The diversity of the proposed forms of recreation is so large that it is worth considering the possibility of unusual to spend your free time. Most meetings take place in the summer, but the desire to meet people with similar passions makes people want to integrate the whole year.
Scottish dressing
The idea to organize a meeting usually has its origin on the Internet. Forum discussions, exchange of emails, photos, chat in chat rooms - it's no longer enough. The most important after a dog - a real, not virtual. Someone throws a password, someone else podchwyci initiative and it turns out that there is no possibility of retreat. Willing to meet arrives every day.
Justin Zakrzewska is a happy owner of a two sheepdogs Scottish collie - Malibu and Sake. Dogs of this breed has grown from twenty years old and is in love with them to the hilt .
- I love spending free time with them - he says - but after all, the greatest joy is when you can share it with someone. Who better to understand the collie lover than another enthusiast of the breed ? That's why together with a colleague decided to organize in February of this year I Torun Meeting Lovers Collie Rough and Smooth. Another is in vacation.
It would seem that the winter weather is not tuned for trips in Poland. Nothing could be further from the truth. In podtorunskim farm collie owners showed up in large numbers. Game started on the whole. First held a contest that does not require physical fitness - for the best Scottish disguise, both caregivers and their dogs. Great admiration participants raised a family, who dressed in skirts and berets in a traditional grid. Psiakom also imposed kilts .
- Some people do not put a costume, I was a little ashamed and afraid that they will be the only ones dressed up people - says Justin - but seeing this family, agreed that the next meeting everyone needs to change. Certainly fun will then still more joyful .
During the event there were numerous sports. Children running around, running around adults, and dogs with delight themselves did not know what to do with themselves - such a long time did not have fun. Then tired caregivers with the dogs sat by the fire. Thanks baked kielbaskom, the warm bigosowi and pajdom bread with lard and cucumbers February's cold was not at all noticeable. Nice conversation and cheerful mood meant that despite such a short time between collie lovers formed the true friendships.

At this year's reunion, like every year there will not be any competition for the longest canine torso. Organizer shyly dreaming about trying an entry in the Guinness Book of Records. This can be difficult, because in order to achieve a record, you have to set all the dogs one by one, and then watch to be not move, and accurately measure the " common body ". Not feasible ?
