First RSPCA event at Aldeburgh hailed a great success

We are excited to announce that our first ever event in Aldeburgh has raised an astounding £650.84. Every penny will go to help animals in our Branch area.  

With the help of the Aldeburgh Town Clerk, Kim Puttock, we were able to stage a fun dog show and fete on the rugby pitch in Aldeburgh on Sunday. Many thanks to the rugby club who allowed volunteers and stallholders to use their lovely clubhouse during the event.

Despite a couple of squalls, there were many visitors, and the dog show was immensely popular. Guest judge was Councillor TJ Haworth-Culf, Mayor of Aldeburgh, who we hope didn’t get too wet! The overall “Dog of the Day” was a two-and-a-half-year-old mixed setter called Leo, who had been rescued from Zante Dogs, who had previously won the Second Chance (best rescue) class.  

Many thanks to Gladwells for a brilliant main raffle prize and P&R Locksmiths in Martlesham who kindly sponsored the rosettes and the Dog of the Day trophy.

More thanks go to the stallholders who brought a fantastic range of quality goods.

As always, our gratitude goes to the volunteers who make fundraising events like these – along with store collections and quizzes – possible. Many thanks: Jean, Geoffrey, Lorna, Marilyn, Karen, Jane, Lesley, Mark, Angela, Stephen, Mary, Rebecca and Diane.
