 Flag Day - Ayr

 

As part of our fundraising efforts this yea we decided to undertake a 'Flag Day' collection in Ayr town centre. A strange venue many might think, but we recognise firstly, that many walkers travel from Ayrshire to enjoy the Galloway Hills, and secondly that the Galloway Hills edge into South Ayrshire and we have ventured onto Ayrshire soil in the past.

Five team members, three of whom live in Ayrshire, accompanied by 'Beethoven', a stand in for one of our Search Dogs, set up outside Millets Outdoors in Ayr High Street and tried their hand at encouraging the many passing Christmas shoppers to part with some of their money.

An incredible £513 was raised and the team would like to thank the people of Ayr, and its many shoppers, on Saturday 22nd November, 2003 for their donations.
