Well the ferry is booked and it's all systems go for a visit to Ireland for Jackie and Liz plus Border Collie Joss and Beardies Bella, and hopefully,  Diva (if she can refrain from coming in season in the meantime!)

The herding event is planned for the last Saturday in August (30th) and flyers are being distributed courtesy of Deirdre Robinson and other members of the Bearded Collie Club (Northern Ireland Branch), It seems the level of interest could be high, not only from the Beardie owners but also from the owners of other pastoral breeds.

It promises to be a very interesting and lively weekend!
