| As our financial year ends on August 31st, our year starts in September. Our first event for this year took place in September in Glasgow at "D in the Park". This event organised by Glasgow Community and Safety Services in partnership with Clean Glasgow was a pilot project, with a view of rolling it out city wide! |  |
| As well as our usual annual events such as the Glasgow Vet School Rodeo, Bark in the Park and the various Gala Days that we attend, this year we were invitied to take part in the two day Turriff Agricultural Show. Other new events this year included a static dispaly at Pets at Home and a display at the Fife Transport Museums fun day, | _JPG.jpg) |
| Suzannah Sorrell, of Big Dog Consultancy, took part in a World Record attempt to set the fastest 100 metre dog sled on sand. Details of the attempt can be found here. In doing so she raised over £1000 for Sled Dog Welfare!! |  (Custom).jpg) |
| Layla McInnes was very brave and abseiled down the side of a chimney raising funds for Chest, Heart and Stroke Scotland and for Sled Dog Welfare. Well done Layla!! |  |
In our first year as a registered charity, we have attended various events - The GUVMA Rodeo in Glasgow, Bearsden Highland Games, various Gala Day's in Fife and West Lothian,, Airdrie Fun Day, Fife Gala's, Hearing Dogs for the Deaf at Bannockburn, and Almond Valley Heritage Centre, Livingston. Some of the events we were due to attend were cancelled due to the weather, lets hope we get better next year!!
We met lots of people, and hopefully they enjoyed meeting the dogs, watching the displays when they were included and gained some valuable information about the various sled dog breeds.
We also organised our first ever event in the form of a sponsored walk up Ben Lomond. Although the weather was not great, (this is Scotland after all...) we had a modest turnout and raised money for the charity. Big Thanks to those who braved the rain!! |
