LOWCHEN PICNIC & FUN DAY 2018

On Sunday 8^th July 2018 Little Lions and their families gathered to have fun and a picnic. The venue in Staffordshire is lovely in the most beautiful setting, plenty of room outdoors and indoors should the weather not be kind, but we need not have worried yet again the weather was glorious, too much so, extremely hot but plenty of gazebos and even a paddling pool for them to keep cool. Well done to those that planned ahead and brought their own gazebos, remember in future you can do this at this event.

Thanks to a hard working team, there were lots of fun things to do, with tombola, name the elephant and crafts stalls. The Fun classes were well supported and enjoyed by all including the ever popular egg and spoon race, which is becoming quite an event in itself! We would like to say a big thankyou to Jan Hill for overseeing the fun classes for us. Huge thanks to Jacqui Watts and Darren Green providing, yet again, a super Agility Course for which Terry, Jo and of course the pink elephant stole the day!!  Grateful thanks to all the hard working Committee members and those not on Committee but worked so hard with us, as always, to make this day a great success, without you people days like this would not be possible and we appreciate your help so much.

 The highlight of the day was the Lowchen Photograph were we had 47 Lowchen pictured together and we managed to keep them all still long enough to get a great shot and even a video, albeit it took a couple of takes !!

 Wonderful to see Little Lions of all ages enjoying their day from 4 months to 16 years, well done Teelah Brown 16 years and the oldest lady again on the day, like last year.

Thanks to Kev Saker for taking the pictures and videos for us and being so patient, not an easy task trying to organise everyone in the searing sunshine.

Then it was on to the picnic, thanks to those who helped with the preparation, it all looked wonderful and thanks to Jade Pascoe manning the kitchen on the day and keeping the drinks flowing.

 It was a long tiring day and hard work for the team but so very rewarding to see all the little lions, their families and all the children who love them so much enjoying a wonderful day together.
