Social Event 2nd July - all welcome!

[andyandjan]

Social event for greyhounds, lurchers and their owners

Lunch at the Royal Oak, Bovingdon, Hertfordshire – Saturday 2 July from 12pm (food served at 1pm)

This could be your opportunity to continue all those conversations you started on a walk but never got the chance to finish!

We’re organising a “social” at this dog-friendly, country pub in Hertfordshire. We will have sole use of a self-contained paddock at the rear of the pub and a discounted rate on their usual menu prices. Food is delicious – locally sourced where possible and freshly cooked.

Choose from:

• Beer Battered Haddock with Handcut Chips, Crushed Peas & Tartare Sauce
• Beef Burger with Handcut Chips
• Honey Roasted Ham & Eggs with Handcut Chips
• Sundried Tomato & Feta Risotto with Mixed Leaves (v)

All at £6.95

Spaces are limited so if you would like to come along then email Jan Taylor on [e-mail] or phone her on 01923 262565 or send Andy Taylor (that's me - andyandjan) a PM via the Greyhound Walks Forum. Alternatively you can give Jan the cash when you see her – don’t forget to let her have your menu selection together with your name and address so that she can send you your tickets.

If you have an eye for a bargain then why not combine your trip with a visit to Bovingdon Market? It’s a 5 minute drive from the pub and is open 9am to 4pm www.bovingdonmarket.co.uk

Or you might like to take a gentle stroll down the leafy lanes or round the village green adjacent to the pub.

Bovingdon is a 15 minute drive from junction 20 of the M25.

Visit the pub’s website here www.royaloakbovingdon.co.uk

Just wanted to mention that this is purely a social, not a fundraiser.

The cost of the food is precisely what the pub are charging, there is no mark up for GW.

Everyone buys their own drinks from the bar, so again, GW gets nothing from the drinks either.

We just thought it would be good to get together and chill out without having the pressure of fundraising.

Of course, there may be a collection bucket or two around! ;D

[exracers]

I'm sure you'll be inundated with lunchers nearer the time.

I shall be interested in my 'locally sourced' haddock. Does that mean it's from the canal? ;D

[hoppy91]

Is the paddock 100% enclosed ............................ might be fun if it is.

[Tink]

Yes it is.
