RTB'09 Roll of Honour - thank you to:

Andrew Lawrence & The National Trust

For letting us hold the event on the beautiful beach at West Wittering – a fantastic location with great facilities. It wouldn’t have happened without your generosity.

Bruce Fogle (& Bean the Golden Retriever)

http://www.brucefogle.com/

For giving up his valuable spare time to come and judge the Fancy Dress Competition and for being so chilled around lots of tall skinny dogs who don’t seem to have enough fur. You're cool!

Richard Edwards (Alphapet Veterinary Clinic, Bognor Regis)

http://www.alphapet.co.uk/

For being the RTB Vet and looking after the welfare of our dogs on the day and for knowing how to put up a gazebo in the wind.

Julia Meads (Animal Communicator)

For giving us valuable insight into how our hounds see us and what we can do to improve the quality of their lives.

Denise Dubarbier (Wimbledon Greyhound Welfare)

And everyone at the kennels for matching humans and hounds with their perfect date for the day and for staying behind to look after the few that couldn’t make it. Next year is your turn (did we actually say those words?!!!).

The Hersham Volunteers

For making the effort to collect your date for the day, drive down to the beach, share your picnics, get wind-burn and return them safe and sound. You’re heroes!

RTB Volunteers

To Kate and Rob, Chris, Liz and Dave (provider of tent pegs), Nicki Feltham (http://www.nfelthamphotography.co.uk), Tom & Val.

Nick & Liz Coleman

For the 2 previous RTBs that gave us a wonderful basis for this year’s event, for bringing Arrow to the seaside and for taking great (we KNOW they’ll be great!) photos and video. We can’t wait to see them!

James WellBeloved & Pets At Home (Chichester)

For providing all those free samples that kept the hounds quiet on the way home.

Flynn & DeeDee

For motivating us through long winter nights when we couldn’t imagine how it was going to play out, for sharing our lives and constantly pointing out how lucky we are to have them.

The Rain Gods

For staying away on the day!
