Submitted by GSPCA on 14:03, 21st Feb, 2013 | 0

On Saturday the 9th March the GSPCA will be holding a bric-a-brac sale, coffee morning and guided tours due to demand.

A number of islanders have been asking that we hold a weekend event to enable them to have a look around and see the two seal pups through the one way glass before they are released back to the wild next month.

The day will start at 9.15am with the first tour being at 9.30am.  We are asking for a minimum donation of £5 per person for the tour and we require at least one adult per 6 children.
