Official letter from organizers:
Dear Staffys and Staffy Parents:
It has been 30 years since the first Annual Staffordshire Bull Terrier Walk, organized by John and Darci Swinton, took place in Vancouver!
On July 4th, 2015, at 12 NOON, we will begin a new decade of celebrating our special breed. It all takes place at ALEX HOPE PARK, in sunny Langley, B.C. There is on street parking as well as a parking lot adjacent to the park/school. We’ll be meeting at the northwest corner of the park at 212th St. and Telegraph St. (look for our banner).
Bring your family, friends and any pictures from past walks with you, for all to share. We are planning to have hot dogs, pop, and chips available for lunch, but feel free to bring your own lunch if you wish.
Also, don't forget to bring a leash, license, water, and plenty of plastic bags for clean-up. We want to keep our parks clean and set a good example for our breed. You may also want to bring a kennel, just to give your arm a rest from all the pulling. If it rains, the event is still on - just bring your umbrella and galoshes!
To commemorate this event, all participating staffys will receive a personalized souvenir certificate indicating that they have attended the 30th Annual Staffordshire Bull Terrier Walk !!
We will also be having a prize raffle. If you are able to donate raffle items, please bring them along. They would be most appreciated as the proceeds go to offset costs and the remainder will be donated for the Staffy defense fund in Ontario (for those of you who aren’t aware, this province has banned our breed along with others). We will also be having a silent auction. Let’s start the bidding !!!
If anyone thinks they can help with organizing some special staffy activities (obedience, agility, games, etc.) or if you require more information, please let us know. Thanks, and see you there! Invite your family and friends and have a staffordly good time. WOW, 30 YEARS !!!
Staffordly yours,
John & Darci
