IMPORTANT NOTICE FOR ALL P.A.W.S. MEMBERS, SPONSORS AND SUPPORTERS

As many of you know, we have been holding our annual Fun Dog Show & Fete at Salt Lake Green, Porthcawl for over ten years; sadly, this is about to change. Again, as you are probably aware, this land has for some years been marked as a Regeneration Site, the difference this year being that new Local Council Policy prohibits us (or anyone else) using the land - even for charitable purposes. As such, we are having to cancel this year's show as the logistics of moving the show, informing our sponsors and stallholders and coordinating appropriate dates have proved too much at such short notice. We would like to apologise to those who have made plans for the cancelled date and assure them that, as with so many policy decisions, the outcome was entirely out of our hands.

On a brighter note, plans are already in progress to move the event to the grounds of The Rest at Rest Bay, Porthcawl. If all goes to plan, the show will take place around school half term in May 2011 and, as usual, anyone wishing to take part - whether it be by having a stall, entering a pet in competition, helping to sponsor the event or simply helping out on the day - should ring Liz on 01656 786487.

This may seem a long way off, but please come on board and support us - with your help and our determination and commitment, we can make this show an event to remember..!
