Pets Win Prizes.
 

According to today's Observer the Friend's of Rhyddings Park, under the Chairmanship of our very own Neil, has secured a further £1,231 funding for the revamp of Pet's Corner.

Fantastic.

Might it not be a good idea if you could start a Friend's thread here, so people could be updated about developments, or for you to seek assistance when you need it?

Re: Pets Win Prizes.
 

I think one thread on the Friends would become to big. People don't like reading 50 posts to get to the last message so they don't bother reading them at all. I think it would be better to start threads on individual aspects of the park when appropriate.

Re: Pets Win Prizes.
 

In answer to your pm Neil, it does say that the money has been successfully secured in the Observer.

Why, has it not?

Re: Pets Win Prizes.
 

Congratulations Neil. I haven’t read the full story yet but I’ve no doubt that Pets corner is in the best of hands. I would agree this isn’t perhaps the best medium for the friends, really nothing should detract people from attending the appropriate meetings etc.

Re: Pets Win Prizes.
 

In the paper they are still appealing for people to volunteer to go on the animal management course. I thought a thread here might give them more publicity, not everyone buys the Observer.

Re: Pets Win Prizes.
 

What on earth does that mean, or have to do with the thread?

If people can sell baby buggies on here successfully, perhaps people could also be informed when volunteers are needed for a worthwhile cause.

Your comment: - not everyone buys the Observer.

My Comment: - Not every person with the required intelligence is a member of Accy-web either.

It simply means the same thing.

In reply to your suggestion Neil made a Statement as to why he didn’t want to have long drawn out threads. But he did say that he would prefer to post individual notices as required.

In my post, I agreed with his assessment and went to imply that it’s preferable for interested parties to attend meetings.

Re: Pets Win Prizes.
 

I wholehearted support this initiative and I am sure that it will be successful. I’m going to assume that NVQs are involved in the process for the candidates of the Animal Management Courses?

Out of interest what animals or current in situ?

What are you looking to bring in?

When you’re ready for voluntary labour do I bring my own Shovel?

Are you buying the beer?

Edited my reply, not wanting to go off thread.:)

Re: Pets Win Prizes.
 

There's an article about the still missing cocks and bunnies in this week's Observer.

Our own Neil is quoted, though its confusing as who is actually to blame for the lack of progress because of funding.

I'll blame HBC until I'm told otherwise.:D

Re: Pets Win Prizes.
 

Maybe I will start a thread explaining the story so far when I have an hour or two.

Re: Pets Win Prizes.
 

I could take a picture of you and Peter Britcliffe cuddling a bunny for next year's calendar?

It will after to be in day light as the flash isn't working on my camera, and I'm not supposed to go into the bushes with strange men after dark.:D

Re: Pets Win Prizes.
 

They will have to find a new calendar artist this year ;)

Oh dear.:(

Are you still awaiting your royalty cheque?:p
