Potteries GPR Xmas Fair Nov 16th 2024

[Qualcast&Flymo]

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

A Gross ££

 

[Wiebke]

Perhaps Hayter

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

Harvey - short for harvesting combine?

I had a very nice time today, although I felt very tired after less than 4 hours sleep and so cold but my fault for wearing a thin jacket lol.Was lovely to see familiar faces especially after loosing my cat 2 days ago.Thank you again for the sweets @Merab ,thank you for the marigolds @Qualcast&Flymo (piggies are eating some now) and thanks @YvonneBlue for my coffee and a tea for my mum.Was really nice to see @Lorcan and @Wiebke and @VickiA and of course Helen and Dave piggie lover too.

You are welcome. I plan on donating once more in December, so I will save this thread with your Website. I don't want to go searching for it online again.

[VickiA]

Excellent result. Should see the rescue through the tough winter months ahead.

@The Potteries Guinea Pig Rescue That's a lovely amount to have raised, but I'm afraid it messes with my head that it's not a nice round number... So I've donated via your website donation button the odd £22 pounds to round it up to the £1000
I haven't been able to get to any of these so far (distance/time) so it's a donation in lieu of my absence. xx

That's so lovely of you Andrea x

 

[MartiDavi]

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.

I could not even set foot indoor without showing him the goodies

Delicious as always and pretty much gone

 

[Merab]

What an amazing total, and wonderful generosity from members who couldn’t get there.
You must be pleased after all your hard work Helen and team.

It's always the highlight of my year.

 

[The Potteries Guinea Pig Rescue]

Hi folks
A coat was left at the event
Anyone on here ?

 

[YvonneBlue]

Not mine.x

 

[Merab]

Not me

 

[Qualcast&Flymo]

Oh gosh, that's mine.
I left it behind the lobby door on the floor, because there wasn't anywhere to hang it and it was wet. Obviously forgot to collect it when I left
What a dumbo

At least you’ve claimed it before it gets sold at the next fair

 

[Qualcast&Flymo]

At least you’ve claimed it before it gets sold at the next fair

It's a bit ancient so I don't think they'd get much for it - not enough to make it worth hanging on to it anyway

 

[The Potteries Guinea Pig Rescue]

Just message me your address and I will post tomorrow xx Helen

 

[Seven7]
