2007 Reunion
A MESSAGE FROM SANDIE
I would like to say a very special thank you to a very special lady – Pauline, who yet again exceeded herself in her organisational skills. She worked so hard and long into many a night organising what turned out to be a fantastic day. Well done you!!!!! Pauline also worked so hard on Saturday that she didn’t really have the time to enjoy it and meet a lot of the people and dogs. We’ll have to relieve you of the job of M.C next year, so that you have more time.
She was, of course assisted by Lynne who is another special lady and who helps so many IRR dogs and new owners to lead a healthy happy life. A big thank you Lynne.
Two unsung heros also deserve a special mention – Stephen and Ian, Pauline and Lynne’s other halves. Stephen worked tirelessly at setting up the rings, caravans, tents, port-a-loos etc., whilst Ian had the thankless task of cheuferring myself, Fiona and Janice around the Somerset countryside and taking our cheek into the bargain. My sides are still hurting from all the laughing we did. Thank you to you both.
Thanks to Ali for my “special” record and to Jackie who cried with me whilst we listened to it – it was lovely and very, very special.
Belinda and Terry, you did a great job with my christmas and thank you cards, they’re absolutely lovely. Thank you for all you do for IRR..
A HUGE THANK YOU to Lorraine, Pauline and Joy who quite literally saved my life and to all the contacts they have made that now make up the IRR team – what a great bunch you are.
It was lovely to see old friends and meet some new ones – and cry and laugh with you all. On the days I want to give it all up, I shall look back on Saturday and remember why we do it.
Looking forward to seeing you all again next year.
Love Sandie
