise a show for everybodys enjoyment, then I should appreciate what they have done for me and everyone else at the show. Look how many young children and families enjoy these shows. My policy is, if I cannot write something good about the show, then I will not write about it at all. Thanks for your reply, I do understand, but I would hope you would also appreciate where I am coming from.

      The Tally Ho Dog Show and Raceday Saturday 3rd May 2025
      As 7am on Saturday morning 3rd May 2025 rang out loud and clear in our house, I crawled out of bed and thanked god for allowing me another day on this beautiful landscape of ours called the Emerald Isle. With the joys of spring in my heart, Mr Fox away on his summer holidays, the work in the field completed for another season, it was show time again on this side of our Island. 
      Suddenly the seasons were telling me it was Tally Ho show time of the year again and time to get our Canine friends in the show ring and on the race course, for the start of the summer Dog show and Race Days schedule. 
      Some of us have had joyous occasions in our families since the last showing season, and some of us may have had great sadness, as fate can throw all sorts of problems in the pathway of life. As we dusted ourselves down after our winter woes, Saturday was a day to leave all our cares of yesterday behind and head to Crumlin for  the Tally Ho  annual dog show and race day.  And what a days enjoyment with our loyal Canine friends that was.
      The weather was beautiful, but tinged with an east wind that would cut you in two. As we approached the field, we could see very clearly there was very little parking space left. Each year this show grows bigger and better. Peter Morgan being the caring gentleman he is made sure he kept a parking space for the now 2 senior citizens and of which we were very grateful. 
      By midday the field was full to capacity.  In the show rings there was a big turnout and a great mix of top quality dogs in all categories. 22 races and 28 children in child handling class.
      As I moved around the rings, I met up with some old friends and some new ones too. Michael Reilly travelled up all the way from Tipperary. Yapper Hayes came up from Kilkenny and Stephanie O Connor and family and Mc Grath Family travelled up from Carlow.  All great doggie people and support every show and race day North and South of the border.
      Stands were situated around the show ground. Paul Boyd with loads of canine supplies/ Alannah Harpur and her sister with some beautiful Tea Shirts and Mugs and Mary Kate Quinn was there with her amazing art work . What an interesting and talented lady to speak to. There was a burger stand on site and 4 toilets dotted all around the field.
      Our children as usual were well cared for by the Tally Ho show organiser Peter Morgan, both in the ring and outside it. Two bouncy castles were on site and inside the ring were trophys, medals and big bags of sweets for every child. A real childrens paradise. Some sleepy we people on Saturday night.
      Time waits for nobody. The moment had arrived after the long cold winter to get our Canine friends out of the field and into the show ring and on the Race course.
