Wow..that was fun packed weekend! Saturday I spent the day with Susie and Hugo from Healix doing some first aid for London embassy consular staff who were all playing in a football tournament. Thankfully only a couple of minor injuries and a fun day was had by all. Russia were the eventual and worthy winners after a very tense penalty shoot out. It gave us a chance to test out the new gazebo too before Sundays dog show and we were very pleased with it I have to say.
So Sunday was an early start to set up the stalls and ring for the dog show. Entrants started arriving just before midday and when they did they arrived in their droves. Never have I seen such a collection of beautiful and pampered pooches. Everywhere I turned there was a dog to die for. Fabulous. It was a really fun day and what a lovely atmosphere with lots of the local community and families joining in the fun.
Here is a link to lots of the photos from the day. You can see what we got up too and how well supported the event was. Thank you Hampton locals you were amazing!!
We had a tombola and refreshments on sale as well as lots of lovely local businesses who set up stalls too and came to support and drum up business for themselves.
By the end of the day we were all shattered but had such a good time.
I shall post a list of the winners this week and a few more tales of the day but for now take a look at the photos. After expenses for the PA system and the refreshments we have counted all the pennies in at £596 which is amazing so that takes us a few more percentage along the way to our goal too. :-)
The other bonus was all the worry last week meant I lost 4lbs so have to be happy with that. I think this stress/anxiety could be quite useful!!
Thanks again all who came and supported the show. Maybe we will do it all again next year.
