Dear Friends We hope that you enjoy reading this newsletter which will bring you up to date with our work over the last six months. We have many events planned this year thanks to supporters around the country who regularly, whatever the weather, give up their weekends to run tables and stands to raise funds for GIN. We would like to thank you all now for the great support you give to us.   Full details of the events are shown on pages 17-19. Thank you to everyone who helped raise £542 for Christmas treats for the greyhounds and galgos both here and abroad – they were  very much      appreciated ! We continue to raise funds by recycling ink cartridges and mobile phones.  We have lots of envelopes at HQ plus some display boxes if you need one for your place of work/local shop – please call us on 01784 483206 and we can get these in the post to you. Our current group of quarantine galgos all have homes waiting for them on 30^th April.   Release Day is a very special, emotional day and it is nice that each time more and more people come along, often with their own dogs,  to see the galgos come out of the kennels and leave with their families to start a new life.  The next group will be arriving in May – their photos and details can be found at the back of the newsletter.   If you are in the Bournemouth area on 5th June please pop along to the GIN shop where Sue and Penny will be holding their 10 year Celebration Fair and BBQ – more details on pages 14 and 15.                                                                                                         Carolyn       4
