“But we aren’t just working hard at the Animal Shelter as we are also at the North Show today with the fantastic Northern Trust volunteers.”

"The North Show is always a wonderful event and at the GSPCA we are so grateful to them to be allowed to join them once again."

“We are all set up and ready to go.”

"Pop along and see our GSPCA stall at the North Show."

“Also please don’t forget the fireworks tonight at 950pm and we have popped out some advice https://www.gspca.org.gg/blog/firework-notice-today-%E2%80%93-north-show-saumarez-park-950pm .”
