GBGB eyes centenary year with celebration of past and present

THE GBGB has launched the social media hashtag #CelebratingOurStadia with venues past and present to be featured in the run-up to Christmas.

The feature comes ahead of the centenary year of greyhound racing in the UK in 2026, the first regulated meeting having taken place at Belle Vue in Manchester on July 24th 1926 when in excess of 1,700 spectators witnessed the inaugural 440 yards race won by a greyhound named Mistley.

The series launched on Monday 1st December with Valley in Ystrad Mynach, the only greyhound stadium in Wales.

It features regularly on sisracing.tv with meetings on Wednesday and Thursday afternoons, Sunday mornings and occasional Saturday evenings.
