The New Forest Dog Owners Club
( who helped us raise over £2000 at our Fun Day Dog Show )
are currently trying to make everyone aware that there are plans afoot to restrict access for dogs in the New Forest:
The event is being run in the field next to The Compasses Inn,
in Chicksgrove, Nr Tisbury, Wiltshire.
Gates open at 12:30pm and the first fun dog class starts at 1pm. The day will conclude at 5pm.
As well as the dog show the day also includes two flying displays (weather permitting).
The esteemed Great War Display Team,
will be doing a recreation of a WW1 dog fight in replica planes of the
era in the skies above us.
Other attractions include a BBQ run by The
Compasses Inn, Tea & Cakes, various stalls, and a raffle.
All the money raised from class entries and fun events is going to the
Blue Cross.
