Hi Folks, We've made enquiries about Gap hosting Saturday street collections in the following towns: Liverpool city centre
Warrington
St Helens
Southport (Sea! Sand! Ice cream!)
So far we haven't specified any dates: That will come a little later. At the moment we're just at the stage of checking formally that the respective councils are happy for us to have our Gap dogs with us while we're collecting. As soon as we get the go-ahead (and preliminary conversations suggest that we WILL - Manchester's city centre's a useful precedent to bandy about ;D) then we'll be looking to pick the dates that are most convenient for our lovely volunteers. If you think you'd like to join the party at one (or both ;D) of the above collections, please let me know on this thread which ones you'd like to support and any dates that you'd really like us to avoid.Thanks so much Jo x

Jo - you are spooky!!!! I've been on the St Helens and Liverpool council websites this afternoon to see how to apply for permits to do street collections in both areas. ;D ;D ;D There is an additional application form to fill in as well as the standard Liverpool form if we want to arrange a collection in Liverpool One. We are happy to help out anywhere, and were wondering whether to see if a collection would be viable for the Beatles festival at the end of August - or whether that would be too busy (and frighten scaredy-hounds!!). Will go and consult my diary - and Fran

Will go and consult my diary - and Fran Oh my, Jan - that IS spooky! ;D ;D ;D We were in Liverpool last year for the Beatles festival (wivout 'ounds ) and it was absolutely rammed solid around the stage areas, but it was 'copeable with' elsewhere I reckon. It would be brilliant if together we could snag Liverpool One into the bargain - what a WOW collection that'd be! Hopefully we'll get the go-ahead for the hounds to be with us and once we have that it can be full steam ahead. Jo x

Let me know if you need any help with organising / filling in forms, etc (though I'm a novice at all this) I was also wondering whether Southport would be worth looking into in the summer / the flower festival? That comes under Sefton council. xxx

Just in the process of sending off a formal e-application to St Helens Council to get a license for a street collection. I need to give 2 proposed dates and am thinking June may be a good month, as nothing else seems to have been arranged (yet!!!!!). I'll post another thread with a poll, to check when everyone is free
