Further to the online dog show thread - linky below for those who may have missed it - this is something which you might want to incorporate into your busy social schedule Casual, relaxed, fun and fantastic company; I can say with certainty that this will be a very enjoyable and memorable day

Sunday 15th August – The GGGG (Great Grimston Greyhound Gathering! )
As rosettes will be awarded 1st – 3rd place (c/o Leicslass) and bespoke dog muffins (c/o Hilton) for the winner in each class, I thought it would be nice to have a proper presentation and make an event of it. As if White Lodgers need an excuse for a get together! ;D
My lovely neighbours, Hilary and John, have very kindly offered the use of their field for this but we can adjourn to the village hall if the weather is poor.
There are limitless fantastic walk opportunities hereabouts both on and off-lead; everyone is free to do as they wish but just to give the day some sort of structure, here’s the suggested plan:
Rendezvous 11.15
Set off for a walk at 11.30
Lunch - bring your own food, picnic or disposable BBQ, and eat at whatever time you like
Presentation of prizes will commence at 2pm
Raffle to be drawn after that
Another walk if anyone fancies it!
Aside from the beautiful rosettes and muffins, we’ve also received generous donations of some other really decent prizes (some doggie, some human, some both) and I’ll post details of those in the individual class threads soon.
If anyone would like to camp overnight before, during or after, that’s fine and there’s plenty of room for vans and tents. No “facilities” but the pub is only 50 yards down the road and hounds are welcome (probably worth mentioning that the publican’s own dog is snack-sized and furry )
Feel free to join in at any point, whether it’s for the whole day or just to pop along for half an hour or so, share food with friends and say hello.
