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
Just over 1,000 photos were taken, so there should be something for everyone who took part – not only prizes, certificates and rosettes but memories captured through photos.
There is a much larger selection of high quality photos one the photographer's site HERE. Steve says:
"Here you will find photo albums for the 2009 APAG Dog Show!
There are over a thousand pictures from the show so I've divided them into 10 albums to make viewing a little easier. You might want to look at a couple of albums now and come back later to view some more...
The original image files are very large, so to save space on my server I've had to reduce the quality of what's here. What you do see here will probably be ok if you print them up at 7" x 5" (some might get away with 10" x 8").
If you see something that you'ld like a better quality picture of, drop us a line saying which picture you want (each picture has a unique number) and I'll email the large file to you.
I can get large prints done at reasonable cost. For "standard" sizes why not use your normal print supplier?
