There was a great turnout of Whippets at this Pedigree show in the Queens Hall Newtownards last Sunday. All the usual whippet fraternity from Northern Ireland was in attendance and nearley all had their whippets entered for this well run show. There were quite a few english visitors there with their beautiful whippets, and all were enjoying this event. It was nice to speak to so many of our old friends, but we have also made quite a few new ones with our friends from across the water. A big congratulations to our good friend Lucinda Thompson (Barnesmore) who won the overall show with her beautiful whippet, and also the best Irish breed. Well done Lucinda. Also congratulations to Pamela Hunter who won the members class. For a pedigree show we did not do to bad ourselves, we were placed with 2 4ths with Goldie and Silver. I am sure the full results will be put up later. I will leave that to the experts.
A big thank you to Mrs Janet Duke and her most efficent back up team of helpers, also the judge on the day, for the professional way this show was run. Graham Meek, Davy Best and Tracy Gill had their sleeves rolled up all day helping around every corner.You gave us all another great day of enjoyment amoung friends. Not forgetting our resident photographer "Bluebell" who was in attendance. Bluebell snapped away all day, and no doubt will have lots of photographs up shortly. Thanks Deidre. Looking forward to seeing them Bluebell. We ended our day with an invitation to Jim & Lynn Murrays house in Newtownards , where a big bowl of Irish Stew , Crusty bread and hot tea was awaiting us. My husband big John, nearley ate them out of house and home. You would think he never got a bite to eat in his life. Bluebell and Patsy Mc Coy was also invited back to Jim and Lynns house, and they had to fight big John off at the table to try and get something to eat.
Jim and Lynn, many thanks for the meal, the welcome and the craic at your house. The meal was so tasty, and the company good. A brilliant end to a magnificent day.
