zico's mum Posted January 9, 2011 Report Share Posted January 9, 2011 Requesting items as prizes for stalls - just in case anyone contacts Committee to verify.Wonder what response I'll get this year,it's certainly getting harder to obtain items now.

zico's mum Posted January 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2011 Well Westonbirt isn't that far off already and don't want to leave it too late getting items. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olivea Posted January 11, 2011 Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 other than food suppliers - where else do you try??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zico's mum Posted January 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 Am going to try the High Street shops this year Olive for tombola prizes.Best response last year was actually Garden Centres - those with pet shops of which we have quite a few locally plus Tesco and Waitrose - only £10.00 from each but that bought quite a few treats for prizes for Canine Tennis Ball Bob. Already had several responses back to emails sent saying sorry but we receive dozens of requests daily and can't help which I expected but have also had a couple of companies sending stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacobean Posted January 11, 2011 Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 Fabulous. If you don't ask you don't get do you. The worst they can do is say no. Thanks ladies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moonbladez Posted January 13, 2011 Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 All my letters have come back a no or just ignoring me so far, so I hope you have better luck than I have Lynne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zico's mum Posted January 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 A tip for anyone else doing this - wait to see what response you get from each firm before sending the next one out,I have over 600 packets of dog food samples sitting in my home right now I'll pass some on to Amy at Dog Days and if anyone else is coming to shows I'm at will do the same,postage is just too prohibitive to post sadly.

olivea Posted January 24, 2011 Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 that's fantastic, well done! So far I've either been ignored or had "no". I'll just have to keep on trying o:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
