A very big THANK YOU to everyone who came to and supported Castledon's Charity Curry Night at The Tandoori Parlour on Sunday 9th October.
A great time was had by all ( - I think!) and after a lovely meal we were entertained by Andy & Jan aka 'Billy Jan and Hank Spears'!

Apart from us all having a greyt evening, your generosity helped us to raise over £700 - a fantastic amount that will help keep the wolf from the door for a bit longer!

If anyone has any photos of the evening, we'd love to see them!
Infact, we now have our very own forum, so it would be great if you could join us there and post them for all Castledon followers to see!
Here are the details: http://castledongreyhounds.proboards.com

Hope to see you there!

Curry Night !

Due to the success of the last Castledon Curry Night back in March, we are happy to announce that we will be holding another one on Sunday 9th October.
The feedback that we got from the last one was very positive and everyone said how good the food was.
So, if you're up for a good night out and fancy helping us raise some funds for Castledon, look out for the booking form and details coming soon on the website.....

Hope to see you there! :)

Sorry, but 'Blogger' is playing up tonight and wouldn't let me edit the previous post to put the link to Kelly's fundraising page, so here it is:

What a busy weekend!

Well, this weekend is a BIG one for Castledon!
Kelly Perryman is doing her 52 mile sponsored walk to raise funds for us. Her aim is to raise £1000 and she's NEARLY there! It would be wonderful if we could get to that elusive figure.....
If you're able to spare a few pounds for the hounds, Kelly's donation page can be found here: Also, if you're a tax payer, be sure to tick the Gift Aid box - now that we're a charity, we can get extra money from the taxman at the end of the financial year!

It would also be great if any of you and your dogs could join us to welcome Kelly home at the finish of the walk on Sunday, at the Discovery Centre, Great Notley Country Park (the venue of the fortnightly Greyhound Walk)
Kelly aims to be there at approx 4.45 - why not get there a bit early and take your hounds for a stroll and grab a coffee in the cafe?
There are also plenty of pubs along the way where you can cheer her along,too - we're sure she'd be glad to see you!

On the Saturday, we've also got a stall at Suffolk Dog Day, which is being held at Helmingham Hall. Last year, this show was our favourite one - it's a great day out for hounds and humans alike.

So, if you're free anytime over the weekend, why not pop along to see us at one of our 'events'? It would be great to see you!

And finally - GOOD LUCK AND THANK YOU, KELLY!

Go Tink!

Following in the footsteps of Castledon Hounds winning ways, the lovely Tink won his class (4-5 year old dog) at the Greyhoundhomer dog show at Stifford.
Congratulations, Tink, Rose & Tony! :)

Well done, Joanne!

Congratulations to Joanne, who won best in show at the dog show which was held after the GBGW at Chelmsford today.
Continuing the Castledon ex-resident success, Macy also came first in her class (best veteran)and was also best in show reserve with Ruby coming third in her class (prettiest bitch)
Go Castledon! :)

Great British Greyhound Walk!

This coming Sunday, 26th June it's the Great British Greyhound Walk, where greyhounds will be walking at various venues around the country at 10.00 am.
Castledon will be attending the walk at Chelmsford, which is being held at Central Park.
We'll also have a stall there and Carly will be setting up the famous Castledon Paw Parlour in readiness for the queue of hounds eager to get their nails clipped and teeth cleaned!

If you're able to get to Chelmsford it would be great to see you, but if not, why not find out if there's a walk in your area?
