Judges for 25th All Ireland Terrier, Whippet and Lurcher Championships Shanes Castle Sunday 8th July Start 12.30 sharp
In line with our policy of publishing the judges names in advance of our events and because of huge number of people who have contacted me to see the judges before they make plans to attend I have decided to release these now rather than wait for our full launch in Irish Countrysports and Country Life magazine and general press on the 12th June. All other details including the BEST ever Irish prize structure for Terrier, Whippet and Lurcher competitions will be released then PLUS we have a few other new attractions and OF COURSE the MASTER MCGRATH final and the heats and final of the new DIRECTORS' NOVICE LURCHER CHALLENGE. taking place ion the Saturday. In short, it is our aim to make this the best Irish Terrier, whippet and lurcher weekend ever BUt of course we still have Birr to come.
All competitions racing and show with the exception of the MASTER MCGRATH Challenge are open to entries on the day to make the All Ireland Terrier & Lurcher Championship titles truly open to everyone.
Overall our 50th fair is shaping up very nicely with our best overall prize fund ever; we currently have more stands booked in than last year and we are receiving at least half a dozen enquiries daily so the fair will be the largest ever seen in Ireland ; we have several new attractions and a massive media and advertising campaign planned.
I am sympathetic to people wishing to attend over two days so if that is your intention please contact me and I will work out the best deal possible for you.
Our judges are all from Scotland and I hope that you will recognise that we have incurred expense to bring them across, they are all very knowledgeable dog men and they have our total confidence. I hope you will not pre-judge their judging and take their decisions in the sporting fashion that we here in Ireland used to be famous for.
They are : Terriers : Derek Davidson
Lurchers : Stuart Den Bell
Whippets : Leigh Marshall
