For our existing group of greyhound homers, it is a fine time for socialising – the GTWY stall makes a grand meet-up point.
And it’s a terrific opportunity for anyone thinking of homing a greyhound to come along and enjoy some greyhound company; and to chat to some friendly greyhound owners.

And come along to talk ‘greyhound’, with the added bonus of sampling all of the lovely things on offer at the market!
