What a great weekend for this new group to hold their first greyhound awareness event.

As part of the campaign’s National Greyhound Remembrance Weekend, the groups coordinator Lynsey, planned the protest with the help of some very keen supporters.

This William Hill owned track is long overdue for this vital awareness to be brought to the attention of racegoers, who would otherwise be uneducated of the plight of the greyhounds. Also very encouraging to see these lovely children, keen to give their support and add their voices to help the greyhounds. Great to see ‘the next generation’ getting so involved with the campaign.

The group will be planning regular protests at this track as well as the 2 other tracks near the area, William Hill owned Sunderland track and Pelew Grange and in the foreseeable future they are hoping to hold other general public awareness/education events in and around the Newcastle area.
