GUVMA Rodeo - Saturday 28 April 2007
Permalink Closed

Hi Folks

It now the start of the busy time of year when the warmer weather is happening and we have the first of the outdoor events to attend. And here we are attending the wonderful GUVMA Rodeo on the 28th April, Garscube Estate, Glasgow, from 10am - 5pm.

Now for the really important bit.....the Rodeo is a very important opportunity for GAL to raise awareness of the homeless hounds in its care so it is vital that we get as many of them there as possible. If you can bring a dog from Eddie and Rachel's kennels at Langbank for the day, please email Linda@gal.org.uk to make arrangements.

It would be great to see as many folk there as possible.

If you want to support GAL, this is one of, if not the best way of doing it on the day.

Directions can be found on the GUVMA  website: Directions

Looking forward to seeing you there.

We'll be there! It's a great day out for everyone - and I can hardly believe it's a year since we brought Dixie home from last year's Rodeo! Ill be available to walk any of the homeless hounds.

The Rodeo has a website Fiona with directions and a list of all the attractions (ooohh I wish I could go cry) I just put GUVMA Rodeo into Google and got it but I'm sure one of the more clever people on here can attach a link.wink

Have a fab day.

Maryhill Road, Bearsden Glasgow

Should have added that Maryhill Road is a long road, and I think the West of Scotland Science Park entrance is around 1217 Maryhill Road and this is the way in to park.

Hope this helps you.

DSC00220.jpgHi

I took a few photos yesterday when things were quiet in the shop.
It was a lovely day and so nice to see so many dogs there - great publicity for GAL. Fingers crossed we find homes for some of them now.
Thanks to everyone who bought from the shop and helped out.

I just wanted to thank everyone who came to the Rodeo to help out! We had 9 homeless dogs from Rachels, one foster dog (Jenny) and 2 from Alice (trainer) for the homeless parade! What a day for hounds! I have already received a few emails from interested folk to volunteer/transport and hopefully we will see a if a few dogs get homed!

Big thanks goes to Alexis, Lorna, Lesley, Caroline, Joyce, Denise, Jenny, Kathleen, Naomi, David, Charles, Robert & Catherine, Steve, Debbie, Iluska & Andy for helping with the dogs and stall. It was also nice to see a few others that came by to see what was for sale and lend some support.

Hope everyone enjoyed their day. I did but was quite tired by the time I got home! I think the dogs definitely enjoyed the day too!

So hope to see everyone again at an event soon!

Linda

You missed me out! But then, I suppose I did spend most of the day talking and buying up half the stall!

Sorry Fiona - I didn't mean to leave your name off - especially since I did spend time chatting with you!

Thanks for your help - considering you did have to take the day as a holiday!!
