Christmas Greyhound Playgroup
28/11/2010
Newhall Equestrian Centre
Newhall Equestrian Yard, near the Killerton Estate, Broadclyst, Devon, EX5 3LW. Well-signposted and easy to reach from junction 28 or 29 of the M5
Come and watch as your greyhound lets off steam at a new playgroup to be held in the main indoor arena at this superb horse farm between Broadclyst and Cullompton. For safety, this is restricted to greyhounds and large sighthound crosses in small groups, and other breeds only if belonging to greyhound-families. Muzzles are essential and can be bought at the event or hired for small donation. Newly-adopted dogs and dogs that do not normally get the opportunity to run free are particularly welcome. Bring your cameras and camcorders, because if you have never experienced your greyhound running free you may well be reduced to tears! Have a catch up with old friends, and enjoy the company of like minded people.
Light refreshments available, £3.00 per dog payable on the door. Greyhound merchandise including collars, coats, tassels &, muzzles will be on sale. Convenient parking.
This is really fun event for both hounds and owners, but there are some potential risks associated with multiple dogs running at high speed, so all attendees must have read, and fully understood our safety rules sheet before entry. All dogs must be booked in prior to the event and a booking form completed and returned to me by Sunday 21st November.
As well as being great fun for the dogs and a nice social evening for you owners this will be the perfect opportunity for you to buy your Christmas cards and warm winter coats and snoods for your shivering skinnies! As this is a festive playgroup there will also be plenty of mulled wine and mince pies.
Looking forward to seeing you there!

Dinmore Woods Dog Walk
19/12/2010
Dinmore Hill, Leominster
Queenswood Arboretum is always a popular venue, so with Santa hats and tinsle at the ready why not start the festive season with a walk around these lovely woods. We'll meet at 10.30 for a prompt 11.00am start, walks are easy and take about 40 minutes.
All dogs are welcome and this is a great opportunity for your dog to meet other hounds if they don't normally get the chance.
After join us at the cafe for a 'get together' and a Christmassy themed raffle. It has to be said that the cafe does a really good breakfast if you would like to treat yourself first or for brunch after, but this time don't do both, remember Christmas is just around the corner!!
£1.00 per family donation
Easy to find :
A49, Dinmore Hill, Near Leominster, Hereford. Plenty of free parking.
