Well the rain held off! It was a bit windy in places and TinaD had to get her hammer out and stake the gazebo, but all in all we were lucky. Disappointed that it wasn't as busy as usual and guess the weather played it's part in that, but at least it didn't stop us!

First highlight, was that I flashed an RR poster at the guy on the gate and told him what we were raising money for and he let us in with two full car loads for free! Saved us £14. The Barleylands people were kind to us and even gave us a fiver for the collection tin Very Happy

Well, a certain very handsome boy sends Dee a big wet slobbery kiss and wants to be remembered to her!!! Very Happy

Boy does he look fit! Arthur (RR dog) came with his family and paid us a visit! Pristine white soft coat, in gorgeous condition, lovely temperament, smiling all the way and now weighing in at 32 kilos! He has certainly moved forward since his rescue days. He is definitely a credit to his owners and very much loved. Lovely to see them all and many thanks to them for their kind donation Very Happy

Lots of posters given out today and nice to see lots of Staffie supporters.

On the way home I passed my local vet who was holding a Fun Day today. Not one to miss an opportunity Idea

, I parked up and went to see one of the veterinary nurses. (They already display our poster in their waiting area). I handed over the RR posters I had left from the bootsale and she promised to hand them out during the rest of the afternoon Wink

And here is the number you have all been waiting for ... drum roll ... £205!

Our next fundraising event will be: Northlands Park Fun Dog Show, Basildon - Saturday, 18th July, 2009

Alas, the dog mask was too small but hopefully Sharon will get out her needle and thread and we can have photos this week!!!

It was a good day, shame it wasn't busier (one of the men there said it was the slowest day of the year) but we made loads and gave out loads of leaflets so we may get some enquiries from it. We have been incredibly luck with the weather so far so we can't really complain. We were telling people about next week's one too so we may get some more people showing up!

Sharon did a sterling job getting us in for free, she had the poster ready and waiting, the poor guy didn't stand a chance!!!!

Sharon's Mum also did a great job sorting out the clothes (and then re-sorting them several times when the wind proved too strong!!) and was in charge of the clothes selling (and mostly in charge of us too!!!) We didn't take my Mum or Lucie (there was no room in the car!!) but i have got some photos of Arthur which i will put up later. x
