4th National Greyhound Week under way in centenary year
GBGB’s fourth National Greyhound Week (NGW), in which tracks up and down the country host a range of special events, is under way as the sport’s 100th birthday celebrations continue.
NGW runs through to Bank Holiday Monday on 31st August with tracks welcoming visitors of all ages and from all walks of life to enjoy a fun day out.
Speaking about the week, GBGB Marketing Manager Cress Lee said: “We are excited to open up our Centenary celebrations to communities across our licensed tracks.
"You only get to turn 100 once and being able to share this moment with so many local families, friends and supporters makes the occasion even more significant.
“National Greyhound Week continues to offer tracks a great opportunity to highlight everything that makes our sport so special on and off the racetrack.
"We know how popular NGW has become and that many tracks enjoy record attendances for the time of year as families make the most of the last of the school summer holidays.
"The stories of those fans who discovered a love of racing after visiting for the first time during NGW are always lovely to hear.”
