Local badminton group???
Sadly the Social Badminton at Ally Park School has stopped. Does anyone know of any places locally where you can turn up to play without the hassle of booking a court and finding other people to play with? I'd be grateful!

Queenie a Jack Russell dog urgently needs a home

Queenie is a female Jack Russell, 13 years old, neutered and urgently needs a home. Her elderly owner is not able to look after her anymore and doesn't think Queenie would cope waiting in kennels for a home. Queenie needs a home with no other dogs or cats as she is not cat/dog friendly. Queenie is in good health for her age, apart from a little arthritis. If you might be able to help with a temporary foster home or permanent home, please contact Stokey Cats & Dogs by email…

Manju is about 2 years old, neutered, and seems to like other cats. If you…

The Friends are also encouraging locals whose gardens border the park to make hedgehog holes in…
