I had a wonderful time in London at the Woman of the Year awards lunch, what an insiration! Over 400 women who have achieved great things, sometimes despite all the odds, it was lovely to be a part of something so magical. I didn't actually win an award although nominated but I have to say that what I do doesn't compare to some of the amazing feats these ladies have worked so hard to achieve.

It was also an excellent networking opportunity and hopefully more people now know what Border Collies In Need is all about.

On a positive note, the lovely Annie has now got a super home to go to, big thanks to Jill. It's a case of one out one in as we are transporting another unwanted ex farm girlie down to Jill on Saturday (thanks to Mandy & Diane) more on her at the weekend.

Most of you will have seen our wonderful website that Helen has put together for us entirely at her own expense. We have already outgrown our start up package and now need to add more pages, banners, and other useful add ons. The cost of this will be between £200 - £300 so we are appealing for sponsorship to fund this. If any kind company or person would be willing to sponsor this or even a part of it we would be extremely grateful.
