FOSS Show 18th August

[lynne]

As this is getting closer thought I'd start a thread for those coming along.Will add details later.

I'm bringing :-
2 pasting tables
Tombola
Teddy Tombola
Mystery Bag - these will be £1.00 and will have samples of dog food and a toy.Many thanks to Land of Holistic Pets for donating a generous amount of 150g samples plus a 2KG bag of food which I will use as a bonus prize for the Mystery bag - 1 bag will be marked with a star and whoever chooses that will win the large bag as well.
I have a couple of coats,some collars and leads and harnesses etc for sale too.


What I don't have is any publicity - including notices for the games as I have no printer so if I can email someone details and they can bring along that would be fab.

Oh and I'll be bringing Trixie - ex TLDR and FOSS dog and Duncan of course

I know a few people are coming along,let's make this a real success and spread the word about TLDR I'll crosspost onto a few forums the show details as well.

Maybe a mod can add to this creating a list of what we will have or need so it can be edited as necessary?

Does anyone have a TLDR bandana I could borrow for the day for Trixie (assuming she behaves and I want het to be associated of course)

The show is tomorrow, please pop along and say hello, we are down the side of the building outside so please don't miss us, we have a tombola, teddy tombola, fish4dogs goody bags, mystery bags and loads of other things for sale.

We really need to raise some funds for the rescue so this is the perfect opportunity.

[Sam]

Best of luck for tomorrow ladies. Hope you all have a fantastic day. Will be thinking about you all x

[lynne]

Car is packed except for Tombola prizes - if they don't fit in the gap in front seat I'm in trouble......dogs are sharing back seat with a big bag of Teddies.....Looking forward to meeting some TLDR folks tomorrow.

[Girlytrude]

Have fun girls! Wish I could be there but it's a bit far from Sheffield! Lol And there's not room in my car for 8 dogs. I'll be thinking of you and hoping the weather is dry but not scorching.

Have a lovely time, it would be great if you raised lots of money, but the most important thing is that you meet lots of lovely people and spread the TLDR word, and HAVE FUN! XX

[Deleted]

Today's the day!

Best of luck to everyone involved - you've all worked hard preparing for this so all that's left to do now is enjoy it.

[cavalier789]

Sammy and I enjoyed meeting all, thanks for making so welcome

[lynne]

Just got home after a great day.Fab to put faces to names,the Show was very well attended - far more people than I was expecting - and some really lovely dogs too.Don't know what we took but it looked fairly good.Trixie was OK thankfully - although did give me a shock when she slipped her collar - mid grumble with a much larger dog.......

[Girlytrude]

Jo's gave me a quick update by phone on the way home. Can't wait to hear more. It sounded like it all went really well. Thank you all for such a great job. And I hear our Toby Chi (recent TLDR adoptee) made an appearance too XX

[Deleted]

Well we had an amazing day, the weather was brilliant apart from the 10 minute torrential downpour, loads of people turned up to the show. A lot of TLDR leaflets were handed out and awareness of the rescue was raised.

I would like to say a huge thank you to Lynne, Lynn and Phyllis as without their help the stall could not have happened.It was lovely to finally meet Lynne

We had loads of stuff for our stall, so thank you everybody for your donations, a few photos of the stall -









It was really nice to see Phylis again and Sammy our lifetime foster dog, he was a total sweetheart and so well behaved and a credit to the rescue



Got to meet Lynne today and her 2 gorgeous terriers



Lynn also had her ex TLDR dog Taz with her and he thought he would help himself to the lucky dip when we weren't looking



I also met the lovely Sue and Patrick today with the recently adopted Tobi, they are the most amazing people ever they totally dote on Tobi and he is so well loved and looked after and obviously went to the most perfect home ever




As you can see my pair really enjoyed the show !!!



Now down to the important part we raised an amazing

£240.02

[Girlytrude]

I am absolutely wetting myself at the photo of Taz....you naughty dog you..... <trying to maintain a stern face and failing miserably> Absolutely classic photo!

Jo, your girls look thoroughly bored by the whole thing! Rofl.

How many car loads of stuff did you have? There's stacks!!

Really good to put faces to names here too Lynne. I've even spoken to Phyllis on the phone before but have never seen her, so it's nice to now know who she is in my head too.

And what a fantastic amount ladies! Well done to all of you and thank you for all your hard work. Glad you enjoy it too, that's the important thing. Now, get yourselves a well earned glass of something and nice soapy bath and relax XX

[Deleted]

Brilliant amount raised and some you've got some fantastic photos too!
(unlike Sam and I who completely forgot to take any pics at the event we did two weeks ago )

Well Done Everyone!

[lynne]

Wow am amazed that we took that much - absolutely brilliant.Tobi was so cute - as were all the others too.Book me in for 2014.....

[Sam]

Sounds and looks like you all had a fantastic day. The photos are brilliant and how nice to put names to faces. Well done and a huge thank you to all of you for the brilliant amount you've raised for the dogs! x
