Hiya all, Okay, the time has come to book this year's second round of Pets at Home fundraisers! ;D ;D ;D Also, Ikea seems like a great idea so is anyone up for Warrington and Ashton-Under-Lyne if we can wangle collections? Any more ideas anyone? ;D I'm looking from the beginning of September onwards and right up to Christmas, so if you know any dates that you're definitely free then please let me know when (and also how often I can use and abuse your goodwill / dogs / family members etc. ). Places that are definitely worth us re-visiting if we can are: Oldham Stockport (already booked for 18th and 19th December Ashton-Under-Lyne Glossop Macclesfield Bolton Preston . . . (not been but might be worth a visit!) Manchester (Baguley) I'd also be willing to arrange any street collections that you feel may be worthwhile . . . let's get some ideas in! ;D Thanks all Jo x

the preston one is tiny and out of the way - not sure it gets any passing trade dunno if blackburn is any better street collections - southport or blackpool beach fronts would be ace. so many people. jsu had a quick nosey: southport collections: Lord Street, Between the Junctions of Nevill Street and Eastbank Street, and Chapel Street. friday and saturday only.

I know its a way in advance but northwich thundersprint would be a good one. Very very busy event every may. Its full of bikes soprobably wouldnt take a timid dog, but you could raise a fair bit there I should think.

If you're thinking PAH Bolton, the one in town is very quiet. You'd be much better at PAH Middlebrook Retail Park (Horwich) which is much busier.

I know we are not available through the whole of Sept pretty much and also not the first weekend in October. But from then onwards, there are a good few weekends that we will be able to stand outside places and freeze raise dosh ;D

Its full of bikes soprobably wouldnt take a timid dog, but you could raise a fair bit there I should think. there was a hound charity at the last one-think it may have been GRWE .. the stalls were generally well away from the bikes but still got a hooge amount of passing trade (it was rammed!) in the town centre and my two are used to bikes too I have emailed them about the possibility of us having a stall!

Me, me, me, me....... just organise me and tell me where you want me to go (not literally) I'll be there with the Hounds of Hell (and maybe the OH to hold a hound if I grovel enough). ;D ;D ;D

Go for it - that sounds great! ;D ;D ;D Fingers crossed! Jo x

I've only got the Gap Show booked in so far, so should be available for something Ashton Ikea sounds good, but I may have to get some overtime in beforehand to compensate for the shopping that could happen ;D Moira x
