  5. The success of Sighthound Welfare Trust’s latest galgo coat appeal means Sighthound Welfare Trust has helped keep galgos in Spain warm this winter. SWT launched an appeal for funds in mid October and in just two and a half weeks that the appeal ran the charity collected over £550. This enabled us to sponsor 144 coats through a project run in the Netherlands by Elsbeth Endel. This follows the 165 coats that the charity sponsored in February, meaning over 300 coats have been funded by Sighthound Welfare Trust during this year. Elspeth Endel said “I am absolutely speechless and so touched by the generous donation that Sighthound Welfare Trust has just made to our galgo-sponsor-coat project. Winter is coming, the end of the hunting season is coming, and the circumstances in Spain have not altered a bit since last year, so you can imagine how happy the Spanish shelters are with the warm, water-resistant galgo coats we supply them with.†A huge thank you to everyone who helped by sending money in from across the globe, it is so wonderful to have the support of so many people. And some pictures for you all:

  13. There is a good update about it all in the SWT News Hound - http://www.rykat.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=41424 In May it was announced that Britain’s flagship stadium was to close by September. Walthamstow has seen its totalisator turnover fall 35% since 2001. In July, however, the All Party Parliamentary Greyhound Group (APPGG) has pledged support for short-term lease options that could reprieve greyhound racing at The Stow. It was also reported that there could be a consortium to be led by Australian millionaire, Richard Codd, to offer the property developers - to whom the land has been sold – over and above the price they paid in order to ‘Save the Stow’. Most recently it appears that this campaign has lost momentum and no more meetings have been planned with the company who purchased the land in May, until after the track’s closure on 16th August. The track is now closed and it does seem very unlikely greyhound racing will return to Walthamstow. The last race was on Saturday.
