[Ayrshire Lass 74]

Still no show, but the club will be running the lure, so at least we got racing, hopefully show next year!

Dont think its good enough they had plenty time to organise a proper Lurcher show as well as racing.

[nothernlite 18,076]

how much is it to get into the show or the game fayre ?

[Ayrshire Lass 74]

I know, was not even going to go because there was to be nothing for terriers and lurchers. They asked the lure club to do racing, think someone has been trying to get in touch with them about a show, but can't get hold of anyone.

Looked at the Galloway page, £12 entry.

They can shove it in there a**e !! 12 quid and no show, there only trying to save a bit of face by offering some bag chasing

Thanks for that! We have got a space to run racing next to the traders car park, so hopefully all will be ok. x

I tried to get in touch with an organiser as we were going to set up a show for them, last minute but it would have been something.. There is seemingly no more space on the ground of the game fare so looking like a no go....

[gonetoearth 5,144]

No more space its a massive park lol

[Country Joe 1,411]

No more space, if its anything like previous, you go round it in a hour.

[CBdogsA1 420]

I for one won't be going, no show = no go.

 

Ayrshire lass, I see where you are coming from with running the racing to give the lurcher and terrier owners something to go for. For me, this only lets them get said people through the gates for entry money, and they will see people walking about with terriers and lurchers and think 'oh well, see, they came without a show so no need for one'. The only way to get them to notice is by not going and walking round with your dogs and believe me, they will be looking.

 

Next year, 2 day show. Watch this space.

I was apalled there wasnt a lurcher show on the sunday......

 

But after thinking about it.....

 

After paying my entry fee to the game fair.... £12....£17...+......

 

Last thing im wanting to do..... let alone the wife and wee man.....

 

Is stand at a show ring for most the day....waiting for 1/2 classes to come up....

 

Its a total waste of a day.....

 

Theres shows all over the country.....all over britain.... couple of quid entry........

 

What would make it worthwhile?......

 

2 simple things......

 

..... times for classes....so you can go away and come back knowing your class is at 2 etc.....

 

And racing all day.....

 

Who wants to wait until 5pm to run the dogs?....the kids have had enough by then.... the dogs have had a belly full of moping round the fair and the wifes spent all the money....
