Stockton Summer Show 26/27th Aug

[twiggyandsarah]

Calling North East peeps again!

I'm hoping we can attend this event:
www.stockton.gov.uk/events/stocktonsummershow

It's always busy, regardless of the weather, and with a 'fun dog show' being amongst the activities is bound to attract a fair few dog lovers.

What we will need is:
- enough people and hounds to cover both days, 11am-5pm
- volunteers to bake human and dog treats to sell
- donations of items for a tombola

I have a little gazebo (somewhere in the loft!) we could put up for shade (or shelter!), and I will cover both days, but am likely to be houndless.

There is a pitching fee for this event so if I'm going to book it I need to know that there will be enough support to ensure we make a profit. I'm happy to stand there on my own for the full time on both days, but I don't think just me on my tod will be enough to attract folks over and part them with their cash! ;D

We will get a discount on the fee if we book by 1st May - which is this coming Tuesday - so if possible could you let me know over the weekend if you think you can help out in any way. If you can't attend the show but would be willing to bake or collect tombola prizes that would be good to know also.

Thanks!

Jon and I will be there both days.

I'll see if I can borrow a gazebo from my Mum- we'd still need tables

I can make stock for dog stuff to sell.

I've pm'd you as well

PS We can bring rent-a-hound as well for you ;D ;D ;D ;D

Thanks Michelle and Cath (and Jon!). And of course where would we be without rent-a-hound! ;D

Mark (OH) will be moved up here by then so he will help too (especially now he knows he won't be the only bloke! ;D ). My mum will also bring her own brand of crazy to proceedings, and my cousin will bake cupcakes for us. I'll come up with some other human goods too.

Looks like there's sufficient commitment here to go ahead with it. I think it'll be great!
