The Friendly Dog Club needs your help now.

Out of the blue New Milton Town Council have decided that they will,
with no consultation or discussion, not be renewing our Lease for the
Dog House on Long Meadow when it expires at the end of Jan 2012. This
is on the grounds that the Dog House is and eyesore. We have been
for 10 1/2 years and have maintained every aspect of the
building so that it looks better now than it did then. So why!??

There is a meeting of the Finance & General Purposes Committee on
Tuesday 19th July at the Town Hall at 7.30 at which we have 3 mins to
state our case.

So we need your active support now by signing our online petition at
www.friendlydogs.com and writing a letter of support and
recommendation (sample letter attached) either directly to Graham
Flexman, Town Clerk, NM Town
Council, The Town Hall, 2 Ashley Road, New Milton, Hants, BH25 6AS, or
sending it to me Angela Horsley 42 Montagu Road, Highcliffe, BH23 5JX
to take to the meeting. We suggest if you post the letter you get
proof of postage.

It is important to convey to the Council that we are part of the
community, providing education, training and working with other local
charitable groups for the good of the community.

If this is allowed to go ahead it will be the end of the Friendly Dog
Club and the unique service that we provide within Dorset & Hampshire.
The help and advise we give to dog owners and the charitable events
that we run for Rest Homes, Churches, Lions & Rotary will all be lost
forever.

We need your immediate active support to save our Club.

Thank you
