We would like to announce the formation of a new fund raising branch linked to the Tollgate breeding centre.
Our inaugural meeting was held on 8th June with a good response and a committee of 16 was formed.

We aim to raise funds in the area  south of the M40      including
Stratford, 
Stow-the-Wold,
Moreton in Marsh
and areas in between.
We would welcome help from Guide Dogs' supporters in the area.

Our plans for the autumn include
Batsford Arboretum 18th Oct.,
Moreton-in-Marsh Market 24th Nov.,
store collections in Moreton on 23rd & 24th Oct.  and Stow on 14th Dec.

Hi Bob,
 
I knew Chris since 2001 when I had a dog from her brood bitch at the time, Wallace.
When William came to us he was 6 months and we were over the moon with him, Chris was a big support to me as a first time puppy walker.  When Wallace had her next litter we had another pup called Maxie, 

Maxie went on to become a Guide Dog and I kept in constant touch with Chris and visited with my other puppies along the years, she    became a close friend who was always there when needed for guidance and a friendly chat  Chris was really pleased when Maxie    returned home to us 2 years ago as her owner became ill and she is a now loved pet, Maxie visited her mum Wallace and Chris at least once year where we enjoyed Gala day together.
 
She is a big loss to Guide Dogs, her family and all her friends her knew this lovely, caring lady.
