RGT Greyhound Support - Medway

A Snowy Sponsored Walk - April 2008

Once again Bill and Lindsay saved the day with their gazebo and help. To Lynn Munday who back up the walk by bringing the animal ambulance (in case of heat stroke) I am also indebted to Fred and Maggie, Ann and Bob, Terry who took the photo's and all the supporters of RGT Medway, who despite the snow and the cold help to put up the gazebo's and make the walk a success!

Thank you all!

In spite of the weather it was an impressive turn out with owners coming from as far a field as Haywards Heath and Brighton! There were about 65 people and 55 dogs!

I had a number of phone calls from those unable to make the walk and they will be sending on donations.

On the day we collected £425 and with sponsorship still to come in we should reach over £750! The proceeds of which will go to RGT Croftview and Sittingbourne RGT.

He above miss heard me, I requested nice weather so that the day would flow but he had not got his hearing aid turned up so for nice read ice and for flow read snow!

Take Care All

The next sponsored walk will be held on Sunday 7th September 2008, the proceeds of which will go to RGT National and Pets As Therapy.

There will be a monthly dog walk for greyhounds and PAT dogs the first Sunday of each month at the Riverside Country Park, Rainham, Kent. Start time 10.30 am and the meeting point is the cafe. The walk is organised by John Homer (PAT dog co-ordinator for the Medway area.) and its aim is to offer support and advice to new owners who are in the early stages of socialising their dogs. It is a chance to meet like minded greyhound owners, swop stories and advice and also an opportunity for your greyhound to catch up with others of its kind.
