Sorry no pics, still novices at managing four dogs and pic, food or drinks.We had a lovely day, thanks to Alison for organizing the venue what a lovely place Grimstone is , not at all Grim. ;D ;D ;D I could easily live somewhere like that.But......where was Tim?? It was nice to catch up with people and meet new ones.Our dogs had a fantastic time running round the enclosed part of the field , so much so they were pooped and ASBO Tia refused to get up , hence we missed the morning walk, and we were pooped by the afternoon one ;D ;D Will definately take them for a walk that way so beware Alison.It was really nice to see Dilly running with Flynn , a first she's never ran with the others before.Tia was norty all day , ate my sandwiches and pinched the paper the muffins were in from the rubbish bag and ate it. ;D ;D They looked great I thought they were for humans and nearly ate one.Thanks Karen and Martin you didn't stop all day, running the raffle and Hound sitting.Also Tracy, the rosettes are gorgeous , loved the Best in show and RGT dog of the year ones too.Note to self one of my dogs must snaffle one of those next year by fair means or foul. ;D ;D ;D Congrats to Tiny, Claire and Alistair on Tiny's win and Sam for reserve , they have both come so far, Jill did an excellent job as Judge.

Fab day and a great way to spend Lucy's birthday; thanks to everyone who sorted it and congrats to all the winners. A few pics (more to come), but I need some food: Matt Relaxing with Kylie and the fabulous HoochWe fostered Hooch with Lucy and I still rib Matt about the fact that when I told him and Sandra greyhounds were addictive he was adamant that one was all they would have (3 and counting ;D) Lucy of course stayed Birthday Girl - LucyBirthday Boy - RogerAlison & Sol

Lovely pics everyone, as usual I took my camera but never quite seemed to get round to taking it out of the bag, partic impressed by lucy's pic chris, having seen your very unique point and press style! Really enjoyed today, couldn't have been a better venue or weather-wise really, huge thanks to all those who organised it, Alison, Trace, Sarah, and Karen and Martin who finally sat down to their sarnies at about 3! Really chuffed that dizzy and Harry have won their first ever rosettes (particularly impressive ones thanks to tracy!) and were mostly well behaved, apart from the cake stealing . Really hope some of our newer members enjoyed it too, and I for one am glad that recklessgj came along as he managed to help me out of the tombstone position I found myself in after poleaxing myself on the morning walk thank god Alison elsewhere with her camera at the time . All in all felt very proud to be involved with WL today, espec when we managed to raise nearly £200 for the dogs. And final rosette goes to the whole crew for wearing Harry out (neither of my two have moved a muscle since we got back) which is a rare and much appreciated occasion ;D Just one request for any future events, please can we ban Lucky Linda from the raffle ;D hope to see some of you at Hathern next week, Jen, diz and Harry x

Thank you to all involved in making yesterday and the online dog show work so well, it was a fantastic day and it was great to be able to put faces to names and meet everyone and there gorgeous dogs. As newcomers, everyone made us feel so welcome and I am sure that we will be attending many more of the events - that is if we are invited back after my daughter made more of mess than any of the dogs and then insisted on running into the ring to try and steal the rosettes Oh and a big thank you to anyone who voted for Jasper in fondly remembered, it was lovely to know that even though he is not here in body he is here in spirit. And finally - in agreement about the venue and having it as an annual get together
