Please remember all dogs racing must be muzzled

 

All whippets must have papers(to be shown) otherwise will race with under 21

 

Only under 21s will be measured.

 

Lurchers will be split same as mourne raceday with elite and lurcher classes with same prizes for both

 

All racing will be after Digging

 

Showing starts 12.30 with free childrens class

Hope to see you all there on the day

 

Tango , does that mean under 23's will not be measured? , iv seen a few "unders" dissappear since measuring has come in...

the racing at the mourne has ran two years under these rules without a hitch. at the end of the day it has to stop somewhere, as always at the mourne if anyone has any issue with a dog they are racing against all they have to do is shout and we will sort it out there and then.there are not many dogs that havent been measured now im sure. louiejoe any whippet without papers will go in the under 21 race in which they will be racing lurchers afterall. commonsense and honesty is a very rare thing the last few years lets try and find some and have a good day with the dogs and family for a bit of craic and a good cause. y.i.s kieran.

Just incase your wondering where chine the U23" lurcher is, she has not been at any show's this year due to her being in season, if ya new anything about bitch's then you would know that you cannot run them in season for a few month's. and if you where referring to my bitch china she has been messured for 6year's by the main club's all over the uk. and even over here she was messured 3 time's at one event. i think 6year's is long enough for messureing one dog alone. all the best thank's

Now .....rant over?

 

 

Leanne /John, This comment was not directed at anybody in particular....!

incase you have both forgot "china" run at my show last year in the under 23's and won!! So im wondering how you could take this to heart...! :hmm:

Its clear to be seen how much lower the enteries are for the under 23's racing since the NILRC have declared measuring , which is the first time I ,in 15 years of running to these events that i have ever seen measuring of any dogs at any event!!

The NILRC are doing something that should have been done a long time ago,so fair play to them..

and im certain the two men in charge of the NILRC are more than capable of measuring a dog and keeping a record so the rest of us dont have to worry about this...

Just hope that the rest of the clubs can take a leaf out of the NILRC rule book and make things fair for all....!

      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
