A very big thank you to Albert j and his great team for there very generous offer of permitting the IWTF to have a stand and a opportunity to promote them selves at there 50th irish game fair at Shane's castle and also at Birr ,these are by far the biggest and best country fairs in Ireland and the federation is honoured to have been given this opportunity .

There will be members of the federation in attendance ,myself and Neil cooney that I know of so far so any questions you have in relation to the federation ,what we are about,our aims or if it's about starting up your own club and becoming affiliated to the IWTF please feel free to approach us.

We look forward to having a busy time and I hope that terrier men and women will attend these great fairs and show support to those that are giving us support.

Any new clubs wishing to join the I.W.T.F. should approach the stand we'll have at the Great GameFairs of Ireland with the name of their club,

Contact name,

Contact number,

£10 euro per member.

All details given to us will only be made available to the commitee ,should we need to contact you.

As the I.W.T.F. is still very much in it's infancy the membership cards might not be ready for Shanes Castle but will be sent on to club reps. to distribute amongst members.

We're trying to get a nice job done on the cards and it takes time so please bare with us.

The I.W.T.F. will be present at Shanes Castle on the Sunday and both Saturday and Sunday at Birr Castle on August 25 - 26.

Well done Sam and Neil, this is what is needed in Ireland both north and south. I see already we have something like 62 affiliated clubs in the south and 9 in the north and hopefully after Shanes and Birr those numbers will increase dramatically. Remember the old saying UNITED WE STAND,

I think a big thank you must go to Stop End for his energy & enthusiasm in helping get this going and having the 'grace' to fall in behind the new chairman. Also to Barry Wade for his advice. I had some concerns about the IWTF seeking to run before they could walk but I have been mightily impressed at the progress it has made very quickly.

 

We are delighted to facilitate you at the fairs and to help with your fundraising for the battles that will undoubtedly lie ahead.

      PLEASE NOTE : FROM THE PEN OF MARGARET Mc STAY
      DATE : 10.3.25
      AFTER HAVING A VERY ABUSIVE AND DISTRESSING PHONE CALL THIS MORNING AT 8.25am FROM SOMEONE WHO SENT ME AND ASKED ME TO PUT A WINNING PHOTOGRAPH UP ON MY SITE OF A VERY WORTHY WINNING PERSON AT CRUFTS, UNFORTUNATELY THERE WERE SOME VERY UNSAVOURY COMMENTS MADE UNDER MY POST. THAT POST HAS NOW BEEN TAKEN DOWN.
      AS I SAID BEFORE AND I WILL SAY IT AGAIN, I LOVE COUNTRY SPORTS AND HAVE DEDICATED A BIG PART OF MY  LIFE FOR OVER 30 YEARS  DOING EVERYTHING I CAN TO BETTER THE SPORT. WHEN SOMETHING LIKE THIS HAPPENS, AND THANKFULLY IT DOES NOT HAPPEN VERY OFTEN, IT PULLS ME DOWN TO THE DEPTHS. I TAKE MY OWN PHOTOGRAPHS  AT OUR SHOWS AND DO MY WRITEUPS IN A PROPER MANNER AND WOULD NEVER CRITICIZE OR BRUTALISE THE HARD WORK THAT ALL OUR SHOW ORGANISERS PUT INTO GETTING THEIR SHOWS ON THE ROAD.
      HAVIING SAID ALL OF THIS, I  MUST NOW  STRESS, ANY DEROGATORY OR HURTFUL REMARKS THAT IS MADE BY ANY INDIVIDUAL UNDER ANY OF MY POSTS WILL BE TAKEN DOWN IMMEDIATELY.  IF UNSAVOURY POSTS NEED TO BE MADE, PLEASE MAKE THEM ON YOUR OWN SITES AND NOT IN MY NAME, AS THE VERBAL ABUSE I HAVE TO TAKE IS NOT NICE, AND ESPECIALLY TO SOMEONE WHO ONLY  DOES GOOD FOR THE SPORT.
      AS WE KNOW COUNTRY SPORTS IS BEING PULLED THROUGH THE MUCK AT THE MOMENT,  WE AS PEOPLE HAVE THE  POWER, SO FOR THE GOOD OF COUNTRY  SPORTS  TRY AND PULL TOGETHER  AND HELP EACH OTHER OUT, AND WE WILL WIN IN THE  END. PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CONTINUE TO POST YOUR COMMENTS ON MY SITE AS LONG AS THEY ARE STRAIGHT AND CLEAN AND FOR THE GOOD OF THE SPORT.
      Yours in Country Sports

      A TRIBUTE TO THE LATE JIMMY SCOTT, A TOP DOGGIE MAN IN OUR COUNTRY SPORTS FRATERNITY, WHO LEFT THIS WORLD ON Christmas Day.   I Am Free Do not grieve for me now my friends and family, I am free. I am following the path God Laid for me. I took his hand when I heard him call, I turned my back and left it all.   I could not stay another day to show, to live , to hunt, to fish or play. I found my peace at close of day. Be not burdened with this time of sorrow I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow. Perhaps my time seemed all to brief. Do not lengthen it now with undue grief.   Lift up your hearts my friends and share with me. God wanted me now, He set me free.   From all in Country Sports Margaret Mc Stay
