SEVENOAKS DISTRICT COUNCIL
'SCOOP THE POOP' CAMPAIGN
May 1998
The club worked with Sevenoaks District Council on this event. It gave us the opportunity to promote not only responsible dog ownership, but also the club itself.
The event was planned to coincide with National Pet Week and the idea was to help promote the council's 'Scoop the Poop' Campaign. Information stands were placed outside various busy stores within the Council's catchment area, giving us the chance to talk to people about responsible dog ownership. We were kept amused by Scoopy Doo, the council's St Bernard named for the occasion by a little girl from a local school who won the 'Name the Dog' competition!!
The whole event was great fun, but more importantly got the message across successfully. People were on the whole receptive to the new clean up law which came into force that year.
