Latest fun day news

Everything is going to plan so far, the entrance to the field has been attended to so that it isn't such a drop which will make it far easier to get in and out of for smaller or lower cars, especially if it does get muddy!
The one problem we have is that the ride on mower is still at the repair shop, so the grass may be a bit longer this year, but the show ring will still be cut.
We also now have a face painter for the children (and no doubt some adults too!) it is always popular and events so we hope she gets a good amount of attention.
The Pooch Mobile is hoping to go for the record for the highest amount of dogs bathed in one day, Kevin has held this record until recently when it was taken off him, he is pretty keen to get it back. I am not sure it will happen though as 27 dogs is a lot!
There will be a few different raffles run, 1 is for a prize of a portrait of your dog done by Phil Hayes, which I am sure will be most popular as his work is greatly admired by all who see it. The 2nd is for an hours tattoo session at the fun day (so this will take place quite early on) by Madtattoos who are attending with their mobile tattoo studio. Then 3rdly we will be having the usual raffle with several prizes.

More fun day news

The Pooch Mobile dog wash will be attending, so your dogs can have a bit of pampering!
There will also be an inflatable assault course, suitable for adults and children, this will test your stamina!
If the weather is wet, and we certainly hope it won't be there will be unbrellas for hire, if it is hot then they become sunshades to hire! Let us hope it is the 2nd one thay are used for.
If you came last year you will have seen Ted the man who made personalised raised wooden bowl stands. he is also attending again.

Fun day preparations

Everything is coming together nicely for the fun day, keep your fingers crossed that the weather is dry this week to enable the farmer to get the field cut, otherwise you will all have to bring strimmers!
This year the catering is going to be different with more variety, including baked potatoes with a choice of fillings, filled baguettes as well as the usual bacon butties etc. Hopefully this better selection will go down well.
Lou Miller photography is attending so you will be able to have professional pictures taken of your dogs, children or even yourself!
Madtattoos of Newark are bringing their mobile tattoo studio and there will be a raffle with the prize of a tattoo for the winner, as well as usual tattoos they also do temporary tattoos so you don't have to go for anything permanent.
There will be the usual auction and raffle, if you have anything for them please bring them along on the day.
We also have a different PA system so Lynsey shouldn't lose her voice this year!

If anyone would like to volunteer to look after a stall or help in some other capacity please do contact me = ann@bull-terriers.co.uk or 07780541143, the more helpers we have the better it will be!
