The Christmas Party was fantastic!
It was a very early start on Sunday to be prepared, up just before 5am and we kicked off with visitors at 9am so little Jack could head off to his new home with Amanda and family. Volunteers arrived and everyone was soon bustling about.

Em arrived with a car laidened with food and she set herself up in the marquee. Em outdid herself once more with all the tasty goodies on offer at the House of Badger refreshments. Amazing and wonderful lady. Em was very ably assisted by AlisonT behind the tables, as always they were a finely oiled team of foodie expertise. A big thank you to everyone who also contributed to the table too.

Midday and folks started to arrive and soon the yard was HEAVING with people and dogs. There was a very exciting moment when Santa Paws and their sleigh arrived in the yard, escorted by Rudolf and a couple of suspect looking Penguins. Photographic evidence of the arrival via Sharon, Kiki's mum.

Andy led the walk for us, and people hopefully found all the flashing light Santa's hidden in the bushes. Bernie arrived bringing a new arrival with her. The lovely Benji who soon made himself at home. After the walk it was back to the yard for much eating, drinking and merry making, followed by the dog show which was great fun.   Certain dogs couldn’t quite contain their excitement at the Doggy Lucky Dip / Hay Dive – Stitch & Blake!!!


Rob & Sarah were taking photos for folks and watching Andy and co trying to get everyone face the same way was very amusing! If anyone spots their dog and would like a copy, they are available for £3 each, with proceeds coming to Wiccs.
Email Rob or Sarah to order.

Some previous adopters joined us last minute for the walk, coming all the way from Bristol, with the intention of finding another doggy as company for their Wiccs dog Indy and our lovely Gavin has found himself a new home in time for Christmas.

The entries from the walk were entered into a Grand Draw, and Vivien, Bryn and Ricky won the star prize, a lovely break away at a cottage in Devon.. The raffle was called and some hours later (!) all the prizes were taken - our raffles are legendary!! The raffle was absolutely amazing and the prizes were spectacular.

All too soon the light was fading and folks starting heading off home.
We hope everyone had a brilliant time, we certainly did. It was great to see so many happy dogs and people.

So a MASSIVE thank you to everyone who helped out and came to spend time with us. It was a wonderful day and we throughly enjoyed it. See you all in the New Year for the next one!
