Just thought we'd let everybody know that there is a fun day at Nowton Park on Sunday. In fact it's going on 4 times a week until August 29th to celebrate the Queen's 90th birthday - thought that was in April. There are different activities, events, team games, etc. for all age groups and all free. I've only just read about it in our local paper.
Whether this will cause parking problems (it starts at 11am same as the walk) or even disrupt the walk itself I've no idea, but there may or may not be a problem.

As we were holidaying in Devon on the day of the GBGW this year we went on the Plymouth walk at Saltrum House. Only 23 dogs but a lovely venue (seemed a longer walk than our usual Brandon) and we were made very welcome.
Everybody was upbeat and enjoying the weather but unfortunately about a third of the way round the man walking just ahead of us suddenly collapsed. At first we thought he'd tripped and I went to help him up. He said that he felt funny and to leave him for a minute or two. By this time the walk leader was on the scene and we all realised it was more serious than just a fall. An ambulance was immediately called and fortunately one of the walkers was a nurse in A & E and so knew more than the rest of us about what to do in this situation.
After a few minutes it was suggested that the rest of carried on with the walk while the walk leader and nurse stayed with him until the ambulance arrived. Obviously this dampened the spirit for the remaider of the walk and the planned picnic afterwards was of course cancelled.
At the end of the walk, by which time he was in hospital, we heard that it was the the start of a heart attack and so we gave our email address to Henry, the walk leader, for updates now we're back home. He was a regular on the Plymouth walk and was talking to us and fussing Harley before the start so we would like to know how he's getting on.
Oh my goodness, that's very sad - we'll contact Henry also to see how things are and I'll message you his email address so you can get in touch 
Does Henry still have Trooper?
I'm afraid Trooper went to Rainbow Bridge last year.

Thought we'd let everybody know that as from 1st May the 2 hour car parking charge on Sunday will increase from £1.30 to £1.50. As far as we know the over 2 hour charge remains the same.
Look forward to seeing you all at the next walk.
