 Scottish
Association for Country Sports
The Scottish Association
for Country Sports (SACS) has been involved with the
National Countrysports Fair for a decade and has
designated the fair as its Membership Event for Northern
Ireland. The Association's work in Northern
Ireland extends to the major areas of country sports in
the Province where it is represented on the main
Governmental bodies.
The SACS stand at the fair is the meeting point for the
Associations members in Northern Ireland and is
bristling with activities and displays that are of
interest to not just members but the public at large.
The Northern Ireland Stick Makers' Club will have an
interactive demonstration in the SACS marquee which will
culminate in that club's annual awards for the best
sticks in a number of categories.
BADA & SACS
 The
Borreliosis and Associated Diseases Awareness
organisation (BADA) which dedicates itself to the
awareness of Lyme Disease which is caused by tick bites,
will be present on the SACS stand to provide information
on this deadly disease and the preventative measures
people using the countryside for recreation can take to
reduce the risk of infection.
SACS Membership Team at the Fair
It goes without saying that an organisation with its
roots in Scotland has its resident piper. This
year teenager and Champion piper, Ross Forrest, will
entertain visitors to the fair with the skirl of the
pipes.
SACS Director, Ian Clark and his game fair team will be
on hand to provide membership information. SACS
are offering 25% discount on the entry price to the
National Countrysports Fair for its members through a
pre-purchased ticket. These can be had from the
SACS HQ.
The Down Field Target Club, which is a SACS affiliated
club. will stage the field target air rifle shoot at the
fair. This is open to everyone for a small entry
fee which will go directly into the club's development
programme.
