 YES - YOUR DOG CLUB NEEDS YOU! [img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v355/stwaty/smilies/ ![]() img.photobucket.com/albums/v355/stwaty/smilies/love13.gif"].gif[/IMG] Things are going well regarding the planning behind the dog show. We've got a good background plan for the event, and we now know what help we require. Please contact Johnny if you can help out with any of the jobs listed below. IN THE RUN UP TO THE SHOW WE WILL BE LOOKING FOR THE FOLLOWING VOLUNTEERS:[/u] 1. DOG SHOW ORGANISER: This person will supervise the development of the actual dog show. Creation of a programme relating to the use of both arenas – the dog show and suitable demonstrations by dog clubs/groups etc. Will devise a registration form to record the names of owners and their dog’s name, the dog show categories, timings, and the acquisition of suitable rosettes and possible prizes. Will try to source a suitable megaphone for use on the day. Will find suitable judge/judges for the day. 2. CLUB FUNDRAISER: Will develop ideas by which our club can promote itself on the day, and come up with ideas for club side shows (eg - “Splat-the-Rat” and “Toss-the-Welly” etc). Johnny has a couple of friends who have volunteered to assist with this, but we are still looking for someone to take charge of this vital area and become it's organiser. ON THE DAY OF THE SHOW WE WILL BE LOOKING FOR THE FOLLOWING VOLUNTEERS:[/u] 1. DOG SHOW SUPERVISOR: Working as a team with the Dog Show Stewards - this person will supervise the overall running of the dog show from 10am-5pm. Will announce starting times for each category, and provide a commentary when needed. Will be responsible for, and pass onto the judge - the rosettes and dog show prizes. 2. DOG SHOW STEWARDS (2 Positions): Will assist the Dog Show Superviser throughout the day, and maintain contact with the visiting dog display groups and assist them when needed. 3. DOG SHOW JUDGE/JUDGES: We already have one person for this task, but another would be great, to split the job over the day. 4. CLUB FUNDRAISERS: Will staff the club stalls "Splat-the-Rat" & "Toss-the-Welly" on the day, John’s friend Jane will oversee the children’s play area, and will probably staff a kid’s stall, and her husband Nick will be doing kiddies face painting. However, we need at least another 2-4 people to cover this properly. 5. RAFFLE TICKET SALES: This person will sell raffle tickets for the events prize draw on behalf of The Dogs Trust. It's vitally important that they ensure people’s telephone numbers are on the reverse of the tickets, and will fold the tickets in preparation for the grand draw.

OK - I'll put you down for that then. You don't have to wear a flourescent vest, although this is a good idea from the show's perspective, as it clearly identifies the people who are running the show. So - not complusory - but I hope you'll consider wearing one.  |

Hi Can I be the Club Fundraiser please? I've got lots of ideas for the club's stalls due to helping at the kids school fetes  & I reckon I can arrange this as well as my other duties. Ben wants to man a stall on the day too but we'll still need a few more volunteers, at least 4 more I reckon... |

Obviously I can help with the stalls too throughout the day but I will need to be other places too. As Johnny said, most of Julian & my work will be in the morning so I can be available on the stalls while Julian sorts out the dog poo...  Do u think I should discuss this with him first? |

Hi Sara: Yes, I think that's fine, and I'll put you down as "Fundraiser". On the actual day - Julian and myself will be involved in getting the stallholders into their correct places, and throughout the day we will work together on keeping an eye over the whole aspect of the show. Thank you for volunteering for the position, and please have some thoughts on suitable fundraising ideas. I will try to see if sometime in the near future you can meet up with my friends Jane & Nick (& daughter), and perhaps you can then share ideas and work on it as a team.  |

Excellent Johnny, thank you! I was hoping you'd let me do this too I was also going to ask for your friends tel number so I can meet up with them and get the ball rolling with what we will do on the day. I cant help but wonder though - I also know a Jane & Nick who have a daughter - wouldn't that be funny if it was the same people! Can you pm/email me their number or ask them when it's suitable for them to meet or something - that would be great! |

Perhaps we could all meet up at the Earlham Park tearoom perhaps? It would be funny if they are the same ppl eh? |

Yes that would be a good meeting place, have a cuppa tea at the same time too I am sometimes available during the day between lessons or at weekends, so we should be able to come up with a suitable time between us all |

& I reckon I can arrange this as well as my other duties.
