PETERBOROUGH GREYHOUND TRACK 18.02.2012
12 dedicated greyhound protection campaigners held a peaceful protest outside this track.
It seemed a fairly quiet night judging by the car park not looking very full and ONLY 1 half empty coach going in……so a much lower attendance compared to our last protest in January.
Judging by the amount of leaflets being taken by motorists driving into the track and the amount who were slowing down to read the banners, it would suggest that many of them are not regular race-goers and were probably just being enticed in by the special offers the stadium had this evening.
We can only hope many of them will take note of the protest and the leaflets and will not be returning.
Anyone wishing to support the track protests at Peterborough please contact Rose Greyhound Action in Peterborough (G.A.I.P) on 07884163205.

19.12.2011 ROSEMARY AT FARGATE ( Sheffield City Centre )
Thank you once again to Rosemary for all the valued support you give to AFG.
Another very successfull awareness event, although too damp and cold for Rosemary’s gorgeous greyhound, Sean, to accompany her. Rosemary says she doesnt mind a bit of cold and disscomfort if it means she is helping greyhounds.
Many leaflets were distributed, dozens of petitition forms signed and many generous donations from the supportive public. Rosemary managed to have some help from another supporter on the day this time.

Peterborough Demo – 10.12.2011
8 campaigners held a successful protest outside Peterborough greyhound stadium this evening.
Many leaflets were given to punters entering the stadium by car and on foot.
It seemed as if the attendances were low … as there didn’t seem to be a constant stream of traffic.
Lots of “hoots of support” from passing motorists.
The group hold protests outside this track about once a month throughout the year, and when not outside Peterborough track, they are at Henlow track on Saturday evenings…doing a fantastic job, raising much needed awareness to people who still dont realise what they are supporting.
ROSEMARY’S AFG AWARENESS EVENT – BARKERS POOL, SHEFFIELD 21.11.2011
Not content with her event on Saturday, Rosemary returns on Monday to Sheffield centre. Too cold for Sean today.
Rosemary managed to get many of the petitions signed and now even more people are aware of the Irish racing industry’s involvement in wanting to introduce, and promote, greyhound racing in China.
Thank you Rosemary for your dedication to the campaign.
As you can see Rosemary would appreciate some support, as all 3 events she has done alone.
So anyone living in, or near, Sheffield who can spare a little time to help her, please contact AFG and we will put you in touch with her.
ROSEMARY AND SEAN – PETS AT HOME SHEFFIELD 19.11.2011
Many thanks to Rosemary and her gorgeous rescued, unwanted racing greyhound Sean for doing such a great fundraising event today.
Of course it was Sean who was the centre of attention, and it’s obvious why.
Thank you to the support of the store manager and staff.
Rosemary is a new AFG supporter and this is her 2nd AFG event this year.
She says she was very encouraged and overwhelmed by the support of the public today.
AS THE ANTI CAPITALIST CAMPAIGNERS OCCUPY NORWICH SO DO ACTION FOR GREYHOUNDS…
With 3 events in the city centre on Thursday October 27th.
Once again a massive thank you to Lush Store Norwich – to both Management and staff for their great support today.
Not only asking customers to make, and decorate, bath bombs to take home for a £2.00 donation to the in store AFG collection, but also for selling lots of their charity pots of luscious body lotion, with all proceeds donated to AFG and buyers receiving a fabulous free goody bag crammed with wonderful, natural cosmetics which are not tested on animals.
Many of AFG and Lush’s own anti-racing leaflets were distributed to customers, and our hounds were very welcome in the store
It’s exactly 1 year since our last Lush event which was part of their national campaign promoting other greyhound protection campaigners in their 49 stores across the U.K

Thank you to our supporters who make items for us to sell and others who donate good quality items to raise much needed funds.
Already our exclusive Christmas cards are proving very popular.
