NEWSLETTER NO. 8
AUGUST 2010
Hello everyone!
Well, summer is slowly coming to a close and I am looking forward to the winter when the climate is so much better for the dogs.
We are celebrating the end of Summer 2010 with a BBQ on 9th October. As you know the Pig Roast was a great success so I decided to organise another similar event. This time we have caterers coming in to take some of the strain. Gates will open at 3 p.m. with food being served from 6. We have floodlighting as the nights will be drawing in by then. There will be a choice of different meats with salad potatoes etc. and starters and desert.
There will also be a disco and bar.
As with the last event if anyone would like to donate raffle prizes that would be very much appreciated.
Tickets are on sale now from the dog school. They are 15 euros each for adults and 10 euros for kids under 12. Under 5s go free.
Tickets are limited to 175 so it will be first come first served. Please come along and support your club. The dog park will, of course, be free that day.
Please state your preference for beef or chicken when purchasing your ticket and keep the ticket to hand into the chef for your food on the day.
I am doing a 6 part TV series starting some time in October so if anyone wants to put up a banner before then and the BBQ you will be sure to get some good advertising for your company or organisation.
Fees for the dog pool are going to have to go up to 5 euros per dog as the water bowser which I have delivered every 2 weeks to change the water has now trebled in price!
If you want to continue to bring your own refreshments to the park for the time you are welcome to do so until I can finally get a kiosk organised.
Classes are going to start at the end of October/beginning November. These will be on Saturday and Sunday mornings as before with one class on a Wednesday morning and one on a Thursday morning.
As I have about a hundred people waiting for classes I am going to grade the dogs according to age, size and ability. We will be texting/emailing people shortly to let them know which classes they will be in.
All new members starting classes please ensure that you practice what you learn during classes for at least 15 minutes each day. REMEMBER I am training YOU to train your dog. Do not expect your dog to become fully trained in just 45 minutes per week.
We are now fully booked for boarding until the end of the year so book early for 2011.
The monthly draw winner for August is Member No. 221
Good news from Geoff and Nadia whose dog Sierra was hit by a car. She is now on her way to a full recovery and will be a regular back at the dog park shortly.
I have been contacted by someone who is looking for a new home for two one year old border collies so if anyone is interested or knows of anyone who might be interested please let me know.
Thanks to Arthur for making my father welcome on his birthday last week and organising another great meal in Terrazza Restaurant, Spinola Bay where dogs are also welcome.
If anyone is looking for cheap flights to Holland please contact Leo of Principessa Tours premium member of Pelhams Dog School!!!
Best wishes,
MARLON
