Get along for a fantastic day for the dogs and dog parents alike!
August bank collie-day comes round again. ππ»πβπ¦Ίβ₯οΈβ₯οΈ
It is a great pleasure to announce the launch of the 5th annual border collie event, to take place in the grounds next to the cafe. We will give specific instructions to everyone who books to attend. ππ»
To make a booking, all we need is your name, how many humans would like to come, how many border collies and a mobile contact number. πβπ¦Ίππ»βοΈ
There will be a number of stalls in the marquee, but if any local dog related business would like to join us on the day, drop us a message and we can arrange it for you. ππβπ¦Ί
We are obviously weather dependent on the day. Last year was a really hot day, which is why a few dogs dropped out at the last minute. ππ₯²
The key points of focus on the day are:-
1. Photographic opportunities for a large number of border collies. Including drone footage if not windy. πΈπβπ¦Ί
2. A great opportunity for wonderful dog socialisation. πβπ¦Ί
3. Sharing knowledge and ideas. πβπ¦Ί
4. Stalls for local dog related businesses, including refreshments. πβπ¦Ίβπ°
5. Introductions to dog agility Pawformance Agility and hoopers......and more. πβπ¦Ί
6. We also take everyone for a 3 mile walk round the estate, giving people a chance to get to know fellow border collie owners. πΆπ»πβπ¦Ίππ»
7. It raises money for SHAK dog sanctuary. ππ»πβπ¦Ίβ₯οΈ
8. And it's lots of fun. πππ»π₯
Ps there is plenty of parking at the premises, including outside toilets. π
So, if you would like to join us, message Andrew on 07860 782377 βοΈ. Or, if you know anyone who has a border collie, feel free to share this leaflet with them. Thank you. πβπ¦Ίππ»πβ₯οΈ
