Event News:
We have had a few exciting weeks with the greyhounds and lots of different events for the them to enjoy too!
Our summer fair was a huge success and we are still talking about the lovely weekend we had, sharing it with all our wonderful volunteers and supporters.
During July we had a little bit of a rest, whilst still enjoying our time spent at The Bourne Show in Farnham. The kennel dogs were all on their very best behaviour of course and although a long day, a lot of fun was had too!
On Friday 4th August we sponsored an event held at Parklife Cafe, for the local families to enjoy. It was Parklife’s Bubble Day!
A very exciting day for both children and of course the big kids too (us adults)! Lots of fun was held at this event and free greyhound cuddles were of course available too, with lots of our greyhound friends and kennel ones all joining this fun day!
The beginning of August we shared a lovely day, despite the weather being miserably and wet with Morrisons, in Southwood, Farnborough. The local folk were very keen to see us and our beautiful greyhounds, the team had a fantastic day and raised a huge £538.44 just from ONE day outside their store!
Morrisons, in Southwood and in Fleet both have collection bins for us and we are frequently emptying all the lovely goods for our kennel greyhounds to enjoy. Thank you to Morrisons and their customers, we are very grateful for your kindness.
We still have lots more events to enjoy throughout the summer, come along and join us, help us raise the profile of greyhounds making fantastic pets with the public and of course enjoy those wonderful greyhound cuddles too!
All events are listed below, we hope to see you at some of them.
