Harry and his family had the brilliant idea of holding a Dog Show to raise money for the Centre - he has written to tell us all about it:
"In the summer holidays we had a dog show in the front field to raise money for the Michael Palin Centre. About 45 dogs came and we had invented 8 different classes for them. The most popular was the obstacle course made from show jumps. Then there was a `dog with the waggliesd tail` class and a `dog with the best trick` class. The funniest was the `fancie dress`. Everybody won rosettes except for me!
We had a `throw the wellie` competition and a coconut shy (with cabbages and mellons because we couldn't buy coconuts). There was rifle range and a mistery fortune teller. It was a very hot sunny day and everyone brought picnics."
This event raised £980 for the Centre!
