A Note From The Editor
What A Great Time We Had
As usual I want to say a great big thank you to all of our volunteers and helpers. I would like to say a personal thank you to each and every one of you for all of your help. Be it at the stadium, the kennels, at events or fundraising you are very much appreciated. Thank you for all that you do to help.
From Yvonne and Mike..
Please contact David on 0845 458 3797 to help at the kennels or fund raising in the North Norfolk area. Please phone Brenda on 01493 857400 to help at the stadium or fund raising in the Great Yarmouth area. The sponsorship scheme continues to do well. Thank you to everyone who has sponsored Shelley or has sent a donation. Yet again I have received stories, emails and photos of your greyhounds. It is lovely to see them so settled. I realise that sometimes things don’t go smoothly at first but thank you for not giving up on them. It really is worth the hard work and perseverance to see the happy and contented pet that they soon become.

At this time it is not possible for us to have a greyhound. Mike and I live in a small bungalow with our ten year old lurcher, Alfie, who has a spinal cord problem but still thinks he’s a two year old! We also have two young Siamese house cats. Therefore I decided to try my hand at fund raising for Homefinders. The only way I could think of was to hold a coffee morning, just coffee and biscuits. That was until I told my friend Pam and it was at that point that things started to snowball! There were books, bric-a-brac, plants, raffle, guess the number of biscuits in a jar, guess the name of the toy monkey and beautiful handmade cards. Then the big day arrived, May 10th. We planned to start at 10 am but just to make the day more interesting I had to make two unexpected visits to the vets before we started! Anyway, the weather was perfect and the people were lovely, friendly and generous. It was more like a garden party due to the beautiful sunshine. We charged £1 for coffee and biscuits and when we counted the takings Mike and I were delighted to find that we had taken £240! I would like to say a very big thank you to all of the helpers and to Jill who made the cards. Without them it would not have been possible. Thank you to Yvonne, Mike and the helpers from all of us at Homefinders. It sounds as if you all had a lovely day and you raised a fantastic amount of money.
Greyhound coats and dog food are available for sale at the kennels. Please phone David for more details. 0845 458 3797
