Next week sees our Fun Dog Show at River Beal Café Next week sees our Fun Dog Show at River Beal Café and Community Hub, raising funds for RSPCA (England & Wales)' RSPCA Hollingworth Lake Animal Centre.

We are going the extra mile for our animal friends with two exciting competitions at Marle House.

For £2 a go, you can guess the name of our adorable doggie or guess how dog biscuits are in the jar. If you win the dog's name competition, you can take this fellow home.

If you can count the number of dog biscuits correctly, you can take home a divine doggie hamper. A fabulous hamper with dog food and dog treats to pamper your pooch. 

Good luck everyone!
