Another successful Stables Open Day!

The Keepers would like to thank everyone who turned up to support the Open Day this year. Despite the appalling weather forecast the day held fair and visitors turned up in their droves...... and stayed during the torrential downpour at 3pm! The lure of the Wacky Dog Show is obviously quite strong!

Some photos from the day

The Anglo-Nubian Goats - how popular were these!? They were so friendly and had no shortage of children willing to pet them!




The birds of prey are alwats popular with visitors and our thanks to HMP Latchmere for bringing them along






The Shire Horse from Richmond Park


The beautifully turned out horse and carriage


Dog-Handler, PC Steve Grange of the Wandsworth Parks Police - always a popular demonstration this one!


Our thanks to all everyone else who turned up to support us again this year:

Battersea Dogs and Cats Home
Greyhound Gap
RSPCA Putney
Natural England
Deen City Farm
Wildlife Watch Club
London Wildcare
Wimbledon Society
Norman Chapman - the Bee Man!
Jo Merriman - the basket weaver

The date for the Open Day next year is Sunday 13th July 2008 - mark it in your diaries now!

Do you have any suggestions for how we can make the Open Day bigger and better next year? If so, give us a call! We want to keep the event as much like a village fair as possible and to keep to a "countryside" theme.

Interested in having a stall at the Open Day? We allow charities to have stalls to sell merchandise to raise funds and awareness for their cause. We also like to have traditional craftspeople who can display their craft, and sell their items, but we will not permit purely commercial stalls. If you fit this criteria and would like a stall in 2008, please contact the Ranger's Office on 020 8788 7655 or by e-mail to rangers.office@btconnect.com
