VE DAY 75 TH ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATIONS<br />

Sudbury celebrated the end of WW2 in 1<strong>94</strong>5 with an ecstatic, impromptu outpouring of joy and<br />

relief. On May 8th a band of small boys with biscuit tin drums and whistles marched around the<br />

town centre. Young Americans from the 486th bomb group based on Sudbury airfield, climbed onto<br />

the White Horse statue on the front of the <strong>No</strong>rth Street pub to put on a rodeo show. In the evening<br />

the local searchlight that had scanned the sky for German bombers was moved to flood light the<br />

front of St Peter’s where crowds gathered to sing and dance.<br />

This year on bank holiday Friday, May 8th – 75 years later - the town will be celebrating again.<br />

The official commemoration begins at 3pm in front of the town hall, following the traditional bank<br />

holiday plant market. The Heritage Centre in the Town Hall will be open from 10.30am to 4.30pm<br />

to share its collection of war memorabilia and there will be a perfect Selfie attraction for the day<br />

only. Visitors will be able to try on WW2 tin helmets worn by German, British and American troops.<br />

Pet advice by Ardmore Veterinary Group<br />

PET TRAVEL DURING THE BREXIT<br />

TRANSITION PERIOD<br />

You can travel with your pet to the EU under the<br />

current pet travel rules using your current UK-issued<br />

EU pet passport.<br />

If you’re travelling with your pet for the first time<br />

you’ll have to visit one of our vets to get a pet<br />

passport.<br />

Pet travel from 1 January 2021<br />

The UK will become a third country from 1 January<br />

2021. Third countries can apply to the European<br />

Commission to be listed. In the EU Pet Travel Scheme,<br />

there are 3 categorisations of third country: Unlisted,<br />

Part 1 listed, Part 2 listed.<br />

Pet travel requirements will change depending on<br />

what category the UK becomes on 1 January 2021.<br />

Please see our News section on www.ardmorevets.<br />

co.uk for more information.<br />

SPECIFIC FOOD FOR YOUR DOG OR CAT<br />

We recommend and stock the Specific diet range for<br />

all life stages as well as for clinical conditions such<br />

as allergies and kidney disease. We are pleased to<br />

provide a loyalty scheme where every 4th large, 7th<br />

medium 10th small bag of food is free. Please ask<br />

Ardmore Vets reception for further details about the<br />

Specific diet.<br />

At this time of year, a very popular treat is chocolate,<br />

especially in the form of Easter eggs. However pet<br />

owners should be cautious, especially with dogs.<br />

Chocolate in certain forms and quantities can make<br />

animals very unwell and can sometimes be fatal. The<br />

toxic component in chocolate is something called<br />

‘Theobromine’, which is used as a drug in certain<br />

medical conditions but can be fatal in excessive<br />

amounts. Many people have heard that chocolate is<br />

poisonous to animals but a common misconception is<br />

that they have to eat a lot. This does vary according<br />

to the type of chocolate and its theobromine<br />

concentration, and also the variation between each<br />

individual. Therefore if there is a possibility that your<br />

pet has consumed any chocolate then it is essential to<br />

act fast and contact your vet.<br />

Is it possible for friends to be kind to be cruel?<br />

What happens when good friends are kind to the<br />

point where, if it isn’t actually kindness that can kill,<br />

it can certainly have a negative effect on those it’s<br />

supposed to benefit?<br />

The effortlessly successful, charming couple Anthea<br />

and Richard are generous to their friends both old and<br />

new and, over a period of 12 years, we see just how<br />

generous they are in a series of social gatherings in<br />

their back garden; a fireworks party, a summer lunch,<br />

a Christmas gathering and finally a birthday bash for<br />

their daughter.<br />

A combination of jealousy, envy, inadequacy and<br />

unrequited love all afflict their assembled friends<br />

whilst Anthea and Richard proceed serenely<br />

on, seemingly oblivious to the angst they are<br />

inadvertently causing, as the years roll by.<br />

Joking Apart is directed by Mark Scanlon who was<br />

responsible for the successful Ladies Day and Ladies<br />

Down Under and was recently seen in the SDS<br />

pantomime. Mark says he is delighted to be directing<br />

the first Ayckbourn play from SDS for several years.<br />

Joking Apart is on at The Quay Theatre from Tuesday<br />

5th to Saturday 9th May at 7.45pm.<br />
