Hi everyone,

As always, we are inviting the generosity of our patrons and requesting donations for tombola and raffle prizes to help us raise funds at the event.  We would also be very grateful for any sponsorship anyone would like to provide.  Please get in touch through the contact page.

We still have spaces available if anyone would like to hold a stall at the event.  Again, please get in touch through the contact page for an application form.

So far we have the following events confirmed:

The Dogs Trust are holding their Fun Day & Fun Dog Show on Sunday the 25th of July in Strathclyde Country Park.  We will be there with our fun agility course and it is a great day out for the whole family, especially the dogs.  Click here for more details

Come along and support the Glasgow Dogs Trust!

See you there!

Canine Concern Scotland are holding their Annual Companion Dog Show in Queens Park Recreational Ground (next to the Victoria Infirmary) on the 6th of June 2010.  Canine Concern run the extremely worthwhile “Therapet” scheme in Scotland.  We have a few Therapet dogs in the club and 2 of Val’s dogs are Therapets.

We will be there supporting this great cause so please come along and join in the fun.  The last couple of years it’s been great weather too!

See you there!

Every year, at the end of term we get a photographer to come along and take portraits of your dogs and your families.  As they did such a fantastic job last year we have asked the same photographers,  Chris MacRae and Suzanne Louden to come back again this year.

We have booked them for Wednesday the 2nd and Thursday the 3rd of June 2010.  Classes will be on as normal, and if you want your picture taken, we will have a studio set up in another room.  It is all very relaxed and informal, you can be in the pictures, or just your dog and please feel free to bring the whole family along too.

Thanks
