THE GUIDE DOG EXPERIENCE – WEDNESDAY 19TH OCTOBER 2022
19th October 2022
We shall drive to Leamington Spa in Warwickshire, famous for its wide boulevards, Georgian and Edwardian architecture and Jephson Gardens. After a short break in the town we shall visit the Guide Dogs for the Blind Training School. It started in 1941 and today trains 220 dogs a year, so you are invited to take part in the Guide Dog Experience and learn about this life-changing work. You can find out how it all began and how a guide dog is trained; meet the dogs and take a picture of your favourite; experience a blind-fold walk; visit the gift shop and meet the owners or puppy walkers. There will be time for tea and biscuits before setting off for home, a stop being made en-route, arriving home by approximately 7.30pm. There is no admission charge but donations to the training school are very welcome. The visit is timed for 1.30pm and that is the only time the centre accepts group visits so the time available in Leamington Spa is restricted
