A Day At The Races!

Easter Sunday, April 17th.

Some good friends of Lurcher Link are running a fundraising day at Askern Greyhound Stadium. All profits will come to the rescue and there will be rosettes and trophies on the day, for racing and hopefully for a show, too.

We’re currently seeking people to sponsor or donate trophies for the competitive races – one for each distance, perhaps a memorial trophy for a dog you’ve lost and want to commemorate.

We’re also looking for raffle prizes.

If anyone would like to bring a stall, with a donation to Lurcher Link, please do.

Distances will be 100, 225, 425 and 600. Enter on the Day.

Nb these are competitive races, no solo runs etc

Muzzles must be worn.

£3 entrance fee, children free, then £2 per dog per race.

Booking in from 10am

Put it in your diary, we’d love to see you!

Contact Deb Storey for more information!

Come and join in the Great Global Greyhound Walk at the Yorkshire Sculpture Park on Sunday 14th June. Non-Greys also welcome and it’s a fund raiser for Lurcher Link too :)

Sadly we have to cancel the Lurcher Link annual show in Brighouse on May 17th due to the restrictions on public gatherings because of the Corvid 19 outbreak.

Keep safe folks.

Santa Paws Walk & Christmas Shoebox Appeal 2019

Santa Paws is coming to town…

On Sunday 8th December we are hosting our third Sighthound Social Club Santa Paws Walk at Yorkshire Sculpture Park. Last year, we had 92 hounds in attendance, all dressed up in their Christmas finery.

Christmas Shoebox Appeal

Last year’s response to our Christmas Shoebox Appeal was amazing and we were overwhelmed by your generosity with over 200 shoeboxes, not to mention the dog food, beds, duvets and collars. As a result, we were able to give a shoebox to each of the hounds in our chosen charities and rescues.

What can I put in the shoebox?

If you would like to support the hounds in kennels waiting for their forever homes with a Christmas shoebox this year, they would love tins of fish (mackerel, sardines or pilchards), treats, strong toys, snoods, collars or dog blankets and coats (new or preloved).

Shoebox Rescues and Charities

Here are some of the organisations we are supporting this year with our Christmas Shoebox Appeal:

RSPCA York
Blue Cross Thirsk
Lurcher Link
GRSY – Greyhound Rescue South Yorkshire
Fen Bank Greyhound Sanctuary
Jerry Green
Greyhound Trust – Hall Green and Solihull
Dogs Trust Kenilworth
Bark Inn Greyhound Kennels
Greyhound Gap
Linbee Dog Rehoming

Shoebox collection points

Shoeboxes can be dropped off at the Team Pointy walks in York in November and December and at the Santa Paws walk itself. You can also drop them off at the Treats2Sit4 shop:
4 Chapel Street
Ryhill
Wakefield
WF4 2AD

Raising money for Hounds First in 2019

In 2019 Sighthound Social Club has been supporting the Yorkshire-based charity, Hounds First, who support all breeds of sighthound needing homes across the UK. For this walk, we have arranged a reduced parking charge with YSP. We are asking for £5.00 per car which includes the reduced £3 all day parking charge for YSP and a £2 donation to Hounds First.

More info

The full details of the walk are in our Events section. Please look on Facebook and Twitter or send us a message if you have any questions.
Please note, this event is organised by Sighthound Social Club. Please DO NOT contact the Yorkshire Sculpture Park for further information about the event.

We look forward to seeing you and your hounds there!

Please DO go along if you can as it's a lovely walk, and good to meet up with other loopy Lurchers - dressing up is optional, but encouraged 🎅🦌🐾🐧 - and it's for as good cause

Lurcher Link will be having a stall here - please come along and say hi :)
