Non - Ped Whippet Racing.

What was a worrying week leading up to the rescheduled help 4 heroes open, was no need to have been at all. Although only half the amount of dog's we usually have, the support for this very worthy cause was unbelievable. Everyone enjoyed the fun and games, dog show and the excellent racing throughout the day. The penalty shoot out had a better atmosphere than the world cup! Lee had the unfortunate job as goalie and was brilliant at it. Men's winner was Pete Sunderland, women's was won by Denise Brunt. Younger ones had a go as well, Sam won the lad's and Ellie the lasses, well done to you all, great entertainment. Les judged the dog show, held in the break. Puppy winner was Kev's Lucky (Never say Never x Pipistrelle). Adult's, Sadie's Divalicious (Just Friends x Acca) and vet's was won by Sharon's 8y.o. Umbro (Striesand x Elbon Sue). All winner's received a bag of goodies and their owner's a box of chocs, well done everyone. Now onto lot's of thank you's. To people that hadn't got a dog running but came to show their spport.
