Friends have been invited to have a stall at the Victoria Park Fun Dog Show in Barry on 6th May. It's the 4th year of running this event, and the organisers have invited Dogs Trust, Guide Dogs for the Blind, and have been looking for a local organisation to support - and have picked us ;D We'll have our stall, and the total proceeds from the show (after expenses) will be split 3 ways between the 3 charities - last year there was £1600 'in the pot' Friends have offered to help by running the Doggy Dash in addition to having our stall. The organisers will set up the Doggy Dash 'run', and do the certificates, rosettes, prizes etc This is a fabulous opportunity to get our name 'out there' and have a lovely day out. If you can come on the day, please post here ;D We'll need about 6 volunteers for this 'I'm up for a good time' day out This is potentially a massive Kennnel Fund booster, so please put it in your diary ;D

just looking at my diary.... it seems this fab doggie show (which could be a good earner with little effort!) is just four weeks away!!! what are the plans, do we have a team of volunteers/stalls 'manned' etc? Do we need to help with advertising etc to get a wider group attending the show? I know the craft stall are planning to be there no problem!

Only asking We'll be setting this up Bern ;D The fabulous peeps in charge are doing all the major sorting of the day, and have very generously chosen Friends as a beneficiary organisation for their event. Anything we can bring to the party is extra, and will help to swell the takings for the day ;D Watch this space for further details, but we do know we'll need vols, so if you're up for a good time, please post here ;D

So Susie do they know what is needed, length of run? Fence? Just asking. Yep - they've done it before Bern, so I'm not sure whether it will 'look' the same as ours, but they've just asked for peeps to 'man' it for them. They are having a meeting next Wednesday at 3.00pm which we are invited to. It's the same day as our Team Barclays midweek walkathon, but one way or another we need to make sure that we've got a representative there They are really looking forward to seeing the Human Fruit Machine ;D This is a lovely event in Barry - the Victoria Park Dog Group and the Vale of Glamorgan have been running this show for years, and it's getting bigger and better every time ;D We are very lucky to be one of the beneficiary organisations (along with the Dogs Trust and Guide Dogs) and if we're very good, they may ask us back next year Please come and put your hands up for this one peeps - it's going to be a cracking day out

Where did April go I can't believe it's May already - and this one is nearly upon us Please put your hands up if you can come on Sunday - we need quite a few helpers, and some of our bestest fundraiser Friends won't be around for this one. Gutsymum and Daffysmum and their wonderful clans have got a special prior engagement, and Becky & Kirsty will be on their way across the pond, so it's all hands on deck We need a pair of hands to help in the kitchen, a pair of hands to help with the doggy dash (Victoria Park Team are setting it up etc, they just need an extra pair of hands), we need peeps to man our stall, and also if poss a willing volunteer to help around generally, and make sure the dogs' water bowls are kept brimming We also need 3 peeps for the Amazing Human Fruit Machine - no experience required Please say you'll come Susie x
