Submitted by Steve on 18:43, 28th Mar, 2016 | 0

On Good Friday and Easter Saturday the GSPCA Manager Steve Byrne with the Easter Bunny held two fun events for groups of children with their parents.

With over 35 children taking part over the two days the families got to see behind the scenes at the GSPCA as well as learning all about rabbits and their care.

Each child on arrival received a Treasure Hunt bunny sheet, a lollipop, GSPCA sticker and pen.  They then had a picture with the Easter Bunny at the front of the Shelter before being shown around the site in St Andrews.

It is with a heavy heart that we write this blog to inform you that due to a number of recent cancellations we are afraid we are having to postpone the GSPCA Masquerade Ball at the Farmhouse on the 1st April.

We are hoping to reschedule later in the year with Save the Date, Youthe and the Farmhouse and we are already looking at alternative dates, possibly in September and will of course let everyone know as soon as we have dates set.

Here is a write up from Aoife Bennett an amazing lady who with Mike Meinke are taking on a challenge to raise funds for the many animals at the GSPCA.

Aoife Bennett says.....

Following a long recovery as a result of breaking two bones in my back in 2009, it has been a challenge to maintain a steady level of fitness. Later in 2014 I contracted a viral infection that seriously affected my balance called Labyrinthitis, which meant no exercise for a further 6 months.

So what has kept me going?
