Sponsored Fun Run and Dog Walk
In aid of the RSPCA

Organised in association with

was held on Sunday 12th January 2003

A great day was had by all at the who attended the Fun Run and Dog Walk. We have so far raised £450 with more to come in. 31 entrants took part and had a wonderful day. The RSPCA had organised hot soup which was very popular with the entrants after they had finished their 9km walk. Two volunteers form the Sutton Voluntary Bureau were dressed in dog outfits & went round the course raising awareness and some money too.

Sue Akeroyd had kindly donated several prizes - to the fastest runner, youngest entrant, coldest looking person, muddiest dog, etc. She also acquired boxes of donated dog food, courtesy of
Andy Brown from Premium Pet Foods which Ian is kindly collecting for either our local Animal Collection Office, or Putney Animal Hospital, or both.
