Fundraising

g I N

In this newsletter we would normally be writing now about
the various events being organised around the country to
raise funds for GIN and to raise awareness of the plight of
the greyhounds and galgos.

We held a meeting earlier this year to discuss some new
events we hoped to attend and started to make some
enquiries. Sadly the coronavirus pandemic has meant that
many events have had to be postponed or cancelled.

At the time of writing this newsletter we cannot say if events planned for
later this year will be able to go ahead. We will continue to keep our
website, FB and Twitter pages up to date with any news of these.

One event I feel I must mention was to be held at Buscot Park, Oxford
on the 6th September. Buscot Park is a National Trust property but is
the home of Lord Faringdon. He had kindly asked us if we would like to
hold an event there on the closed weekend. We were thrilled to be asked
and had already started to make plans but at the moment I can only say
that the date is “pencilled” in. We hope the situation will be better for
all of us by September so please keep a lookout on our site and social
media for any news on this and other events we, and those who support
us, are able to organise.

We would like to thank all of our supporters who
regularly hold car boot sales, run stalls at events,
organise street and store collections, dog walks, talks,
empty collecting boxes etc. Many of you have told us
that your event has been cancelled. Hopefully once the
crisis is over we will all be able to organise events
again. Please let us know if/when this becomes
possible for you and let us have details and we will be
able to advertise these on our site.

Thank you
