You are amazing. You are wonderful, kind, generous and caring, and you are prepared to come out and support us whatever the weather. Last Sunday saw our most successful EVER ‘Switch On The Christmas Lights’ event – here at our kennels. The weather forecast had been awful, but we escaped lightly. Not only did you venture out to see us, you brought along your hounds and stayed to join in our celebrations. We had the most wonderful afternoon and everyone commented on what a sociable event it was (nothing to do with the vast quantities of Pimms and Mulled Wine which were consumed then?)

Our thanks go to you all for not only being there, but for bringing such a variety of gifts for us and our hounds. Our thanks go to our staff and volunteers who worked so incredibly hard to prepare for the event, and to those who manned our stalls on the day and helped with the clearing up.

The tribute tree was a resounding success, and Dot took time out on Monday afternoon to hang all the baubles, now dry, on our Christmas tree. I have to say they look lovely, and we cannot resist looking at them and reading the names every time we pass by. What memories they stir.

At the end of the day we had raised an amazing £1200 on our stalls, and taken a further £860 in the shop. Donations on the day amounted to £250. At this time of the year, when we batten down the hatches in preparation for the winter ahead, these extra funds are so very much appreciated to help cover the additional running costs of our kennels. Your generosity means that we can look forward to giving the greyhounds in our care a wonderful Christmas, and keep them safe and warm until spring arrives.


Wishing you all a most wonderful Christmas,


Denise and everyone at WGW.
