Hi all, I've Copied this from the rgt suffolk forum and wondered if everyone wanted to take part???

Be a part of the 2010 Great British Greyhound Walk!
What is the Great British Greyhound Walk all about?
It is an opportunity for owners around Britain to come together at simultaneous walks to celebrate retired racing greyhounds and raise awareness of their suitability as pets at a linked social event that could be developed in a number of ways.
• The start of a new social walking and owner support group.
• Part of a bigger fundraising day
• As a PR event to promote the homing of greyhounds
• Or just remain as a one-off event for a group of owners, large or small
When is it?
10am Sunday 20th June 2010
Where is it?
At as many locations as possible throughout Britain. This is where existing greyhound walking groups, Kennels, homing organisations and / or individuals can join in and run a walk as part of the GBGW.
How do we get involved?
If you already run greyhound walks and would like to have a walk as part of the GBGW then simply and we’ll let you know what information we need to register your walk with us.

Sorry if it doesn't come out right, I'm copying the text via my phone, if it doesn't it is an active topic on there forum. Thought this could be a nice way of raising money ( just a suggestion :-) )
