Midlands forum meet up - Potteries GPR Xmas Fair 17th November 2018

[Mother Hubbard]

You guys are amazing, was great to see everyone even for a short while and I did manage to snaffle a few naughty treats, and Wiebke managed to get her transport back home too.

 

[Merab]

Looks like you had a great time.
Glad it all went so well.

Well, guys, the amazing news is that the rescue raised £700 today between the tombola, the gift stall and @Wiebke ’s awesome biscuit collection. That is just awesome.

 

[Flutterby]

Fantastic news!

Here are a few pics from today

I am TOTALLY knackered now, but I have pretty much sold out and have made an amazing £233 on behalf of @The Potteries Guinea Pig Rescue , @furryfriends (TEAS), i.e. The Excellent Adventure Sanctuary for guinea pigs with special needs and @Merrypigs Sanctuary with my biscuit stall today! Thanks to all the forum members who have bought so enthusiastically!

Big thanks to @Qualcast&Flymo for getting up VERY early to transport me with LOTS of biscuit boxes plus two rescue boars in transit up to Kidsgrove. Without her and her extra large box for all the bitty biscuit lots I would not have been able to bring as many biscuits.

Thanks also to @Mother Hubbard to drive me to Stoke-on-Trent station to allow me to catch a direct train back to Coventry and sincere apologies to everybody standing in the train corridor with me trying to somehow manoeuvre through with a trolley, a piggy carrier and a huge shopping bag, all filled to the top with tins in order to disembark.

It sounds like you and your biscuits were a huge success, as always! Thank you for all that you do for us x

No problem, glad it was so worthwhile
I expect the train wouldn't have been so crowded if they hadn't cancelled the earlier one ...
Hope next weekend at TEAS is similarly successful, unfortunately I can't be there as kitchen duties most of Saturday at my church craft fair means that Sunday is required for domestic duties

 

[David Piggie Lover]

Sorry missed the Fair. Well done raising so much guys.

 

[HeatherW]

Gutted I couldn't be there! It looks like it was amazing!

 

[The Potteries Guinea Pig Rescue]

Thank you to everyone who came to our event !
I had such a whirlwind of a day I really don’t remember much !!
I’m sorry if I didn’t get time to speak to everyone but from the bottom of my heart thank you dear forum members I’m so glad we are part of this fantastic resource.
It’s a lot of work organising a big event but we do reap the rewards of winter funds !!
