This is our 20th Anniversary Fun Dog Show!!!

Saturday 14th September 2024 in Daisy Meadow, Heybridge Basin

We are delighted to announce that this year’s chosen charity is Clark’s Farm Greyhound Rehoming Centre, near Maldon https://www.clarksfarmgreyhounds.org.uk/

The emphasis of our dog show is FUN and primarily for the Residents of Heybridge Basin, Friends and Families.

Registration starts at noon, with the first Class at 1pm sharp. There will be homemade refreshments, homemade doggy treats and ice cream for sale.

Since our first show in 2004 we have raised over £13,300 for local charities including Maldon Wildlife Rescue, The Cinnamon Trust, Guide Dogs for the Blind, Row4aReason and Clarks Farm Greyhound Rehoming Centre. This is all thanks to our fabulous supporters and our wonderful helpers. THANK YOU.

As last year, we are inviting local businesses and friends to sponsor a class for £20 to help raise more funds for the Charity. We still have a few classes available for sponsorship, so do let us know if you would like to be a sponsor.

Every penny goes to our chosen charity!

Some of you may have been wondering what has happened to our fun dog show this year and it probably won’t come as a surprise to realise that due to the current madness in the world caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, this year’s show has very sadly had to be cancelled.

We’re extremely disappointed to not go ahead, but it just wouldn’t have been practicable or safe for all those concerned in the running of it and for those to attend. It would also have been irresponsible of us to expect everyone, in whatever capacity, to support us at this time.

It is our intention, conditions being favourable and safe, to hold the show next September 2021. We shall keep you updated in good time throughout the coming months and hopefully see you then!

In the meantime, stay safe and fingers crossed that the madness subsides and we can resume a life which somehow reflects what we have enjoyed previously!

September 14th is the date of our fun dog show, so make a date in your diary! This will be our 16th Year!!

It will be held in the usual place, Daisy Meadow, Heybridge Basin with registration at 12 noon and first class starting promptly at 1.00 pm. Lots of fun to be had along with refreshments including home made cakes and biscuits and home made doggy treats.

Free entry to show with £1.50 entry per class for each dog. We are pleased to announce that one of our chosen charities to benefit from the show is the Cinnamon Trust. This is a national charity, which also operates locally, for elderly people (aged 60 and over), the terminally ill and their pets. Their primary aim is to help keep people and their pets together. This can include dog walking and pet care and short term fostering. They also provide long term care for pets whose owners have died or moved into residential accommodation which will not accept pets. Please look at their website for more details, cinnamon.org.uk.
