PAMPERED pooches and delightful dogs are wanted to help a charity celebrate its 50th birthday.

The Sue Ryder Care Centre at Holme Hall, Holme-on-Spalding Moor, is holding a dog show and garden party to mark the organisation's 50th anniversary.

The annual dog show, from 1pm to 4pm on Saturday, July 12, will include classes such as fancy dress, the waggiest tail and the prettiest bitch. Entries are from 12.30pm and cost £1.50 a class.

Admission to the garden party is £1 for adults and children are free.

The proceeds will go towards Holme Hall, which cares for people as young as 18 with life-changing and neurological conditions.

For more information, phone Els Thompson or Linda Chapman on 01430 860904.
