25 May 2009 - Sponsored Dog Walk, Battersea ParkHow about a sponsord walk?I'm looking to set something up in one of the London parks (Battersea Park?) If I get sufficient interest, I'll set up a page on justgiving.com, with all proceeds going to RR AND we can bring our furry friends I'm thinking early June (to give us time to raise some funds), and we could have a table selling cakes and drinks with all profits going to RR (which I'll also set up) Any takers? If so I'll look into the logistics, sort out the donations page, and set up some printable donation forms Sam |

Sam that sounds great and thank you very much for coming up with the idea and taking the initiative.
You can count me in to give you a hand on the day as long as it's not the 6th/7th June. Can be free on the other weekends, ready and at your disposal.

Thanks guys! |

i didn't need until the end of the week after all!! I can confirm that the lovely Lucie and i will attend!!!!! I will print off forms for the both of us (though, imagine my shame if she gets more sponsors than me!!!!). My Mum has also offered to "man" the refreshment stall if needed (that might free up Sharon for some walking???  ). I can also bring my trustee gazebo for over the refreshment table to sheild it from the sun/rain (i am hoping that i can park nearish to where it is needed, it is not the lightest of things!!!)

Well I'm definitely helping and TinaD is walking (with Lucie). Anyone else up for it? It would be truly lovely to see some of the homed RR doggies on the day
|
||
| Tina D |
I am also trying to rope in all of the children in my family, just waiting for their parents to give in to my relentless suggestions that it might be fun for them
|

 Just a thought, but if you need something to 'sell' on a stall, let me know and I can rummage through all the stuff I have stashed here. I am planning to take the 'doggie' things to The BOSC Dog Fun Day on 24th May but if anything is left over (!) perhaps we could get Tina D to take it up to you as she is amazingly doing both events 
Please, Tina D 
|
||
| TheBeavisFamily |
anything to raise moneyAs Ive said I'll be cake baking so anything else you think may "sell" would mean added money in the coffers for RR
|
||
| karen |
Will have a rumage, take advice, see what the weather forecast is and see what we can come up with
|
||
| Tina D |
I was thinking about the dog events that i went to last year to try and think of what made money and there was a stall selling bagged up sweets that went down very well with the kids. My cousin goes to Costco a lot so i could maybe get her to get me a couple of boxes of different ones that we can bag up and sell for a "tidy" profit??
I also managed to get hold of 6 bags of "fish for dogs" for only a pound each!! They usually go for about £5 each! |

for those of you who want to come long to support...Dee advises that there are some of you who want to come along to show your support on MondayDetails of the walk can be found in the attached - RR walk info.doc If you're coming, why not get some sponsors? form attached - RR SS form.doc Although it's a sponsored dog walk, we have 2 partakers who are without a dog - I'm happy to stretch the rules to make any extra cash! Be good to see you ll there - and please pray for sunshine!

Am buffing up my crocs in readiness
Let's hope this weather holds up

Hi,
The walk sounds like a great idea of combining raising runds with advertising RR and walking the dog at the same time! As we were unable to come along we have signed up to sponsor instead. |
||
| Tina D |
I can say that a good time was had by all!! Lucie is exhausted (as are we all!!!) Sam should be on later to give the total raised on the stall.
Not sure how well we would have done cash-wise but we spoke to some really lovely people and there was some interest in homing/fostering (fingers crossed that leads to something) and we may have another event thanks to a lovely police woman-watch this space...!!!! |

Phew what a day! The weather started out a little touch and go and miracle of miracles it brightened up and we had some lovely sunshine for most of the afternoon!
Sam & her family pulled out all the stops today and we really can't thank them enough for a truly outstanding effort - everything was thought out and planned to perfection. Sam's cakes for the humans were delicious
As always, TinaD gave her total support and brought her lovely mum along to give us a hand. TinaD's liver cake and homemade biscuits were in great demand and sold out as usual! We also had the pleasure of seeing Blue (JRT) & Trudy (SBT) and their forever owners. Sam will post later with further details and Tina has some photos. Lynne has arranged to take Deakon (Staffie) who was at high risk in a Northern pound on the basis of today's event - for me that makes today all the more worthwhile
Well done everyone and a big THANK YOU! |

Totals raised based upon monies pledged and todays stallSo, as Sharon said we had a lovely day and the weather was kindSo money raised on stall (extra thanks goes to my friends 10 year old Jessica who I borrowed for the day!!) was (drum roll....) £127.39 Total sponsors pledged (so far) £532.00 So total (so far) for the day £659.39 Not bad for a days work if I do say so myself
Also, should hear from Waitrose soon, and last time I looked, we were on for another £300 odd So that brings us nearly to £1k Thanks to all Sam x |
