Calling all Piggy Bank members!

[Guinea Pig Magazine]

Hi everyone, this is a call out to all Piggy Bank members-Guinea Pig Magazine is working on a future article telling the World about the UK Piggy Bank!
We would love to hear from any/all of you that would like to tell us a bit about the part YOU play in making the Piggy Bank so successful!
Please contact [email protected]
If anyone wishes to remain anonymous in the publication that is not a problem and you can indicate your wishes when you contact me. We look forward to hearing from you all!
Many thanks and best wishes, Alison

Hello again everyone - to all those who have queried, the right of anonymity is there for the protection of your personal details. In the past some people have asked for names to be withheld on letters for example, we had one person who wrote an article for us and we changed her name for the article, because at the age of 38 - her parents did not know she still had guinea pigs!
With the Piggy bank, we appreciate that this is quite a sensitive subject given what you do! The anonymity is there for your protection from abuse, and reassurance of this. We are not looking to publish any of your personal details.

We would like to an Introduction about the PB; Why it was set-up, How it was set-up, How it's organised etc. Then what 'happens' ie; how do you get the 'call' and how is such a complicated procedure organised so quickly. I then would like to ask PB members a few questions along the lines of:
1. How long have you been part of the Piggy Bank?
2. How many piggy runs have you done, and what do you think the total mileage is you’ve covered?
3. What is the most amount of piggies you have transported at one time, and what is the least?
4. Have you ever got attached to the piggies you are transporting/temporarily looked after, and thought of re-homing them yourself?
4. What do you get out of it personally?
5. Have you had any particular harrowing or fulfilling experience you would like to tell readers about?
I then want to finish on how readers who would like to get involved or get more information would do so.

Please also bear in mind that at GPM we are too part of the PB and have had rescuees here! Incidentally - yes we did think about keeping them-if only for a second. But we now have two very lovely rescued boys (Thank you Sue from Cavy Corner)who we will be introducing to the readers shortly...
Thank you and best wishes all, Alison
