4th Anniversary Charity Night

Even though the weather was a bit cold, people turned out in their hundreds to Central Park to support us. The evening consisted of the whippets, Afghan hounds and Greyhounds. Homer also made an appearance and was our guest at starting the fun race.

The Honeyhills Pedigree Whippet Racing Club put on a great exhibition race for us, this was a first time at Central Park for them and they did not dissapoint. A big Thank you to Roger Nind and the club.

The South East Afghan Racing Club put on an entertaining race too, the Afghan hounds certainly looked as if they enjoyed it. A big Thank you to Maria and the Club for supporting us again on our Charity night.

For the fun race, this year it was bright and colourfull with six volunteers all going back to the 70s with big hair and flares. The fancy dress costumes were kindley donated by Aladdins Fancy Dress Hire in Ashford, so a Big Thank you to them.  We decided to let the volunteers ride “Segways” around the track and for those of you who do not know what they are it is the two wheeled electric transporters. With a big THANK YOU to Nick Thurston of Southern Segway for letting us use them and there was even the opportunity to ride one for a donation to the RGT.

Although the event did run slightly late everyone seemed to have enjoyed themselves and in doing so raised £3,828.79 So well done to all of you.
