EGLR's 11th annual draw took place on the 24^th October at our coffee and cake morning. Prize winners will be contacted as soon as possible. This years draw raised over £1700 for the dogs in our care and the coffee morning raised a further £100 so a huge thank you to everyone who bought tickets, baked cake and joined us for a cuppa.

This is Zoe our youngest EGLR volunteer collecting a cheque from Lynda, who along with her husband and friends managed to raise just over £500 at their local village fete selling home made jams and lots of brick a brac. we would like to say a huge thank you to them, and every one who brought goods from their stall, for raising this wonderful amount which will make a fantastic difference to the dogs in our care.

We would like to say a HUGE thank you to Stewart and the team at Blush nightclub in Cheltenham for their fantastic efforts. They managed to raise a whoping £300 in 1 night with their fundraiser.

There was a wheel of fortune where 3 lucky winners won either a bottle of Dom Perignon, a £25 bar tab and tickets to Cheltenham's very own 'Bloom' Festival.

The DJ for the night gave half of his wages to the cause, and they even invited the EGLR team (although now they are wondering why!!) You can see all of the pictures on the Evesham Greyhound and Lurcher Rescue Facebook page

Here is a message from our youngest EGLR volunteer. Zoe is 10 years old and comes along to EGLR HQ with her mum every week where she helps with all of the dogs. As well as being a HUGE help at HQ she is always happy to help her Mum with their EGLR foster dogs.

We would like to say a HUGE thank you to Di & Raymond Smitt, Valerie Sedgwick, Martin Blakeman & Jasmine Armitage who walked an increadible 104 miles from Bath to Chipping Campden to raise funds to help us.

We were absolutely stunned when they handed over a cheque for a massive £1527. (Wow I hear you say - so did we!!) Thank you all so much for this massive effort - we really can't thank you guys enough!

So, this is a test...

I wonder if people will go for this idea?

Vote in 'Your Say', if you will...

Sorry, we are working hard to find how to make it work correctly in Internet Explorer 8 ...

Do you find the YouTube video 'faster' that the qbplay one - we may investigate putting the vids onto YouTube, and just linking to them...

Thanks to Linda H for providing this information:

Just a quick one to let you know that the month has now come and gone at Waitrose. A donation of £211 will be winging its way towards Pip sometime soon - which is good news, especially as it comes quite separately to those from the lovely folks who dig into their own pockets. It's also good that there's now a big display at the front of Waitrose that shows which charities the Malvern branch has already supported. So ELGR will have a permanent spot up there soon too, and anyone perusing the donations will see the name of the charity!

Great news, and just in time for Ariel's and the other dogs needs too.

3 months ago Pip received a phone call to see if we could take in a little girl with a broken leg.

Now with a lot of tender loving care she is ready to go to a forever home.

Read about Ariel - she needs your help.
