The Brockwell Park Dog Show is (was???) a free, fun, and inclusive community event, with a "scruffs not crufts" vibe, promoting responsible dog ownership. It was free to watch, enjoyed by young and old alike, and anyone could enter their dog for a small fee of £1. The event was supported by local businesses, with /profits/ donated to Brockwell Park and the Blue Cross animal charity.

This year, without warning, it has been cancelled by Lambeth.

Brockwellparkcommunitypartners.org.uk state: "We regret to say that the 2015 Brockwell Dog Show has been cancelled by Lambeth Officers, citing a rival commercial event" 

That rival commercial event is Battersea Dogs and Cat's homes Muddy Dog assault course, that costs £32 for sporty dog owners to enter with their dog, with a £100 fund raising target. Whilst I think MuddyDog will generate profit for a worthy cause, its another example of our community eventsbeing sold off by Lambeth.

Held the week before the popular Lambeth Country show, the Dog show was also a kind of "thank you" for the disruption this event causes for about a fortnight to dog walkers that use the park every day. 

The question is WHY STOP A SUCCESSFUL, LOW IMPACT COMMUNITY EVENT THAT BENEFITS SOCIETY? There is simply no need to cancel the dog show, and it will not impact Muddy Dog in any way. 

PLEASE SIGN THIS PETITION TO ENCOURAGE LAMBETH TO REINSTATE THE CHARITABLE BROCKEWELL PARK DOG SHOW 2015
