Flea Market Update

The Flea Market on Sunday the 15th April was a great success, we raised almost £1,000 for the cause.

A big “Thank You” to all the LCR volunteers, we couldn’t do it without you.

Welcome to Cheryl, (Lola’s Mum) who was a great help at her first (hopefully of many) Flea Market.

Well done to Simon who managed to raise a record amount selling various donated items in the in the foyer.

Regards from Christine.

DOCK CAT UPDATE

Brian went back to Preston Dock this morning, climbed back down the dock wall and secured a cat trap level with the culvert. He had to wait several hours in the cold but it paid off and the cat walked in following the smell of tuna which Brian had used to bait the trap. In the meantime I had received a telephone call from the cats owner, who had seen our post on our website. Lola was first spotted on the ladder on the dock wall last Thursday! She has been missing since 14th March and is now safely back home. Who needs the RSPCA?

Help needed

 

Anyone know of any divers out there? Brian has just lost his phone in Preston Dock!
Seriously, does anyone know where the culverts from the dock wall lead to? Brian and I have just gone to Preston Dock after a phone call about a cat halfway down the dock wall. When we got there Brian tied a rope round himself and a couple of men lowered him down. I heard him swear! thats when his phone fell out of… his pocket. The cat is in a culvert half way down the wall, as Brian was lowered over two seagulls flew off making a noise which we think spooked the cat who vanished inside the culvert, and Brian could not see it. Realising we were probably out of our depth on this one I rang the RSPCA who refused to come out, even in the morning as the cat is not entangled or trapped in some way??? Poor little cat, Brian is going to go back in the morning.
