IT’S A DOG’S LIFE MARATHON FUNDRAISING EFFORT
Dogged runners from Thursfields Solicitors have raised £860 for Birmingham Dogs Home by running the Solihull Half Marathon. The team persevered through the heat to beat their original target of £130 by miles.
Senior associate Simon Hocking said: “It was great to be part of the Thursfields team running to support Birmingham Dogs Home. The support from the crowd and marshalls was amazing, as was the generosity of those who sponsored us.”
In thanks for the donation, staff at Birmingham Dogs Home allowed the runners to name one of their latest arrivals (pictured), who is now known as ‘Thursfields Theo’, or Theo for short.
Nick O’Hara, chairman of Thursfields Solicitors, said: “Our staff take great pleasure in choosing and serving local charities every year. We are committed to the communities in which we live and work and as well as fund raising, we regularly provide volunteers to help on projects at our chosen charities.

THE MAGIC OF SCIENCE WEEK OF FAMILY FUN
Families can discover the Magic of Science at the British Motor Museum this half term from October 22 - 30. Children can get up close to one of the Ford Anglias which starred in the film Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets and then join the mad scientists for some magical, mind-blowing experiments, extraordinary family tours plus make an optical illusion to take home.
The Black Cat Trail takes place every day when children can search around the museum for the hidden black cats and, with a torch, discover the colour of each cat's eyes!
The Extraordinary Family Tour runs from October 22-24 and 28-30 when children can join Professor Pickle or Doctor Pumpkin for an interactive family tour, exploring and seeking out the extraordinary in the collection.
The Magic of Science Show takes place from October 25-27 with the mad
scientists performing some mind-blowing experiments in the not-so-secret lab. The Professor is stuck in the past and thinks a car is a horse-drawn carriage however Dr Pumpkin will bring him back to the present in a 20-minute show which explores the amazing invention of the car.
Children can also make their own Thaumatrope - an optical toy which was very popular in Victorian times. They can draw it, cut it out, colour it in, paint it and even add glitter.
