Well after a great
start to the year which has seen 20 Greyhounds
go home, including two that have gone to
Denmark, things have gone a little quieter. We
had a great response to the annual Quiz Night
which raised around £800 on tickets and the
raffle. Well done to the winners and
commiserations to those who didn't make it to
the winners podium.
Some of you may
have noticed that we have a date for another of
our annual events, our Retired Greyhound Show
that is part of the North Stifford Village Show.
That's on the Saturday the 16th of June, so
please make a note in your diary it's a great
bit of fun for the day. For more information
click here.
There are a number
of fundraising activities in February, we're
running two Tescos Meet & Greets, on the 8th &
9th we're at 300 Hornchurch Road, and on the
15th & 16th we're at their store on the
Mayflower Retail Park, Basildon, just off the
A127. February will also see the first of a
series of Paws in the Park events arranged by
the London Borough of Barking & Dagenham. This
first Paws in the Park event is on the 17th of
February and runs from 10:30am to 12:30pm. We
look forward to seeing you at one or more of
these events! |

Welcome to 2012!
We hope you had a great Christmas and that 2012
will be a happy and prosperous year for you!
Despite the
economic climate we managed to home 179 dogs in
2011 a big thank you to all who helped us reach
this tremendous total. Let's hope 2012 proves to
be at least as successful.
During 2012 we
will be attending all the usual events and maybe
some new ones, we already have a number of
Tescos Meet & Greets booked, and it would be
great if any of you could attend any of these
events with your dog(s). In June we'll be
running our annual Retired Greyhound Show as
usual as part of the Stifford Village Show, and
we'll be at events such as the Essex County
Show. So here's to a great 2012, the UKs Olympic
year... |
