Gone to the Dogs!
January 20th 2001

It has been a while since the club has been away and we decided that we would like something that was fun and within reasonable distance.

Stuart Holt had spoken to the Club about his work for the Meningitis Trust when he gave a talk about his climb of Mount Kilimanjaro after he had recovered from the condition. Stuart had explained that he was organising an event at the Hove Greyhound Racing track on January 20th so we booked a Saturday night stop at the Brighton Travelodge and booked tables for Dinner at the meeting.

We had an excellent view and were well looked after by waitresses who served the food and drinks and also took our bets. Dick had looked at the form and made the selections shown here beside the actual results. No-one made a fortune but we all had a lot of fun.

It was a cold clear night and we had a good view of the dogs as they were paraded and put into the traps
