Summer Fair Success!

Posted on by

We may not have been lucky with the weather but our fabulous team pulled together and made it a successful Sunday!

Over the weekend we raised £1,622.93 which is such a great result!
Thank you to everyone who donated items, came along to see us and all of our dedicated volunteers who worked so hard throughout the weekend – setting up, putting down stalls (in torrential rain), running stalls and having a fun time!

The Handsomest Boy Class.

Thank you to Southampton Ukulele Jam https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1EwdqQrVTE/?mibextid=wwXIfr for performing for us at our fair, you were amazing as always!
Thank you to Paws & Treats – Dog & Cat Bakery who joined us over the weekend by having a stall at our event and donating donuts to our kennel greyhounds!

Our doggie lucky dip was very popular!

We had plenty of stalls for the whole family including our ‘Seaside Soaker’ which was a popular game for all ages!

Well Done Mike for raising lots of money for our kennel greyhounds.

Our next event is the Lymington Street Collection on Saturday 2nd August.  If you are local please come down and see us!

Appeal:

We are getting low in stock in our tinned dog wet food and sardines.  If anyone is able to purchase some we would be very grateful.  Our greyhounds like all tinned meat and love their fish but would prefer if they don’t have them in brine!
Diego and friends will be very happy and there are plenty of cuddles available in return!

New Greyhounds:

Rocco and Autumn.

Reserved Greyhounds:

Zia and Devon.

Homed Greyhounds:

Gus, Diego and Curly.
