The club's second Fun Dog Show & Family Fun Day will be held at the grounds of the Queen Elizabeth Hall, Worstead, on Sunday 8th July 2007, from 10am-4pm.
Please use this thread to keep updated about the show, until Stuart is able to create a new 2007 sub-board for us.
There's some important areas for members to get involved with, in the run-up to the event:
1. Arena Two: We are going to have a second arena this year, and are ideally looking for a dog agility team to come along, put on a display, and then get members of the public to "have-a-go" themselves. The proceeds would be split 50-50 between the agility club and our club.
Do you know of anyone who might be interested in doing this, or alternatively - have you any ideas for how the second arena could be used?
2. Stallholders: I am very pleased to say, that the majority of stallholders from last year are already down for returning again for this years show. However, we have lots of space available to us - so if you know of a person or club/society, that might be interested in a trade stand, then please ask them to get in touch. Dog/Animal charities are free, business rates are £15.00 for a 15ft x 15ft pitch, whilst £25 will get a 30ft x 15ft size.
3. Promotion: We will soon be receiving 5,000 leaflets from the printers, so if you are attending any dog shows in the run-up to July 8th, please let us know well in advance, and we can pass you on some flyers to dish out.
We found that this method of promotion was extremely effective last year. Not only can members hand them out at dog shows etc, but you can also pass them on to the ringcraft and dog agility clubs that you attend.
Also, you'd be surprised how many you can get through - simply handing them out to other dog owners you see when you're out on dog walks!
4. Sponsorship: Do you know of any club/business, who would like to sponsor our event?
We need raffle prizes for our "Grand Raffle Prize Draw". This year's proceeds will be going to the Kerry Greyhound Connection, who finds loving homes for ex-Irish racing greyhounds.
Any firm/club sponsoring our event will get a free mention on the back of this year's show programme, and a mention over the PA system on the day.
Please contact us if you can help out with any of the above.
