Wags & Wellies
Sunday 26th September 2010 2:30pm - 5:00pm


"Calling all dogs - have you signed up your owner yet?"  Dougal the Labradoodle has!  His owner is taking part in the St Barnabas Hospice Wags & Wellies Sponsored Dog Walk being held on Sunday 26th September. 

All dogs are invited to bring their owners along and put their best paws forward for a fun afternoon walk round the picturesque village of Welton.  Dougal says "there are plenty of lovely sniffs and smells for us dogs and our owners can enjoy plenty of fresh air and exercise."

And don't worry if you haven't got your own pooch to be sponsored for the event, why not borrow one or, better still, dress up as one! And as a special thank you for raising money, every waggy-tailed walker will receive a special Wags & Wellies treat.
Make your paw prints count by helping us to raise money for St Barnabas Hospice.
Registration costs just £5 per dog.  Dogs who raise over £50 sponsorship for St Barnabas will receive an extra special gift on the day.  All money raised from this event goes towards Hospice care in Lincoln.
Dougal the Labradoodle, Lead Dog says ‘So give your owners a treat and sign them up today"
For further information or to get your registration packs please call the St Barnabas Fundraising Office on 01522 540300.

Budding actors wanted!


Scothern Players amateur dramatic group have been established since 1994 and have built up an enviable reputation for quality productions that almost always sell out. The group, based at Scothern Community Centre, recently won an award at the Skegness Playgoers Festival in the one-act play category, which also successfully toured around other Lincolnshire villages.

The Players are currently planning for their next production in Feb 2011 and are looking for new members, not just as actors but also to help out with stage management, set design, production and front of house.

John Anthony, the group's Chairman and one of the founder members said: ‘Two of our most stalwart members have recently retired and, as we would like to put on bigger productions, we are looking for new members, particularly males, who fancy treading the boards. Newcomers of any age are always welcome, and you don't have to have acted before - if this is something that you have always wanted to do but never had the opportunity before then we would like to hear from you. We are a very friendly group and everyone gets involved in each production to ensure it's success - and when the first performance of a new play ends and the audience  

applauds, it is one of the greatest feelings that you can experience.'

If you would like to know more, please contact the Scothern Players Secretary, Jonathan Backhouse on  01673 861737, email: secretary@scothernplayers.org.uk
