First Dog Show a success!

Ami — Sun, 11 Dec 2011 22:25:04 +0000

On 24^th September, a Companion Dog Show was held to raise funds for Clwyd Special Riding Centre. We ran two rings: one for pedigree classes and one for novelty classes. The novelty classes included classes called ‘dog with the waggiest tail’ and ‘children’s handling’. The pedigree classes were judged by Mr Steve Jones who is a Kennel Club judge and the fun classes by one of our regular vets, Mr Bryan Hallows.

It was a fun family day with side stalls which included micro chipping and veterinary dog health checks; cakes and drinks were provided by the W.I., centre trustees and volunteers.

There was a demonstration to music during the day by Maggie Jarman who has previously performed at Crufts.

The event raised £1268 for the centre’s funds. Huge thanks to everyone who made the day the success it was.

Aladdin has recently retired from RDA work and is now living with one of our lovely volunteers in Malpas. We will get regular updates on him and are sure that he will be very much loved and spoiled in his new home.

Fundraising Standards Board newest member

Clwyd Special Riding Centre is now a member of the Fundraising Standards Board (FRSB).

These are especially challenging times for fundraisers but the FRSB ‘give with confidence’ logo is becoming the sign of reassurance for the giving public.

Congratulations Diane Porter!

Congratulations to our valued part-time finance assistant, Diane Porter, who was recently nominated for the Wales Volunteer of the Year Award 2011 by the Wales Council for Voluntary Action (WCVA) for her volunteering role that she carries out here at CSRC within the Wrexham RDA Group. We are very proud that Diane finds the time in her busy life to instruct, run holidays, fundraise and keep our finances in order!

Milo will be very much missed

Ami — Sun, 11 Dec 2011 22:21:54 +0000

We are very sad to report that Milo was put to sleep in May following a very bad bout of colic. He will be very much missed by all staff, riders and volunteers.

The Trustees and staff here at the Centre would like to express our sadness, but remember the great joy he brought to all of us and to thank those of you that contributed to his happy time here.
