Thank you to everyone who came along and joined us at KAR'S Christmas Bazaar yesterday at the Pia Bella Hotel in Girne. It was a lovely few hours and we hope you enjoyed it as much as we volunteers did.
Lots of laughs, happy and smiling faces and lots of lovely items bought.
The Raffle is being drawn on the 20th December so still time to buy some tickets to have a go at winning one of the gorgeous prizes.
Also a Christmas Dinner for the animals in the shelter can still be purchased from our Gladrags shop in Ozankoy. Opening hours 9.30am to 1.00pm Monday -Saturday.
Thank you all once again.

Can you offer some really recognisable building or sign to help point out the Ozankoy shop. I've lost count of the number of times I've left it too late and driven by, because the KAR sign is not really prominent. (or at least it hasn't been - it might have been erected now) Congrats on the Bazaar by the way.

Directly next to Capital Bank. Opposite the building site of the new Lords Palace Hotel.

But before you get to green building on right if coming from Girne direction

[bigbadbob]

Reply to Benhamin Button and thank you to others.
Coming from Girne on the coast road, past the row of shops on the right that Tim''s Cafe is one of, then just past Capital Bank Gladrags is there on the right next door to Beydola Estate Agents. If you get to Credit West bank on the ,left you will know you have passed it.
Coming from Catalkoy it is on the left hand side just before Capital Bank and past the University on the left with Credit West on the right.
Hope this helps.

A Bloody Mary isn't really a B.M. without the celery stick and celery is horrible here. I
