My Jan has an '0' birthday coming up at the beginning of July!
She feels that, rather than people struggling to know what to get her at her age (!) she is going to ask anyone that wants to give her a gift to make a donation to Castledon.
One of my friends did this for my birthday last year.
I think this is a wonderful idea, and the knowledge that her birthday celebrations will also help our hounds will mean a lot to Jan.
Of course, anyone else can do the same - it's all for the sake of the hounds! ;D ;D ;D

I am doing that , as I have a special Birthday this year and i am having a party, (yes of course you are invited ) I am stating on the invitations that I would prefer donations to Castledon instead of presents, also the club where the party is being held is going to have a collection tin on the bar for a month prior to the party, the club is used by Airport workers, apart from me winning the lottery and making a huge donation this is the next best thing i can do, anyway all my family and friends know how passionate i am about the hounds and keeping Castledon going that i am sure they will be generous on the night!!. Save the date 6th July. ;D

What a night we had on Saturday !! ;D it was a balmy summers evening and my guests all mingled in the coolness of the venue's garden.  The Occasion ? it was my Birthday and i was having a party anyway ,but i decided that instead of people bringing gifts they could make a donation to my favourite charity. The night was a huge success, we had a raffle that raised £115 and donations totalling £475.30 so a cheque is now on it's way for £580.30 ;D ;D ;D Thank you to Andy & Jan ,Tony & Rose & Jodie & Carly for your support and donations, it was good to see you enjoying yourselves I know i have a very generous family & friends but they even excelled my expectations on the night Well done everyone !! Can I just add that Castledon rely on these donations to keep the kennels running and dogs fed etc and the majority of fundraising has to be done in the summer months Even something like a coffee morning ,charge for the cakes and coffee, a car boot sale with profits going to Castledon or a garage sale . Quiz night. etcCome on Castledon supporters ,get your thinking caps on and help raise some much needed funds for Castledon  Best Wishes Babs, Paul, Misty & Diver |
