Hi All

Not sure if RR have ever been to Paws In The Park but it is an excellent day out and would be great for fundraising.

This year there are 2 events first on 20th & 21st June in Hampshire and again in September in Kent.

I'm not sure of the process to get a stand, would have to look into it. It was absolutely packed last year, stands included, Doglost, Alfies an many more.

Please leave comments on what you think, would be great fun!!!

I was talking to Sharon about this a while ago. I took Lucie (my dog!) to this last year and it was fab. I am happy to "man" a stall if there are others to help? My complete lack of geography means that i don't know how far away hampshire is Embarassed

but i will investigate and the Kent one is not too bad (about an hour and a half from me)

I have just had a look at the website and the Hampshire one is a bit far for me (but might be ok for those of you West of London) I can do the Kent one (with help) It is fairly expensive though (a stall inside is £75 and outside is £135 both plus VAT) but there were LOADS of people last year, so might raise the profile quite a bit, not to mention bring in much needed funds!!

The Hampshire one is 20-21st June and the Kent one is 12-13 September

HI All,

I would love to help out on the Kent Paws in the Park, I live about 40mins away from the Hop Farm.

Rhea,

I'd be happy to come help at both, Hampshire from Essex is about similar distance as the Kent one there's not much in it (so long as M25 is okay). Who does the decision lay with if this gets the go ahead or not? And would we be doing both days or just the one? There 10% discount if you book both days. Was really packed last year and i'm certain it will be again.

Please get in touch with an update as i'm sure the stands will sell out quite quickly. I am happy to drive if anyone from the Essex/East London area would like to travel up with me.

Apologies, but I will not be around for the September dates and the Hampshire event is quite a distance for me (Essex) Crying or Very sad

But before we consider booking let's see if we can get some teams together to cover them. So far we have:

20th & 21st June - Hampshire
Halina (stolenstaffys)

12th -13th September - Kent
Tina D
Halina (stolenstaffys)
Rhea

Is there anyone else available to give a hand?

I didn't realise that the price was for both days, so £135 isn't too bad really. Would you like me to book the Kent one?? I was thinking that we could maybe just do info/leaflets and collecting rather than too much bric a brac? Or maybe just pick out the "good" stuff I can make some more biscuits too, there are a lot of dogs there (obviously!) so they might sell quite well??

If we get a 3mx3m stall, table and two chairs it is £150+VAT (but i can pay for it) I think that would probably be big anough-what do you all think??

That sounds good let me know when it's confirmed il make sure i don't book nothing else for that day. Is it an outdoor stand we are getting? Hopefully the weathers good it was a really sunny day last year.

Fantastic news ... Tina D has very kindly offered to fund the booking fee for Rescue Remedies for the Paws in the Park fundraiser event in Kent on the 12th & 13th September! She will be booking it over the course of the next few days and welcomes the offer of support from Rhea & Halina.

She would be grateful for any other offers of assistance so please let us/her know if you are able to help.

All booked!! We have an outside stall (thought that might be better for both people passing and if we had any of our dogs attend). Have also got a table and two chairs from them rather than try and scrounge one.

It is Saturday and Sunday so if people could say which days they can help out, that would be fab Very Happy
