A Note From The Editor: Thank you to those of you who responded to the “newsletter by email” appeal. At present the list isn’t a very long one but hopefully it will grow! Also a big thanks to our supporters who sent books of stamps to me. We post out over 500 copies of this newsletter so, as you can imagine, your help in reducing our costs certainly helps in a very big way.
Thanks go to Jennie and Terry who, along with Jake and Lucy, raised £216.20 at a recent tractor run.
Please, if you have not already done so, consider receiving future copies by email or donating a book (or two!) of 2nd class stamps. Email me at @hotmail.com or donate your stamps to: Mrs Lynda Eden, 20, Bernard Road, Cromer, Norfolk, NR27 9AW. Our first Open Day, in March, was a great success raising £1000.Yet again the sun shone for us and from 11 o’clock onwards we did a roaring trade and all of the greyhounds in the kennels enjoyed their extra walks, treats and cuddles. Our next Open Day will be on Sunday June 24th. This will include the greyhound show, with a twist! Cream teas will be on sale and various stalls and games. So please come along, join in the fun and meet other like-minded people! At the same time you will be raising much-needed funds to help to care for the greyhounds during their stay with us until they find the forever homes. On Sunday 19th August the kennels will be holding another Open Day. As in previous years we will be holding our charity auction. The lots will be mainly greyhound related items including a wonderful painting by the very talented artist Susan Dodgson. This truly is a very special item so be prepared for some hectic bidding! Many thanks Susan for your very generous donation.
Marley, Seth, Patch, Rowdy (and Cuddles) working hard at Fakenham races. They raised £164 on a very wet and muddy day!
If you have any ideas for fund-raising, or if you would like to help in any way please phone 0845 458 3797 Help at the stadium is always very much appreciated and an enjoyable way of raising funds.Your dog will get lots of fuss and attention and at the same time be raising money to help with the care of the dogs still at our kennels waiting for their forever homes.
