Take your retired greyhound on parade at Kingston Rugby Football Club this Saturday 26 April

Kingston Rugby Football Club are holding the Frank Walsh memorial rugby match this Saturday (26 April) at 3pm. It is a charity match, and a percentage of funds raised will go to Wimbledon Greyhound Welfare (WGW) at Hersham.

Before the game there will be a parade of retired greyhounds. It is a good opportunity both to raise the profile of retired greyhounds, and to raise funds for the homeless hounds at Hersham. If you have a retired greyhound it would be great to see you and your dog on Saturday.

The parade will take place at 2:30, before the rugby match. Please aim to be at the ground between 1:30pm and 2pm.

The address of Kingston Rugby football club is:
King Edward Recreation Ground
Hook Road
Chessington
Surrey KT9 1PL
If you would like to take a hound from Hersham along to the parade then please ring the Kennels on 01932 224918 (regular walkers or greyhound owners only). The Kennels would allocate you a hound that you could pick up at 1pm, and return as soon as you can after the parade.

We hope to see you there: if you can't make it we will post some photos on the blog next week.
