Coffee Morning, Fund Raising, PR.

Saturday morning at 10:00 We held a coffee morning in aid of Search Dogs Sussex.Many of my friends and Team Mates from SAR came along, we wanted to raise funds for equipment, with new dogs qualifying we need to kit them out and their handlers and Techs.
We had the usual teas and coffees but we also had some epic cakes. There was a stall for wood-turned items for sale and one with some of our own merchandise.
We had two of the team dogs, one qualified and one trainee, information boards and a slide show. Team members were on hand to talk to people who wanted to know what we do and also to find out more if they thought they may want to join the team.
We raised enough to kit out three dogs with their thermal coats (to wear after they have completed their search and for their light collars too.
The following day we sold any cakes which had not sold and managed to make over £50.00 to add to the total.
All in all a success.
 Thank you to Maz, Sam, Alana, Nicola Sheena and Mark for your help and support.
Thanks also to the team members who gave up a training session to help put on the event and to everyone who put the word out there by facebook posts, Radio ads, poster drops and website ads.
Thanks also to MOLLY and IZZY who were the stars of the show.
