& if I could afford to rent the big house I have fallen in love with just around the corner from me you could all stay there as it has 6 double bedrooms & about an acre of land for caravans/tents etc.
So if anyone wants to sponsor a years rent for the rescue that would be great

i have had another brainwave.....my very good friend Sarah runs a pampering business called Pretty Kitty, i have spoken to her already as she is looking to do more promo days. basically the company come to your home and do pamper parties for young girls, hen parties, makeovers, massage, individual appointments....My idea was to let her have a stand at the dog show, she could do mini nail paints, toe paints, shoulder massage for small contribution. All contribution would go you YTTBR of course, but Sarah would have the opportunity of spreading the word of her business, getting more bookings. We would benefit from another way of fund raising, having something different to keep people at the show all day......i can get a few more helpers from my daughters school......what do you guys think? just wanted to run it by you x

Is there still going to be a craft stall? I've knitted some coats to sell, but if they're not needed for the show I can send them on to Marion for the fosters.

Hi Pickles - some people are going and staying overnight in a nearby hotel. I don't know where you live but just thought I would mention it to you just incase you can make arrangements to travel to it.

Hi tandymar, (Good idea!!) I will check the location, trains and hotels etc... Plus being a weekend, it's even better. I'm travelling from the South West (ish) part of the UK. Shall keep you posted. I don't know that area at all...

Hi Sam

Apologies for not even thanking you for your very kind offer and it is a brilliant idea but you can call it crazy if you want. Val won't thank me for saying this but she hasn't been feeling too good the past couple of days,but just soldiers on. I know she will get back to you asap and now I'm away to hide cos she will bash me

I have hand made jewellry for the jewellry stall, mostly earrings and bracelets, one or two necklaces...when do I send them in, and where to please?
