First Ever Spring Ball Proves Huge Success !Wednesday April 21st 2010    The Freshfields Cattery Spring Ball was a huge success, exceeding our expectations! 130 people joined in a raucous night of 50's entertainment with Martin Cole and enjoyed a sumptuous buffet. Over £2250 was raised to improve the cattery facilities. A big thank you to Martin & Sarah Cole, and to Dan Taylor for the fabulous live entertainment, much appreciated by all. We hope to make it bigger and better next year! Please visit our Flickr page at the link below to view more photo's taken on the night. http://www.flickr.com/photos/freshfieldsrescue/sets/72157623903284250/ Fundraising Challange!Tuesday April 20th 2010 Lesley Tarleton, Freshfields' founder is once again looking to raise funds by doing a trek. Here is a recent extract from her blog on the proposed challenge:- "I am considering doing another sponsored event to raise some funds for the shelter and have been looking at several organised events. One possibility is climbing Mount Kilimanjaro which was done recently by some celebrities for Comic Relief and was televised; therefore people will know that it is not an easy option/holiday. One lady I knew was very scathing about my efforts in the Andes and referred to it as a paid holiday! All I can say is that if I want a holiday I would never ever choose anything which involved climbing or walking in extreme conditions, I swore I would never do it again when I returned from Peru but a year on and I have almost forgotten the difficulties and hardship and anyway I need to raise some serious funds for the shelter. I don't know of any other way I can do this other than getting sponsorship. There is also a trek through the Sahara desert and one in Brazil which is trekking and kayaking so I will look carefully at them all, weigh up the pros and cons and hope to make a decision in the next few weeks. It would be great if someone else would join me, even better if I could get a group together. One is in November of this year, the others Feb or March 2011 which gives a good time to raise sponsorship. If anyone is considering joining me, many of the people on the trek had never done anything like it before though had embarked on a fitness regime prior to the event (I failed to do this and still managed quite well) and I was not the eldest there by any means (makes a change) The Kilimanjaro trek will be the most difficult. Have a look at the website of Skyline or Charity Challenge for more information." So come on all Freshfields supporters, contact Lesley with some ideas and offers of support to join her!
