See there's two shows clashing on the 1st of June.......................thought the whole point of publishing these dates was so folk could look and see and not clash..............both are also qualifiers for 5 Nations and Birr, dates are normally respected if another show has already taken a particular date, maybe it's a mistake??

It just seems either stupid or deliberate, but when you go to all the trouble of putting up all the dates, then they are just ignored, NI is a small area and to split the entry is just stupid.....................only my opinion, especially a s one is for charity!

no janet its not a mistake, i had no other way round it and was giving the date by landowner for the 1st june as he was not happy at all with the show being run on the sunday as he attend's the church across the road from the show field. he doesnt want to upset his neigbours. and i have to respect his wish's as iam very lucky to get the ground as it is. ive no other choice and as ive said on my event page on facebook iam sorry for any trouble that this may cause. but if i dont take the date i dont have a venue. thank you margaret for your help

well both shows are going to suffer, I just think in such a small area as NI you couldn't have found another Saturday? Yours is for charity after all and surely you want as many folk as possible there? Just a thought :)

yes i know where your coming from.but theres nothing i can do. but as i stated in my last reply it was the landowner that has giving me the date, and ive no other choice but to take it. and i have to respect that and the date he has giving me' are there would be no event for this charity. yeah it could suffer in a way with the doggy folk but its also a community event awell. it is for charity and i hope to get the crowd in, as autism ni will be there on the day to help to get as much support as possable.

I agreed to give qualifiers to Leanne's show on the basis it was on 2nd June. I had already given Fiona qualifiers for her show on the 1st June. I do not wish to have two qualifying events on the same day so have asked Leanne to sort this matter out with Fiona. I hope they can manage to avoid each others dates altogether but if not they might wish to share the qualifiers. I leave it up to them but Fiona has first claim on the two FN qualifiers and the Maste Mc Grath - if the qualifying races are run under NILRC rules.

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.

      A TRIBUTE TO THE LATE JIMMY SCOTT, A TOP DOGGIE MAN IN OUR COUNTRY SPORTS FRATERNITY, WHO LEFT THIS WORLD ON Christmas Day.
      By appleblossom
      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

      The Combined Clubs Dog Show and Northern Ireland Champion of Champions Saturday 7thSeptember 24
      By appleblossom
      The Combined Clubs Dog Show and Northern Ireland Champion of Champions Saturday 7thSeptember 24
      Laurencetown is famous for its green fields, ancient buildings, walled gardens and extensive lawns stretching down to the River Bann. But as well as these famous landmarks, Laurencetown can add another string to its bow by adding the annual Combined Clubs Dog Show and Northern Ireland Champion of Champions to its attractions and venue.    
      Saturday was one of the warmest days of the year with the sun shinning down continuously. I got burned alive but all well worth it. Our Country Sportsmen, women and children came out to this now annual dog show to enjoy the last days of the summer sunshine. 
      Our summer Dog shows have become canine excursions from all parts of the country North and South of the Border. Saturday was no exception with a good turnout of Terriers, Lurchers, Whippets and Strong dogs.
      And wait for it, the big surprise of the day and what a pleasant surprise that was. The McGrath Racing Club arrived unexpectedly for a family day out to support the show. And guess what they acted on the spot with an impromptu few races to the joy of many of the racing fraternity at the show.
      The childrens handling class was first on the list and judged by Marian Cree. What a turnout of children in the ring on Saturday. I can still see the smile on Clodagh Gentle face on winning 1st with her   Whippet Clive. These young boys and girls are our sportsmen and women of tomorrow. I have no doubt in my mind that these little people will carry on the sport after our day. Well done Marian and congratulations to all.  
      Very soon it was show time. Here are the Results.
