News from Cheshire and the North West

      Happy Springtime everyone

      We are pleased to have been invited to write an update for the Newsletter
      during these very sad times.

      We were delighted to be able to meet up with many of you and your dogs
      during the social dog walks and Cleveleys street collection that we were able
      to organise during the late summer and autumn months of last year.

      Two of the walks were held at our regular venue of Marbury Country Park near
      Northwich, in Cheshire in August and November and another very successful
      evening walk took place in September at a new meeting place for us, Styal
      Country Park also in Cheshire.

      We have been fortunate over the years in being able to have the support of
      Wyre Council in helping us to organise our fundraisers in Cleveleys.

      They have agreed that we can organise a Street Collection at our usual meeting
      place on the promenade end of the main street in Cleveleys, outside Boots,
      between 10am and 4pm on SATURDAY 21ST MAY 2022. The seaside resort is
      situated between Blackpool and Fleetwood on the Fylde coast.

      We had a successful winter collection in
                              th
      Cleveleys on December 18 , just before
      Christmas last year, and we are considering
      another winter event for December this year.
      Watch this space for more information.

      Phil and I are hoping that our elderly
      greyhound Trish, who will reach the grand age
                       of thirteen at the end of
                       August, will be able to join
                       us again on holiday in
                       Cornwall this summer. We
                       enjoyed a lovely holiday in
                       Crantock last June and
                       July, where we met up with
                       several of the friends who
                       we have homed greyhounds and galgos
                       with over the years. We hope to be able
                       to meet up again with some of them this
                       year.

                       Trish loves pottering in the garden of the
                       cottage where we stay as well as playing
                       on the beach. She seems to get a new
                       lease of life when she feels the sand
           Fred        between her toes.                        Trish and Stella
