Great turnout for the return of the Thornhill Fun Dog Show

Friends of Rectory Park in Thornhill were thrilled to re-start their annual Fun Dog Show.

Thornhill Fun Dog show, held on Saturday, included competitions such as ‘dog with the cutest eyes’ and ‘my best pal- with junior handlers’.

The group also provided lots of tea and cake, stalls, tombola, and a wellie wanging contest.

The winner of the dog show was Barbara with dog Coope, and Ted, 15, won the wellie wanging.

Jayne Wood, secretary of Friends of Rectory Park, said: “It was a great turnout, with a couple of hundred people attending.

“The park is a popular venue for dog walkers so being able to come together and share everybody’s joy in dog ownership and celebrate the companionship they give makes for a good day.

“The group receives no external funding and this is their main fundraising event.”

The Friends of Rectory Park are a volunteer group who work with Kirklees to maintain the park for the community.
