This is usually a favourite with our group and we had an excellent turnout with all the regulars plus Ann Merill, who we haven't seen for several years, with her Berns Merlin Freya and Tia, Glen and girls Gina and Jennie and also Rob and wife with his Berns Dexter & Flo, who came up from Cambridge, all attending for the first time. Also Lynn Evans niece Jenny who came up from Wales to show off her puppy Theo, and Julie resplendent in Elf outfit with her husband Dave and Berns. The event was spoiled by rain all day, there is no shelter at Louth and after 4 Hrs we were soaking wet, fed up and ready to pack up. What a shame, a great deal of effort goes into preparing for these events, dogs, Christmas outfits, owners in festive wear, carts all festive and some like Ann Merrill's that are special Christmas sleighs. However we must have got the sympathy vote because we managed to collect £10 more than last year, £416 - even though we did finish 2 Hrs early. The good people of Louth being a hardy lot who still turned out in raincoats and wellies. Thank you everyone for making the effort! P.S. It didn't rain for weeks before the event and not during the next week - Sod's Law.
