The kelvin valley lurcher and terrier club will be holding shows on Saturday the 16th and Sundays the 17th of august at the Galloway game fair .the shows will start at 11am with lurcher and terrier racing and a digging competition after the shows around 3pm.This is the only gamefair in Scotland with a show at it this year and we need all the support we can get to help show the sport in a good light. Theres plenty trophs and good qualifiers for the winners. The digging competition will be for teams of 2 the fastest team to dig a hole that a 900mm deep by 650mm square box can fit in wins.there will be plenty entertainment at the game fair to keep the hole family happy.

do we need to pay into the gamefair to show dogs?

[mbrydenuk 14]

There will be ring side parking and the show is inside the game fair so you would have to pay into the game fair.

This is only my opinion and thats all. The fair is run as an all round event and as stated above, the terrier and lurcher show is part of the event and the Kelvin valley club are happy to be running the T&L shows. In my mind this is a great opportunity to show the general public that yes , the people of the terrier and lurcher world do look after their dogs and are proud of them to. God knows we need some good PR.

Any terrier/lurcher specific shows I have been to are free or a donation to enter but I have yet to attend a Game/Country fair that has a terrier/lurcher show on that you don't need to pay at the gate to gain entry. Yes it would be great if we could say " I'm only going to the dog show mate, so I don't need to pay ", but how many would stick to that ? Very few and therefor we get the bad press again.

I wish the lads all the best for the 2 days and hope it runs smoothly.

 

Oh and another thing, if assenerot likes this I am on a winner
