Kennels Located At Hainford, A140. Open Saturdays 11am-2.30pm otherwise by appointment
A Note From The Editor… Sitting here at my computer in November I’m finding it difficult to believe that we are very quickly heading for Christmas! The year has continued well for us and we’ve homed well over 100 dogs. Throughout the year we have been out and about at various events and it’s always nice to meet up with our greyhounds and their new owners. The open days at the kennels have been a huge success and something that we will be continuing throughout next year, including the dog show. If anyone is interested in helping on a stall, running their own stall or has any suggestions for other fund raising events please get in touch with David on 0845 458 3797 As usual there are many people that I would like to thank, so, on behalf of Homefinders, thank you to everyone who has worked so hard in fundraising at the kennels, at events and at the stadium. Also to everyone who had donated gifts and money to the dogs and to everyone who supports and helps us throughout the year.Your continued support is very much appreciated by all of us and, of course, the dogs.
On October 1st I had a very packed house when I had a Body Shop At Home party. 15% of all sales were donated to Homefinders and a raffle was held. In total we made £119! All of the ladies present had a very enjoyable evening and were able to sample the products before buying. Martin was kept busy supplying everyone with coffee and cake. Even the dogs joined in the fun!

The kennels are open every Saturday from 11am until 2.30pm and visitors are very welcome to come along, especially if you are accompanied by your greyhound! We love to see the dogs looking so happy and contented with their new owners. At Christmas time we like to give the dogs still in kennels an extra treat or two. If you would like to make a donation please send a cheque, payable to Yarmouth Greyhound Homefinders, to: Mrs Lynda Eden, 20, Bernard Road, Cromer, Norfolk, NR27 9AW. Or come along to the kennels on a Saturday with your gifts. If you would like to help out in any way, either at the kennels or at the stadium please contact David on 0845 458 3797.
It was decided that the money would be used to buy food, toys and equipment for the kennels. Many thanks to everyone who came along. If anyone would like to book a party to raise funds for Homefinders please contact Chris Harrington on 01603 260525. Every party booked will earn us another £5 plus 15% commission on sales. Please mention Lynda from the Greyhound Charity.
Wishing you and your dogs a very Happy Christmas and best wishes for 2010. Lynda Lynda_eden@hotmail.com Mrs Lynda Eden, 20 Bernard Road, Cromer, Norfolk, NR27 9AW.
