Great Publicity For Ggfofi Mick The Miller Race


Recommended Posts

I think the best way to promote my chosen sport is to keep myself to myself, and go about my sport without drawing unwanted attention to myself. Therefore you will never see me in any magazine, never mind the over priced one you produce, you keep repeating yourself and to be honest it gets a bit boring after a while, so good luck to you and your team, a team that includes irelands only professional rabbit catcher or so he proclaims. Been involved in fieldsports for a long number of years and never heard of him until he started writing in magazines, i live less than 5 mile from his home town, so if he was the great sportsman he claims to be im sure i would have heard his name before now. But as ive already said good luck to you and your team. Keep up the good work

You lads should come to England and see how much support lurchers and terriers get at shows.....not a squint of what you guys get

Well WB you appear to be someone who 'keeps himself to himself' but is not slow to criticise others doing something positive.

 

Rather pathetic too with the little jag ' over priced magazine'. As usual as INACCURATE as the rest of your rhetoric. What other magazine is as good value in Ireland as the IRISH COUNTRYSPORTS & COUNTRY LIFE magazine in its hard copy edition?

 

And of course the magazine is available FREE TO READ online for those people who choose to read it in this format www.countrysportsandcountrylife.com

 

The magazine, again an effective vehicle for promoting and defending country sports including giving the sporting organisations a voice with c 100,000 readers per issue is the MOST READ EVER Irish hunting, shooting and fishing magazine so obviously few people interested in Irish country sports share your opinion.

 

It would appear that you would prefer us to 'keep ourselves to ourselves', 'follow our own sport', not organise Game Fairs or publish the magazine, be on the dole and give our dole money to charity! If that is your opinion for what would be good for country sports in Ireland you ARE entitled to it.

 

Meanwhile for those preferring to see something positive done for Irish countrysports - see the attractions at the Shanes Castle Game Fair www.irishgamefair.com

How many people does it take to run a GAME FAIR?

 

Some people appear to think the GREAT GAME FAIRS of IRELAND is a 'one man band'. I am flattered that they think this but I thought this photograph of the press launch AND JUST some of the representatives of terriers & lurchers, angling, living history and gundog competition organisers pictured would give an idea - multiply this by five or six, add in the clay shooting guys, the people who do demos, stewards, workers on the ground, security, safety staff etc and you get an idea. And if you want to see just how much we do for the various sports including the terrier and lurchers see www.irishgamefair.com

Glad the ladies could get you sorted out with accommodation - quite a few travelling from the UK and of course from all over Ireland. Don't be put off by the few disgruntled people on this forum. Most Irish terrier, lurcher and whippet owners are most sporting. Meanwhile you can download a free programme to read on the ferry, http://irishgamefair.com/pdf/GF_Programme.pdf

      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
