Countryside to Town
2005 Brocklesby Hound Puppies a Huge Hit
with Brigg Shoppers On Saturday a small group of
Brocklesby Hunt supporters manned a Countryside to Town
stand in Brigg in the Bandstand in the centre of the
marketplace. Two puppies from the Kennels attended, behaved
immaculately and were the stars of the show. From the
outset, bringing them from a nearby Car Park, they were much
admired. Many children came to meet the pupipes, and take
home a balloon. There was huge amount of support for what we
were doing. Countless shoppers of all ages took time to
admire the pups, talk to us and take away the literature.
Many remarked on how nice it was to see us naturally
integrated as part of the rural community on Farmers' Market
Day, and many stallholders came to express their support.
Most visitors had a very laid back, 'live and let live'
attitude. We did not have a single
adverse remark from anyone. Time and again two comments
emerged - and frequently from teenagers, 'I have never had
anything to do with it, but banning it doesn't seem to make
sense.' The other remark from right across the board was
that people are sick of embracing other cultures, only to
have their own denied them. As our literature says 'Fight
Prejudice. Fight the Ban!' Click on the thumbnails to
