Hello,
Sunday 21st June sees the return of the Great British Greyhound Walk, an annual dog-walking event that brings together greyhounds, lurchers, other sighthounds and their owners to raise awareness of the breeds and show the public just what wonderful pets they make.
To ‘make a day of it’ the walks are often followed by a social or fundraising event: picnics, BBQ’s, mini dog shows, awareness stalls etc. which helps promote the hounds even more and hopefully raise some much needed funds to help those still waiting for homes. Some walks just stop for a chat and cuppa or take a visit to the local.
I have had a look online and the walk which is closest to us is being held at Belhus Woods Country Park, Romford Road. It would be great if a crowd of us could get together and attend to be part of this walk
Walk starts at 10am meeting at the Cafe, parking is £2.50 for the whole day.
The GBGW has lots more info online at www.greatbritishgreyhoundwalk.org.uk with a shop and Bandana Competition if you would like to get involved.
Hope you can make it! Lurch and Jet will be there not sure how 'blinged up' their bandanas will be but will give it a go!
