If you go to the Potteries Guinea Pig Rescue website there is a donation button.
It allows PayPal so you can donate from the USA.
That’s so kind and generous of you.
I’m sure Helen will be very moved.

 

[Posyrose]

If I'm not in too much pain, I shall be there! I'm really looking forward to meeting up with everyone again.

Could you put your website here where I can send donation or pay for hay and pellets? I couldn't find your website.

Well, coming after me is a bit risky, but I should have left some

Thanks all for the goodies, my piggies and hubby will be very happy!

It was so nice catching up with all of you and hopefully next year Davide and I will be able to attend together

 

[Posyrose]

I'm sorry, I'm really not well enough to do the drive today. I hope everyone has a great time and you raise lots of money for the rescues

Sorry to hear that, hope you're feeling better soon!

Sorry for sneaking off without saying goodbye to anyone I could feel myself getting a little overwhelmed and needed to leave. Thanks for a lovely event as always

A wonderful day at the Potteries Christmas Fair.
So lovely to see some old friends again.
A few pictures from the event.

The local MP came to open the fair.


The police attended with a dog to ensure good behaviour .

Wiebke’s goodies



Lots of lovely stuff to tempt humans and animals

Vicki, Helen & Santa

It was lovely to see you both

No need to apologise. Just lovely to see you today x

 

[VickiA]

Such a lovely day today seeing our lovely forum members and raising much needed funds. Thank you to @Wiebke for the lovely biscuits that raised so much money. It’s really appreciated and I’m going to enjoy my goodies for some time to come!

Wiebke told me her piggies wouldn't demand food the moment she got in, because it's not their mealtime. Don't tell Miss Bramble, but i think Vicki's piggies need tummy-training.

 

[Qualcast&Flymo]

I adopted a new piggy today, and he is very well trained. He doesn't wheek for food at all hours, poop on me when I'm holding him, nip or acquire hay pokes.
I don't know anything about where he came from though.
I'm trying to decide on a name; any ideas? Here's a photo in case it helps

He’s so cute - he sounds the best piggy ever …how about Sid

 

[Roselina]

I’m glad everyone had a great time - I’ll give a little donation as I couldn’t be there

I think he's a sow called Purl!

Perhaps Hayter

I don't think the name of our current mower would suit though - "Simplicity"

You definitely staged a proper train hold up and biscuit robbery as soon as the fair got going, @MartiDavi !

I sincerely hope that some bedraggled crumbs have made it back to Davide. I barely managed to protect the last surviving gingerbread guinea pig for myself and had to throw myself bodily over the second Christmas shortbread tin to narrowly avoid a divorce from hub. You wouldn't believe @VickiA 's greedy stares. No revolver needed.

I cannot thank @Qualcast&Flymo enough for her kind transport services in getting me and several big bags full of heavy cake tins and jigsaws from Coventry to Kidsgrove again.

Big thanks to @The Potteries Guinea Pig Rescue for magicking up a corner for my biccies in a booked out hall. They made £144.
