Southsea Westie Walk 2024
1100 – 1400 with registration from 1000 on the road across from the Coffee cup at Eastney.
DATE FOR YOUR DIARY – SUNDAY 1ST SEPTEMBER 2024
Hello!
I only hope we are all fit and well and that 2024 will see us all meeting up again to celebrate the wonder of our Westies! Since losing my son, I gushed all of my maternal feelings into my woofers and have struggled with the grief of them leaving me and the aftermath of pain. I have yet to open my heart and let another one or two Woofers in. I have received news from several people that they too have lost their beloved Westie friends. You may feel that coming on this walk is too painful, but your support is valued and appreciated as sadly The Lullaby Trust is still necessary and all money raised will be passed on to them. Perhaps some of you will be happy for those among us whose hearts are sore, to share your Westies so that we may get some therapy?
By Sunday 1st September when all of the Summer festivals, Moonlight walks and other charity events have mainly taken place, Southsea Common will be ready to welcome us at the finish and a ‘waggle’ (Collective word) of Westies, will descend once more onto the grass for photo opportunities, a raffle, and all manner of Westie goodies including “Bella’s Bisquits” which will be for sale. The kiddies will still be off and we will be fast heading towards the end of Summer. Having completed a huge application to Portsmouth Council right, it looks like, we have the go ahead!
Please like and follow our Facebook page for updates and if you need to know anything, you can find all the details here on this website. If you can’t then please message me and I will answer your questions, as soon as I can.
It is £10 donation to take part and please try and get your woofer sponsored to raise as much money as possible. For those of you who are new to this walk, I promise you will have a great time and plenty of opportunity to speak to other Westie lovers and parents who may have quietly been dealing with loss. I hope your hearts feel the joy of us coming together to celebrate the wonder of Westies!
Wishing you all the very best until we meet again soon.
