We've been offered the opportunity to host a oollar stall for Gap at the locsl East Midlands Dog Rescue Dog Show at Burbage Common Leicestershire. on 21st September
Unfortunately I will be in Cornwall so unable to do his one, but if anyone is interested and wants to run with this, please pm me as soon as possible,and I'll put you in ouch.
This rescue rehomes a lot of retired racing greyhounds, including my Sonia and Daley, and also rescues and rehomes other breeds particularly from puppy farms.
Thanks
Tina

I could do this as it's not a million miles away so would be an easy one, HOWEVER If this is to be specifically a Collar Stall then we are going to need a fairly big stock of collars to make it worthwhile, and of course there is no guarantee how many are going to sell. This is scheduled for one week before the Gap Show, when I am sure there will be a healthy demand for collars. Begs the questions, a) can we get our hands on enough collars to make it a proper Collar Stall? b) Will Lisa be happy for Gap collar stock to be elsewhere the week before the show?

Will the unsold collars make it back in time for the gap show?

Whoa there just a minute Tina, I said I "could" do it, given that I can get hold of enough stock, and that everyone is happy for me to have the stock so close to the Gap Show, so not a done deal just yet.

Jackie, I'd be happy to do this with you I can also make some collars for it. I don't know if I'll have enough for a whole stall but I'll do my best to make as many as possible. I'm really keen to get sewing again now George is sleeping a little better (although he still doesn't go to sleep early enough in the evenings for my liking!).

Hi Helen, that would be fab, thank you so much for the offer. Sam is trying to find out for me if there would be other stock available, so once I know if it will be worthwhile I will be in contact. I would like to do this as it's a very local rescue, and Sandy does rehome quite a number of hounds, just if it is feasible.

Sorry Jackie, I didn't intend to assume. I will be away in Cornwall so unfortunately I can't help with it, but as you said Sandy rehomes a lot of dogs locally, including many greyhounds, including my own Sonia and Daley.
It's lovely of Tracey who's organising this to invite Gap to host a stall at the event to raise some funds, and if you're able to do it, that would be brilliant

Sorry if I sounded abrupt Tina, but I'm working on getting this up and running, so fingers crossed Gap will have a presence on the day. Just need to ensure it will be worthwhile which depends on getting hold of enough collars. Once I have more info I will get in touch with Tracey Ison to sort out the details.

Jackie, I've got a stall in Cornwall on 3rd August for which I am hoping to get collar stock sent down, it's not here yet but should be in the next couple of weeks. I don't know how much I'll have nor how popular the collars will prove to be at the event. But... any left over stock I can send straight onto you.

That would be fab Ali, and if Helen is able to make up a few then I think maybe we should be able to do something. I'll talk to Tracey Ison and suss out what else we can take along on the day to possibly boost sales a little. Thanks for all your help.

Jackie, you.... abrupt?? I felt a little guilty for roping you into yet another stall at which I'm unable to help....I owe you big time!! I know this is the first time Tracey has organise an event like this, so any support we can give by running a collar, charms, and tassels stall would really help to add interest. As Sandy at EMDR rehomes a fair number of sighthounds, the more of the adopters we can interest in our fab collars, charms and greyhound paraphernalia , the better!!
