Hi Val ... I just wondered if you had the above in a pdf or word format so I could email it to the members of our Dog Training Club please? Many thanks. Kate

[SJ]

Hi Val,
I would like to sponsor best brindle greyhound, best black greyhound and Veteran greyhound. Please let me know if that's ok and who to send the cheque to.
Thanks
Sam

[muppy]

Thanks Lorraine for that

Val

[lorraine88]

Hope I wasn't butting in - but I don't know of many people who have the pdf software so thought it'd be helpful

[muppy]

Lorriane not butting in at all.

I forget that my machine only seems to do pdf format and that if i need to do word i have to do it from work.

Thanks
Val

[kate]

Thanks Val and Lorraine ... I am circulating to Dog Training Club Members (we're all based around Holbeach). Kate

[tigger (Kev)]

I have just put date and venue in our newsletter which is going out to around 1,400 people in next few days.

Kev

[muppy]

At last i have a new computer so i can really start on getting things together.

Its going well already especially the bottle tombola which is good.

I will update over the weekend with sponsorship as i have had some classes sponsored.

Just sorting out the judges and they should be in place this weekend to.

I can also do a much better job on the brochures this year.

Keep you informed and updated much more now i hava a usable computer.

[jamsiesmum]

Hi Muppy, Let me know if you want me to send my sponsorship money to you before the show!. Or will it wait until the day?....Are you going to let us know who the judges are ?.
Rx

[muppy]

Well at last i have some news on the show. Sorry its been so long but things have not been great this end but hopefully are looking up now (fingers crossed)

I have added the judges all but the greyhound judge who will be getting back to me before the end of the week.

So as soon as that is done i will print out the schedules.

Many thanks to the people who has sponsored so far thank you very much. I have now sent out letters to local businesses to ask for sponsorship and to pubs for donations for the bottle tombola.

Fingers crossed that june & july are good and dry out the field as it is waterlogged at present.

Im just about to start on the broucheres as i call them for the show so if there is anything anyone wants included just let me know.

If you want any schedules or posters just let me know and i will send them to you. I hope to get more advertising done this yr such as in countryman weekly to boost the lurcher entry at least and will try and get it in more local papers although of course that all costs.

Tulip radio will be advertising it again for us and hopefully lincs fm as well. Any thoughts on advertising let me know.

I promise to keep you all better updated from now on.

Val

[muppy]

All the judges are now in place.

Just waiting for replies to come back now regarding sponsorship, raffle & tombola prizes.

Once again apologies for the lack of information but just as i think things have calmed down here something else takes its place.

I'll get there in the end.

Val

[tigger (Kev)]

Val,

You do a terrific job and I think it is totally fair to say that without you the show does not take place so you have nothing to apologise for in my opinion!

Thanks for everything
Kev

[lorraine88]

I agree - keep up the great work Val

[frohburg - Jackie]

Here, here Kev. Val is a super star and I can't thank her enough.

[kate]

It doesn't sound nearly enough thanks to put them here, Val, but you do organise everything so very well and this is only my second year of being involved. Very many thanks and I'm looking forward to helping with the KC stall on the day ....

[mary]

I certainly vote Val being a Super Star.....

[muppy]

awww guys you will make my head so big i wont be able to get through the door.

Its not me that makes the day it the people and of course the dogs that are the superstars.

And all the helpers to way to go you lot.

Sorry think the sun is getting to me.

Val xxxxx

[muppy]

Not a lot to report at the moment.

Both the tombola & bottle tombola are coming along as is the raffle.

Sponsorship is slow but i have just sent off another load of emails to companies and i am starting to get replies from the first lot as well so hopefully the classes will start having names next to them soon.

Many many thanks to everyone who has already sponsored.

Also the stands/stalls are going well with the latest being a photographer always nice to have at the show.

Fingers crossed for a lovely day not to hot the same as last year would be nice.

I will keep you updated as and when things come in.

Val xx

[muppy]

well the first two classes outside the greyhound section have been sponsored so many thanks to the haybarn country store for sponsoring classes 16 & 17.

[mary]

Val is there a poster for the show......thought I could put one in our pet shop.

[muppy]

Yes posters are now ready if anyone wants one to put up anywhere just let me know where to send to.

Thanks

Val

[kate]

Hi Val, I'd like a poster please to put in local pet shop. Can you email me a copy to [e-mail] please and I can print off. Many thanks. Kate

[muppy]

Hi All,

At last I have achieved what i thought was impossible condensing the schedule to appear on 2 pages only while trying to keep all the necessary information on it.

I attach it and please feel free to print it and hand it out if you are attending any shows.

Update for the show all going well the only bit of what i would consider to be bad news is that there is going to be another companion show just down the road from us on the same day can you believe it.

So have to work hard to make sure peiople attend ours.

Val

[mary]

Thanks Val,
Downloaded poster and it looks great....

[jamsiesmum]

Hi Muppy, Have you thought about popping your show on the Kennel Club website for companion shows ?...Rx

[muppy]

Hi,

Yes i have continually asked them to put it on and they keep saying yes we will but as yet still not on there although i havent checked today.

It will be in dog world, our dogs, countrymans weekly, spalding today, and on all the websites i can think of, as well as tulip radio & lincs pm both on air and in the diary section, and the local papers the week of the show to and any shop that will put it up. Plus i will stick posters up where people take their dogs for walks to.

I did have a large banner type thing im going to look for and paint the show on it and see if i can actually put it up at the fun farm so people can see it advertised at the boot sales.

Any ideas of where else to put it (no rude remarks please) just let me know.

Val
