Friday 24th, Saturday 25th and Sunday 26th July www.gamefair.co.ukWe are very lucky to have secured a stand here for the above dates.This is probably our best opportunity so far to raise Greyhound awareness,home some dogs, promote the RGT and to raise some money.It will be attended by people from all over the U.K. Jill and Tracy will be attending and manning the trailer on all three days, hopefully along with some Rescues.Myself and Dave have committed to the Sunday,but more help is needed.This event is taking a lot of hard work and arranging primarily by Jill and Tracy ( Leics Lass).We would very much appreciate people to help man the trailer, Meet and Greet, sell Merchandise and keep an inventory.We have lots of fantastic goods on order so get saving the pennies.Jill and Tracy would certainly appreciate some time away from the Trailer as the days are very long, and they would like the opportunity to have a break and a wander round at this lovely venue.If people willing to help could post A.S.A.P. the day and a rough idea of times, i.e. morning or afternoon it would be a great help.PLEASE NOTE people planning to come for the day or a morning stint would ideally need to be at the Trailer by 8.30. a.m. to help set up. Thank You.

Would love to offer to help for a day (need to check my diary as to which day, so will come back to you on this).
Can we bring dogs (I'm thinking Morty and maybe Izzy - depends on whether there are any bangs!), or is this too much with helping on the stall etc?
I'd better start saving my pennies now! ;D

Yes of course you can bring the dogs sarah...there will be bangs from things like clay pigeon shooting but i don't know how close we will be to these.

I'd love to do a session any of the days providing we are not on holiday. I'm sure Sophia will come and help as well as she likes being out and about. Looking forward to an excellent day selling and educating!!!

We can help out on the friday or saturday with the boys.
Just a quick thing, if we are helping out on the stall do we still have to pay entrance fees? Because it is going to cost us almost £50 to get in on friday otherwise!

We have a limited number of free tickets and they will be allocated fairly.
We can also get tickets at a reduced price but these have got to be paid for by you in advance and ordered by 3rd July,there will be no refunds.[/b] The reduced prices are... Adult £14:00 (per day) Junior £4:00 (9-18 years) Child (0-8 years) free of charge
Free ticket allocation For example...If there are 2 of you coming on the friday you will be given 1 free ticket and then you will have to purchase the other persons ticket at the reduced price.
We need to know definate numbers of who can help and on what days a.s.a.p because the 3rd of july is only 3 weeks away.

All volunteers attending can use the exhibitors car park instead of having to queue etc to get in the main visitor car parks.

Come on peeps ;D This is a great opportunity to help out, have a great time with like minded people AND get into the Game Fair at a very reasonable price! You won't be expected to stand on the stall all day, so there will be plenty of opportunities to wonder around, spend some money and generally have a good time. This event is brilliant and there is so much to see and do - have a look at the website ( www.gamefair.co.uk. ) PLUS you'll be helping Leicester RGT by helping to man the stand, ogle the dogs etc. Please help us..... Like our dogs, we don't bite! It would be great to chat to some people we've never met, or only meet on dog walks. Please let Tracy (Leics Lass) know asap if you can commit to a day (or even half a day if thats all you can manage), so she can order reduced price tickets if necessary and also so she knows who is helping on which day.

Unfortunately I’ll be away that weekend but happy to do whatever I can to help short of actually being there. Let me know if there’s anything you need and that I can do Trace. Gill mentioned something about updating the photo slide show thing I did for the digital picture frame currently in the reception area at the kennels and also making some posters but she was a bit vague so I'm not quite sure what I'm supposed to be doing

Thanks alison,i know she said about the photo frame but i've got no idea about the posters lol
I was wondering about having some photos of wl dogs printed off and laminated so that we can put them up on the trailer doors ?

Hi Tracey,
I think that's a fantastic idea! If no one has access to a laminator I was eyeing one at Asda for £10 that comes with some pouches. It might be a good little investment for WL for the future?
We would love to do the Fair on the Friday as I expect it's easier for most others to come at the weekend. It's (literally) just up the road from us so as early as you want us!!! The boys are also booked for PBB on the Saturday at WL so Friday works best.
I have all the items I mentioned from VistaPrint. I will try and get pact WL tomorrow to drop them off but, to remind you, there are 500 business cards, 100 fridge magnets, a magnetic car door sign and other goodies. I hope they will be really useful. Tegan also has her t shirt.
Hoepfully see you tomorrow? If there's anything else I can bring for the Fair (tablecloth...check... cake/biscuits... check.... ) then let me know!!
Hugs and woofs to Jess and Lester.
