Well the The Great North Snowdog adventure is over - The grand auction was held last night at the Sage Gateshead, and it was a really fun night, 63 dogs, large and small were auctioned off over the course of three hours and there were a lot of very good spirited people in the room and lots of cash was splashed!

Thanks to the generous bids across the room, by telephone and from the internet the dogs made a total of £252000 - which is amazing and we were thrilled to bits when our Wor Geordie contributed £4500 towards that total. I am so very proud to have been part of the team and part of the whole event. Theres live coverage of the sale on this link...

While I have to admit being a little disappointed about our Crowdfunding attempt, I know I was always very optimistic but nothing ventured nothing gained and I'm really pleased we did manage to raise just under £300 which will be donated to St Oswalds Hospice. Thank you again to all those who donated. I also want to thank NBS, our sponsors, who went to the auction and bid for Wor Geordie but he escalated out of their price range a shame for them but great for the hospice.
Apparently its all happening again in 2019 - how exciting I hope I can be part of it!!
