PICTURES: Fun dog show
A fun dog show was held at the Arundel Road public house and owners took the opportunity to pop along for a pint with their pets.
Organisers Mark and Tania Davies, who run the pub, had previously set the date for July 29 but the weather forecast for the day was atrocious, so they decided to cancel the dog show the night before.

Tania said: “People from the local community came and we had about 30 dogs of all shapes and sizes.
“We raised £100 from the different classes and Wadars had a stall, so £140 was raised in total.
“I have done a dog show before at a different pub and it went very well so I was keen to do one here. We hope everyone enjoyed it as much as we did.”
