Dog Show:
Following the success of last year’s Fun Dog Show at the Public Park and Winterfield. We would like to organise a show that ties in with the Dunbar Civic Week in June. The date we have, provisionally, is Saturday 22nd June in the morning: 11am to 1pm. I’m looking for anyone who might want to get involved in helping to organise it or assist with its running on the day. If you are interested in helping then please contact me by email. I hope to form a planning committee next month. We organised everything with only a handful of people last year and did feel a little stretched on the day. This was entirely our fault for not involving the Friends at an earlier stage.
Jobs we need filled: caterer; volunteer “Friends” to promote membership and to hand out questionnaires; helpers for registration; a dog judge; ring assistants; people to help assemble the gazebo on the day
We’re open it ideas on what we can do at the show. Last year’s theme was to promote responsible dog walking in the park.
Sporting events:
Scheduled amateur football fixtures have returned to Winterfield and Dunbar Grammar School are using the Public Park for rugby. We’ve been talking to the sports clubs that use the park and are supportive of moves towards providing changing and toilet facilities in Winterfield. We feel this can’t happen soon enough.
