It's that time of year again when Cavy Corner will be holding our 2nd ever Guinea Pig "Pignic". Last years was such a great success and this year will be even better.
There will be plenty of competitions, fun and games plus plenty of beautiful piggies and friendly piggie lovers to meet and chat with.

The details are Sunday 18 September
Cusworth Country Hall
Cusworth
Doncaster
DN5 7TU

Between 12 - 5pm

This is a free event but we will be fundraising for the rescued guineas who live at Cavy Corner on the day with a raffle, tombola, cakes and other yummy goodies, plus a host of guinea "stuff" for sale, and a mini auction where you can bid for something fab for you or your guinea.
Bring your pignic.
Guineas are welcome including toy ones. Bring along your own run, pen or cage top please.
Guineas must be comfortable, safe and have access to food and water.

Meet some of the gorgeous Cavy Corner residents and the volunteers.

Normal parking charges apply at the park (but you can park for the whole day for just £4.)

The beautiful historic hall is well worth a visit too (for those non guinea lovers who might just want to tag along)
Toilets and Tea room on site.

Some of the competitions include:
"Holiday Hideaway" - The best decorated run, cage or carrier or run.

Pignic Platter - a paper plate ( or similar) filled with your idea of a guinea pigs perfect picnic feast. (After judging these will be sampled by the resident Cavy Corner Guineas)

Furthest Travelled Visitor to the event

Piggie Portrait... Bring along a copy of your own favourite piggie photograph to enter this one

There will be more details coming soon on www.cavycorner.org
Everyone is welcome. Hope to see you there.


Cavy Corner is a Guinea Sanctuary in Doncaster and is run on a voluntary basis.
 
We'll be taking jam and marmalade from "Sue's Kitchen" along to sell for Cavy Corner. And I'm so looking forward to meeting "old" friends and putting faces to names with everyone else. It was a great event last year (despite the weather) so hope everyone will be able to go.
 
If anyone would like a lift who lives East Yorkshire, North/North East Lincs area or anywhere M62/M18 I am more than happy to pick them up...I'll even buy a new air freshener to try and kerb the doggy smell :))
 
I think we should follow Sue's idea from last year and all wear big name tags please. And you must buy some of Sue's jam. It was seriously wonderful!

Does anybody know if Dave will be there? I have some donation stuff for him and it would save me postage!

It was great fun last year - if you're wavering about going then just go!
 
I'll see if I can find out about Dave and let you know. Funnily enough, I found our name tags just the other day.

Thanks for your kind words about the jam - I promise this time I won't try and pignap anyone, although at least this time you will know who I am! I truly didn't mean any harm. :red
 
Carmina loved you and your superior cuddles, she didn't want to leave you at all! If I am able I will bring my big chunky whiteness Carmilla (in the avatar picture) - she is one big cuddly piggy - to test out your lap!
 
Sue, I've had a quite word with Stephen and he's promised to hide away your 'coat of many pockets'.
 
This sounds absolutely fantastic and Peanut and I would love to come.

However we can't make it this time as we are out all day on the 17th and we cannot afford for the car to go too far on the Sunday as well :(

How often are these kind of events held?

The Pignic last year was the first, about this time of year, so it looks like being an annual event. I believe there MAY be a Fun Day sometime too (last year that was held in November).

Maybe next time?
 
Well, I've bought some red sandally-shoes to match my red Cavy Corner t-shirt, so please hope it's not a wet day!
 
I am very much looking forward to meeting more piggy people (as well as Mr Sue G)!

MIL is out of hospital again, so fingers firmly crossed that we won't have to cancel at last minute. I will have to get some of Sue's jam to soften up hub for throwing him out of bed so early in the morning in order to drive me to the pick up point! ;)
 
Dindy and Cupcake have had a bath tonight so that they will hopefuly still be clean for Sunday, they were due, really due.
 
I haven't dared tell Caron yet that she is going to have one, too... :x
 
I'm hoping still to come but after what happened to Dilys on Saturday I'm worried about leaving Basil on his own at the minute as he needs company and comfort and OH is out busy on Sunday.

I'll see if my parents can come over for a couple of hours to be with him and let you know later this week. x
