The 12th Annual Bulldog Picnic

Well, what can I say? I think this was the biggest and the best bulldog picnic ever. I had such a great time and everything went so smoothly. We have no idea how many people turned up but we had 300 entry badges done and they'd gone by the end of the first hour so we guess somewhere between 400 and 500 people. If I had one complaint it would be that people turn up an hour early and then leave an hour early, it would make much more sense to turn up on time and leave on time as that way you don't miss out on the draws at the end of the day and the auction, which this year we did live from the stage inside the hall and it was brilliant fun, a big thank you to my little helper who very professionally held up each item for the audience to see.
During the course of this week, photos will go up at www.bulldogrescue.co.uk/Picnic.htm but I can tell you that the day took £2334.65 so we are looking at a good £2,000 clear profit which is just brilliant.
We did a fancy dress for the first time this year which seemed to go down really well, the winner was Max and Ella who made a fabulous bride and groom, Joanne Good the actress that judge the competition said it was really difficult to choose the best one and I certainly didn't envy her in the slightest as all the cosumes were just brilliant! Oh and the Mail Newspaper came along too and took lots of photos and did lots of interviews, the photographer had his bulldog with him so fingers crossed it comes across OK. I'll keep you posted as to when it's published.
So all that's left for me to say is THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU to everyone that came, helped and raised such a fabulous amount of money for the rescue.
