 |
|
Essex Dog Display Team |
|
Working with many different breeds of dogs, the Essex Dog
Display team produce a professional action packed and
entertaining display, coupled with a superb commentary,
these happy dogs will leave the audience spellbound.
The central feature of the display is a 100ft by 8ft
high ramp which the dogs negotiate at high speed through
hoops of fire, also on the ramp a unique demonstration of
dogs negotiating human obstacles.
 Controlled attack
dogs apprehend fleeing criminals whilst under 'gunfire'.
Searching and retrieving and agility races, are just some of
the many exercises included in the display. The team do not
teach exercises that the public are known to frown on, such
as walking along parallel bars or wire bond or high ladders.
Many of the dogs in the team are rescue dogs and
organisers of events together with the public need to know
the welfare of the dogs is paramount. So as well as the CLA
Game Fair, County Shows, the Five Nations Rugby Tournament
at Twickenham, the team also appear at many other varied
events. Canine organisations such as the Kennel Club, Police
Forces, Guide Dogs, Battersea Dogs Home and animal welfare
groups have all asked the team to appear at their events. |

About Oatlands Village Fayre |
Oatlands Village
Fayre
Saturday 19th May 2012 12.30 pm
Oatlands Recreation Ground, Oatlands, Weybridge, Surrey |
|
Oatlands Village Fayre is a
traditional village fayre that has been running continuously
since 1962.
It is organised primarily by parents and friends
of Oatlands Scout and Guide Groups for the enjoyment of
local people and is a well established local community
event. |
|
Initially it was held in the Working Men’s Club in Oatlands Village, Weybridge but it
soon outgrew this site and relocated to its present site at
the Oatlands Recreation Ground, opposite Oatlands Park
Hotel. |

|
The Fayre attracts 4,000 paying visitors
and has 50 stalls manned by volunteers or commercial
organisations. Each year there is always a main attraction. But there will
also be the Cleves School Steel Pans, the Cubs Tug of War
competition and the Oatlands Pipe Band, amongst other
displays. |
 |
|
Oatlands Village
Fayre - A Family Event |
|
|
This is a fund raising event but it is
also a special local community day. Old
acquaintances/friendships are re-made and community
well-being and spirit is strengthened. In 2010 the fair
raised a record-breaking £13,000. In excess of £10,000 has
been raised each year for the previous three years and this
is then distributed to many local charities including the
local Scouts and Guides packs, Walton Leigh School for
Special Needs, Youth Carers, Oatlands School, and Cleves
School. |
|
Good Causes Helped
The proceeds benefit Oatlands Scouts, Guides and the following
local charities and good causes: |
|
St John Ambulance, Oatlands Pipe Band, St Mary's
Church Oatlands, Oatlands Infants School, Cleves School, St James School, Mencap of
Walton, Samaritans, Lower Mole Countryside Trust, Elmbridge Community Link, Young Carers of Elmbridge, Weybridge
District Rangers, Walton Leigh School for Special Needs and Oatlands Village Hall. |

organisations without whose kind support the Oatlands
Village Fayre 2011 would not have been possible:
Churchfield Nursery School, Martin Flashman, Toshiba, Sony,
Procter and Gamble |
