November 2016

AfG do not hold many awareness events throughout November due to the short days and problems with fireworks etc.
However we were still kept very busy with sales of our 2017 calendars ‘ Sighthound Survivors ‘ and sales of our exclusive Christmas cards and various sighthound knit wear.
Its lovely to receive photos from all over the country and overseas of the various sighthounds being kept cozy in the AfG knitwear.

 

AFG STALL YORKSHIRE WINTERFEST, LEEDS TOWN HALL 27.11.2016

Thank you to Rosemary who organized the AfG stall at this fantastic vegan festival. Lots of merchandise sold and a lot of interest in our campaign, with lots of our awareness leaflets taken.

The event had 3,500 members of the public attending, meaning more vital awareness raised to even more people.

 

AFG STALL HARFORD BRIDGES CAR BOOT SALE Nr NORWICH 27.11.2016

We managed to chose a lovely bright Autumn day for a stall at the only local car boot being held at this time of year, meaning it was heaving with customers. Our doggy knitwear proved very popular today, noticed by more people due to the fact our accompanying hounds were wearing jumpers and head gear.

So another opportunity to raise more vital awareness and funds.
