Can your team take the trophy off the Plough Inn?
Once again we will be holding a Giant Animal Mascot event as part of our Animal Welfare Seafront Sunday celebrations.
This is open to mascots and individuals prepared to dress as an animal and play a fun football game with a rather over sized ball.
We are asking businesses, pubs, individuals or anyone as a team of 5 or an individual and we can make extra teams on the day.
Don't worry about what to wear we will provide the Giant Animal Mascot suit and have over 70 available to choose from.
To join in the our giant animal 5-a-side football game in Guernsey we are asking you to raise funds for the Shelter, ideally a minimum of £22 per person or £100 for a team of 5.
All the money raised will go towards helping animals in Guernsey.
For businesses wanting to join in we will feature in our next newsletter, on our website and you can put a banner up on the day.
We are welcoming children to dress up in their own suits and also have a game through the day for a donation.

There are lots of events happening during the Animal Welfare Seafront Sunday from a fun dog show, arts and crafts stalls, live music kids games, food stalls and much more
This is the ninth year the event has taken place and in previous years we have seen Bernard, Daniel the Island FM Donkey and Roary the GFC Lion and over 90 other competitors.
Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said “We are delighted to announce that we will indeed be holding our GSPCA Animal Welfare Seafront Sunday in 2020 on the 13th September.”
“The Coronavirus Crisis has hit us all and we were devastated to cancel our biggest event of the year back in May, but thanks to the #GuernseyTogether spirit and now that we are in Phase 5 we have been allowed to hold this amazing event.”
“We really want to hear from those wanting to getting involved and help make this a fantastic and unique day celebrating animals in Guernsey.”
“With less than 5 weeks until the big day we have a lot to prepare in a short period of time.”
"Every day is a real challenge to raise the funds required to run the Shelter and we cannot thank those that have supported us during these difficult days."
“The Giant Animal Mascot 5-aside is a real highlight of our event and we are appealing for animal hero’s to come forward to take part.”
Lorna Chadwick GSPCA Animal Welfare Manager said “We are so thankful that we can hold our GSPCA Animal Welfare Seafront Sunday this year.”
”It was so sad when we had to announce it wasn’t taking place in May.”
“We have an incredible number of stalls booked in and so much to see and do.”
“We are putting plans together and really want to hear from anyone wanting to get involved or with great ideas to help raise funds, promote the work of the GSPCA and celebrate animals in Guernsey.”
Steve continued “This will be our 9th Animal Welfare Seafront Sunday and we want it to be a great day to celebrate the freedoms both we and our animals enjoy here in Guernsey.”
“We have launched the Seafront Sunday web page and any stall holders, buskers, entertainers that want to get involved please do email [email protected] , [email protected] or call 01481 257261.”
“With running costs of £2000 a day raising the funds to keep the Shelter going is a daily challenge and without kind supporters we could not carry out our around the clock work.”
“During the lock down we launched our #GSPCACoronavirusCrisisAppeal .”
“We have had some amazing donations towards this much needed appeal and if you would like to donate you can do so by calling 01481 257261, by post or online via our web page https://giving.gg/donate/event/5876/GSPCA-Coronavirus-Emergency-Appeal .”
“Another great way to supporting is by donating each month and to find out details please visit this web page http://www.gspca.org.gg/sites/default/files/Angel%20sponsor%20form%20special%202018%20new.pdf .”
"Without the amazing public support we could not achieve so much and from supporting our #GSPCACoronavirusCrisisAppeal to our Animal Welfare Seafront Sunday, from us all at the GSPCA and all for the animals thank you."
"Those teams or individuals that sign up to dress as a giant animal or character to play a fun 5-a-side football game and get to chose their animal suit or we even have suits like Dave the Minion and Olaf."
"All the funds raised will help animals in Guernsey."
"It's not a normal game as there are lots of surprises."
"All we ask is a minimum donation of £22 per player or £100 a team of 5, we provide the costume and the fun starts at 2pm on the 13th September."
"Game lengths will depend on numbers and our very own Bernard the GSPCA dog will be there."
"Please do get in touch for more information or check out the details online."
“Last years champions were the Plough Inn, could the 2020 winners be you or your business?”
