A small selection of photos from the wonderfully successful APAG Dog Show - see them HERE.

Our community's first dog show proved to be a fantastic success, with people and their dogs attending in big numbers. The show ring was big and was still full to bursting in many of the classes. We saw everything from Child Handling to a dog looking just like Harry Potter. Comments from the start were "what a fantastically organised event" to "when are we doing it next year?"

The purpose of the event was to raise funds for additional dog poo bins, which we achieved. The bin by the main entrance will be replaced with a multi use bin and the dog poo bin moved to further along the path.

These events cannot take place without willing volunteers to organise and help on the day, so a big thank you to everyone who helped. Next year’s Dog Show is already booked – Sunday 19th September 2010, so if you would like to help, however small please contact us as soon as possible.

We would also like to thank the local businesses who sponsored this event as without their kind donations the profit would have been considerably less:

Highcroft Veterinary Practice, Renatic Garage, Park News, Casanova Hair Salon, Chathams Dry Cleaners, Diamond Pet Store
