** The committee have decided that aswell as our annual donation to charity (this year Chest, Heart & Stroke), all money raised from the raffle at this last event will be donated to Macmillan Cancer, in memory of our dear friend and Club founder member Eddie McKinstry who sadly passed away earlier this year. If anyone would like to donate anything as a prize, all donations will be gratefully received as we would like to raise as much as we can for this very worthy cause in Eddie's memory. **

 

We are hoping to have someone from both of these charities/organisations present on the day to receive their cheques from the club

[Guest ladyjane]

Where's home bribri? It's a fantastic venue so I think worth travelling to, takes me an hour to get to it but well worth it! It's also quite central and handy to the motorway!

Copied from post by Chairperson Of Sporting Whippet Club N.I. :

 

The SWC will run it's final race and show day of the 2012 season this coming Sunday at Dunsilly Kennels, Antrim. During the course of this years terrier, lurcher and whippet shows, a lot of accusations, allegations and in some cases downright slander, has taken place, played out for all to see on various forums.

In going forward, our club will be considering it's options, the outcome to be decided...

at our AGM early next year. In looking at those options the committee have asked me to post this, asking for anyone who intends racing at future club events to bring KC papers with them this Sunday if they have them for their dogs. This will not affect any racing on Sunday, but it will give us some idea of how many registered dogs there are out there.

Just to clarify, KC papers are either English or Irish Kennel club registration papers, not a pedigree sheet.

its easy enough to get kc papers are yous going to anything else to stop all the cheating ? and we know its all the same few doing it each year

It may be easy to get KC papers, but they have to match the dog, anybody that knows anything about KC lines should have a good idea if papers are genuine or not.

Our club are only weighing up all options, and whatever we do as a club we can't stop anybody racing anywhere else! It's not up to us to sort out other shows problems, we have put a lot of hard work into our own club and some of us feel it's time to take it a bit further. How we do this is up to the members at the end of the day, time will tell!!

There are a lot of fake pedigrees with show dogs, its very easy to forged papers and lot of full GH that ware not registered some claiming to be lurchers, people asking for or offering dna tests, what tango is doing at his show will put a big stop to the cheaters and people with full GH
