Charity Dog Show

Harry and his family had the brilliant idea of holding a Dog Show to raise money for the Centre - he has written to tell us all about it:

"In the summer holidays we had a dog show in the front field to raise money for the Michael Palin Centre. About 45 dogs came and we had invented 8 different classes for them. The most popular was the obstacle course made from show jumps. Then there was a `dog with the waggliesd tail` class and a `dog with the best trick` class. The funniest was the `fancie dress`. Everybody won rosettes except for me!

We had a `throw the wellie` competition and a coconut shy (with cabbages and mellons because we couldn't buy coconuts). There was rifle range and a mistery fortune teller. It was a very hot sunny day and everyone brought picnics."

This event raised £980 for the Centre!

Success Stories
Rees (10) only stammered at school and only in some lessons. It made a real difference to him when we arranged an informal meeting for him, his teacher and his parents.

He came up with some sensible ideas to help his teacher deal with those difficult moments.
