On Wednesday and Thursday once again we went west ot enjoy and run a stall at the fantastic West Show.

Although a little wet on the Wednesday a team of volunteers and staff helped man the GSPCA stall to raise funds and promote the work of the Animal Shelter.

Lorna Prince, Steve Byrne, Reece Gilman, Duncan Cumming, Jo Fox, Joseph Fox, Ellie Fox, Yvonne Chauvel, Kevin Beausire and Helen Holmes helped run the stall over the 2 days and we are hugely grateful to the hundreds, if not thousands of visitors that popped by to support us.

Greenman MCC are holding a charity bike night tonight for the GSPCA in honour of Bryony Le Tissier between 7-9pm.

Earlier this year the Greenman MCC donated a lovely bench in memory of Bryony Le Tissier who loved animals and is located at the GSPCA over looking the pond at the Shelter.

It takes place in front of the Whiterock Cafe.

These evenings are very relaxed and social events with bikers having a brew and chatting.

All are welcome and the GSPCA would like to thank all that are supporting in advance of the event.
