Archie's Passport

We joined the National Trust earlier this year and as part of the membership package, we receive three National Trust magazines throughout the year. The assortment of articles they contain are interesting to read. 

In the magazine we received most recently,  we saw that there's a promotion running this autumn, right until the end of February, whereby you collect stamps in a Pooch Passport in order to receive treats. Now Archie would freely admit that he's a greedy dog so when I told him about this he was eager to pick up his own Pooch Passport and begin collecting.

We visited Beningbrough Hall in North Yorkshire on Saturday so this gave us the chance to acquire the passport and collect the first stamp. We need six in total for a free packet of natural dog treats and if we manage to collect twelve, Archie will get a free snood, how smart would he look in that.

The stamps have to be collected from different National Trust properties, I'm sure we'll manage six before the end of February but I'm not sure we'll have visited twelve individual properties in that time. I mentioned this to Archie and he told me he didn't mind, just so long as we get the treats!

  1. I've never heard of this, normally they do things for children, hope Archie gets his treats.

  7. Haha what a great idea no wonder Archie is in agreement. Beningbrough Hall is lovely we visited there last year and we've just been to Thorp Perrow, it's not a National Trust property but well worth a visit. x

  15. That is a great idea to encourage people to explore different NT places with their four legged friends. I hope Archie enjoys his treats and walks and you enjoy seeing more NT properties.
