Parking easy, well organised.
Rings well organised
Stalls well organised.
Weather lovely - well organised! 
Overall, an excellent day!
I know these things only happen as a result of a lot of hard work. Thank you!
p.s. Only feedback we would give would be the slow and not very user friendly arrangement for paying for parking on the way out - but that isn't controlled or organised by Greyhound Walks! (Perhaps it should be as everything GW was responsible for was first class!)

Thank you to everyone who came along to support the 8th GW Show, congratulations to all GW walkers who took home a rosette, and a big thank you to the tireless team of volunteers who pulled out all the stops to ensure that Dave Peacock's last show was a memorable one.
Lastly thank you to Dave - retiring after 8 years involvement (yes he really is this time) - as the person who sees how many hours he gives to make this all work, through his hard work he has made the Greyhound Walks Show a safe, successful, enjoyable and wonderful event.

I had such a wonderful day!
Met so many people who I've not seen in ages
Met so many people I've come to know from the Great British Greyhound Walk
Was bowled over by how stunning some of the dogs were
Am thrilled that feedback from stalls is so good and that they did so well
Was delighted to present Chelsea' Ambassadors Cup again this year, chioice was very hard, but what a winner!
Can't believe how hard the team worked to make it happen so smoothly and in such heat
Love the judges, love the stewards, love the volunteers
Came home with homemade cake
Made it into work without too many aches and pains

We knew it was going to be a nightmare, as did the rangers but there was nothing we could do to alleviate it. Can only suggest anyone who had a bad exiting experience write to the council and tell them like it really is. Abominable system!

A few pictures from an old work colleague who came on Sunday. She said her and her daughter and grandsons had a fantastic time. She has a soft spot for Lurchers and was making a beeline for every one that she saw
