Santa Arrives at Christmas Open Day

ByJon

The 2012 Christmas Open Day was a great success, thank you everyone who turned out in the bitter cold to support the charity and raise some much needed funds.

The day was attended by around 400 and we raised a fantastic £2,464.

We really can’t thank people enough and really appreciate everyone’s hard work and help. Hopefully before Christmas we will have more exciting news so watch this space.

Santa and his Elf mistake Boris for a reindeer!

‘Veggies’ serving fabulous, healthy food throughout the day who also donate their days profits to us.

Boris always loves a good fuss, so at open days he’s in his element, getting a good scratch all day long.

Whenever we have an open day, every one makes a beeline to see Boris, he is very popular and loved by all.

Rocky assumed his usual position in the cinema!

Ryan and Joe enjoy some fuss.

Rocky realises that he can free range on the drive beyond the gate and tries to get to the ‘Veggies’ stall.

The tombola and raffle girls worked so hard – thanks girls (and boys).

The farm in Norfolk where we fetched them from, was emptying their sheds, replacing 20,000 birds with young hens, to keep the egg yield high. We couldn’t rescue all 20,000 hens that are probably only around 18 months old, but…

    We had decided not to take on any more pigs, 12 pigs eat a lot of food. However when we heard about this poor girl and saw the condition that she was in, we had to do what we could to help get her out of the squalid, muddy conditions that she was kept in.
