The Melton Times have recently published that there is a fete here on Sunday 12th May!

This event is not happening – sorry for any confusion!

The event was a big success and raised a fabulous £280.00 for the hospice.  Classes included Best Sausage Catcher; Best Child Handler; Handsomest Dog; Prettiest Bitch; Golden Oldie; Cutest Puppy & the Dog the Judge would most like to take home.

Huge thanks from Dove Cottage to Countrywide’s Lisa Hammond and her colleagues for organising the show, the Sponsors who supplied the lovely prizes and to all those who took part! Also thanks to Simon at Countrywide for taking great photos and for giving them to Dove Cottage.

DOVE COTTAGE TO BUILD NEW EXTENSION

On Wednesday 10 April 2013, Dove Cottage are delighted to announce it is to receive £357,00 from the Department of Health to build a new extension to its existing building.

The full story, and more drawings of how the building will look, is available here:

We had a record number of donated lots – 240 which took a mammoth 3 hours to get through. We had around 70 willing bidders and managed to raise around £2,500 for the hospice.

Huge thanks to all of you who donated, supported and volunteered to help, it makes a tremendous difference to us and we wouldn’t be able to continue doing what we do without your help.
