YOU GUYS ARE THE BEST...THANK YOU!
A grand total of £870.67 was raised for Whitby and Scarborough Dog Rescue at Whitby Steampunk Weekend XIX.
EDIT: WE HAVE AN UPDATED FIGURE WHICH IS NOW £1000 due to an incredibly generous donation from our friends at Rusty Shears, thank you Justin and team Rusty's x
Thank you all for your incredible generosity, support and love shown to our chosen charity, your kindness is much appreciated and really will make a difference to them helping and caring for our fabulously fluffy and furry friends.
On behalf of Whitby and Scarborough Dog Rescue and myself at WSW Events - thank you
May I take this opportunity to personally acknowledge and thank a number of kind souls who helped to make a success of the event, and in promoting Whitby and Scarborough Dog Rescue.
To the fabulous Chris from Whitby and Scarborough Dog Rescue who has (as always) been a massive help and assistance over the weekend, thank you buddy, much appreciated.
The weekend kicked in style with the Friday Fashion Show, and our sister Rachel of fabulous Faeries,Follies & Favours did us proud managing and producing Fashion Show, and to all our models, fluffers and helpers turning the idea into a brilliant success, and of course our superb Traders who chose to take the opportunity to showcase their wonderful creations.
Special thanks also to Robert and Helen from Bydand Design for being our amazingly brilliant quizmasters, and to Justin and his team at Rusty Shears for going the extra mile and being the best hosts for our charity quiz every Feb and July, bless you friends.
Throughout the weekend Paul Eccentric of The Periwinkle Perspective was our very special MC for the weekend, an absolute gent of the highest order, thank you friend.
The weekend has highlighted many things for me as the organiser of our little event in a cold northern seaside town in the middle of winter, and putting it all into perspective, it's not about us, it's simply about helping our furry friends, and the amazing job Whitby and Scarborough Dog Rescue do for them.
Thank you to all who supported, contributed and involved, you are incredible.

With all good wishes,
