Aldeburgh Dog Show raises almost £1500

Through the help of our wonderful volunteers, staff and sponsors, our second fun dog show and fete at Aldeburgh raised a stunning £1423.95 for animal welfare across Suffolk.

Favoured by beautiful sunshine, our fun dog show attracted over 150 entrants, with the Dog of the Day prize going to Ody, a 6-year-old black and tan whose breed was described as “who knows” by his owner. Our guest judge was Councillor TJ Haworth-Culf, Mayor of Aldeburgh, who had the impossible job of choosing the various class winners.

Gladwells Pet and Country Stores have generously become our headline sponsor for all our dog shows, donating vouchers to each winner and a star prize for the Dog of the Day. The Wentworth Hotel and Flick & Son, independent estate agents, were our Silver sponsors here, with Wendy Beckham photography and Hoff Media judging Crossbreed with Character and Second Chance (best rescue) respectively. Many thanks to 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.

Many thanks to the Aldeburgh Town Clerk, Kim Puttock, as well as the Aldeburgh Rugby Club who allowed us to use their pitch and clubhouse during the event.

To everyone who helped, be that on the day or in the run up, baking, putting up signs and posters or sharing our event on social media – thank you. Without you, such fundraising events simply would not happen.
