A belated "Thank you "

Those of you that have visited Foal Farm recently will know that the Pet Shop has returned to its proper home. The Pet Shop is now insulated and damp proofed on its three outside walls thanks to the hard work of two fantastic volunteers.

Thank you so much to Jim Holmes and Terry Kilsby both of whom gave their time and money into getting the work completed.

Starting next week I hope to regularly feature our "Best Sellers" showing you some of the favourite items that sell regularly in the Pet Shop.

To remind you -- the Pet Shop is open on Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays from 1.30pm -4.30pm.

Hope to see you there.

Shaun the Sheep meets Shaun the Sheep

The children’s television show character had a brilliant time meeting his real life counterpart Shaun, 15, who is a resident at Foal Farm.

Shaun the Sheep completed a tour of the borough promoting Shaun’s Big Show which is showing at The Churchill theatre.

Foal Farm Chief Executive Kim Puttock said: "Our Shaun is every bit as lovable as his television double and it was great to have his more famous TV friend here to support our appeal for more sponsors for long term residents like Shaun.”

Go to Foal Farm Sponsorship for details of the animal(s) you can sponsor.

Bargain Time

We have a small range of Pet Shop stock offered, while stocks last, at reduced prices.

This is in the hope that no goods will go out of date or become unsaleable during the time the Pet Shop is undergoing repairs.

These are only available on Saturdays and Sundays as the work takes place on weekdays.

Come and have a look.

Thanking you as always for your custom.

Foal Farm's Pet Shop

A belated Happy New Year to you all.

Many of you will know that the Pet Shop has not yet re-opened after Christmas and the New Year. This is because it is undergoing essential works. If you have ever been a customer of The Pet Shop in the winter, you will know that it can be bitterly cold. Also, in the summer, it is very hot because there is at present no insulation on the bare boards that form the three outside walls. The plan is to put plastic sheeting along the long wall, wait for the wall to dry out and then put in insulation and board that over.
This unfortunately will take a little while. We plan to still have our popular donated goods,bird food etc outside on Rummage Sale Day ( January 30th) but cannot re-open until the work has been completed.
We are really sorry but this work is essential.

Thank you all for your custom in 2010 and we look forward to seeing you soon.

Best Wishes

Liz, Anne ,Pat and Chriss
