We aim to work within a 20 mile radius but are happy to discuss terms for events slightly further afield. As well as children's donkey rides, donkeys are also available for special events, school visits, festivals and promotional work. Want something a bit different at your child's birthday party? I can bring along one or two donkeys for the kids to ride and get to know. Or need a very popular addition to your fete or fair? Kids love donkeys and donkeys love kids! The donkeys are led at all times and safety is paramount, as is the welfare of the donkeys. The rides are aimed at smaller children and are totally at the discretion of the owner. Our six donkeys are fully licensed by the Council and have been passed by a vet as fit to work. We are also fully insured for third party liability. So if you would like to have the added draw of donkeys at an event you are involved in, please contact Rainbow Donkeys, full details are available in our advert, who will be more than happy to discuss individual requirements and terms.

The dispensers at Capel St Mary managed manfully by hand writing the prescriptions and the staff on both sites did their best to cope with the situation, but obviously there were serious delays in getting repeat prescriptions out to patients and we are grateful for your understanding. Indirectly as a result of this, we are upgrading our computer system in January and by the time you read this, all the work should be complete. We are grateful once again for your understanding while this work was carried out. And finally, a big thank you to everyone who so kindly brought presents of chocolates, biscuits and alcohol to the surgery before Christmas. The staff are extremely appreciative of your kind thoughts and best wishes. Page 13 To Contact LOOK Call 01206 251668 STEPHEN J.
