Still going to the dogs after 33 years.
The Journalists’ Charity raised nearly £3,000 at their annual Greyhound Racing Evening at Hall Green Stadium in Birmingham. The Charity’s Midlands’ district has been running the event for 33 consecutive years, making it one of the region’s oldest charity events. Despite the difficult financial times, the charity attracted strong support from corporate supporters and, in particular, from Heineken UK who sponsored the evening. “It is great to have such strong support in these times,” said the Charity’s Midlands chairman Laurie Upshon.
