Mark's view on Walthamstow closure, quote "If there was one newsletter I did not want to write then this is the one - the sad news on Friday of the closure by mid August of our beloved Walthamstow. It has left myself, my wife Sarah, and my staff totally devastated. At the moment I'm still trying to take in what has to be a serious blow not just for us and all my loyal owners but for the sport we love as a whole. For the time being I feel real anger at the whole situation but I shall not use our website to voice my opinions right at this moment. I would like to reassure all my owners that the welfare of the greyhounds in our care is of the utmost importance and hope that everyone would bear with us for the time being until the picture becomes more clearer".
"The timing of the above situation couldn't have been worse with the Blue Square Greyhound Derby in full swing but our two remaining entries Commander Chief and Seanis Lad gave us all something to smile about as they superbly progressed into Tuesday's Quarter Finals. Unfortunately Seanis Strike, who had won so well in round two, lost the battle to be fit for the third round after a sprained ligament in the wrist prevented him from taking his chance. Hopefully it won't be a long term injury and this fella will be one of our big race stars for the rest of the year".
