2010/2011 Annual Awards

Just a quick reminder that the cut off date for submitting your points for the Annual Awards is 14th October 2011. No points will be accepted after this date. Please ensure all points are submitted asap so I can get to work on 15th finalising the results ready for the AGM.

Photo Shoot – Sunday 9th October 2011

I have arranged for a professional photographer to come to the club on Sunday 9th October from 10.00am onwards to take some photos of my dogs.  He is also taking bookings from anyone else who is interested.

Visit his website: http://www.gorgeouspot.com
Go to the Gallery and look at the Pets section.  For those of you that know Nikki Collins – take a look at your Facebook page – she has some fantastic pictures of her new puppy!

Basically, it is £30 for a 30 minute session.  He will take as many photos as he can in that time with lots of different poses, stills shots, action shots, etc.  He will then put ALL the photos on a CD for you to print out whatever you want. The CD is yours to keep. 

First available session is 12.00pm and then every 30 mins from there.   It is best to have some ideas of what pictures you want so you can maximise the time.

Please let Julie Chapman know asap should you wish to book a slot.

Warning: Laugton Woods

This is a message from Becky Godridge for all dog owners who walk their dogs in Laughton Woods, nr Susworth:

Hi, my neighbour has been dog sitting her mums westie; took him and her old x
breed for a walk in the woods near susworth where the big stones are close to
gleab farm and the woodland car park, he has come down with the flu virus that’s
going about. The other dog is fine but the younger westie does not look good. Can
you just remind members its still really bad in there.  There are lots of red mushrooms I’ve never
seen before.

Please take care.
