We are all very pleased to announce that our next auction will be held between (extended) 17th and 26th November and the beneficiary will be Tailends. I know many of you will know what a fantastic job Angela does with all the very elderly and mainly sighthounds in her care. Most of her “family” have never seen decent food or lodgings their entire lives before being homed with Angela. Because it is highly likely they received little or no veterinary care in their sad, neglected lives, Tailends sets about seeking appropriate medical attention for them and gently nurtures the dogs back to health and makes their last few months or years the happiest and most comfortable they have ever known.
Please help us to provide Tailends with a worthwhile grant to ensure the beautiful hounds there continue to get all their essential veterinary care, food and creature comforts denied to them for so many years.
How you can help
What we need is items to auction. Anything that is in good condition will help. Anything you can donate, how ever big small or in between, will be gratefully accepted as long as it is in a good condition. Please send details of anything you can give, preferably with a photo, to our Chairperson, Wendy, at wendy@sighthounds.org.uk and please state if you need postage refunded.
And, of course, by coming along and bidding on items once the auction commences on 17th November

Looking forward to this one - especially as just heard Angela is taking in a Border Terrier cross who is in a very poor way so will be looking for Terrier size items on the auction.

here's hoping - though they may mostly be more whippet sized, lol. Lots of goodies though, and for humans too

SWT auction now open...
Sighthound Welfare Trust's Winter Auction is now open.
You can visit the auction here; www.sighthoundwelfaretrust.org.uk/forums/index.php?showforum=38
As there are over 280 items we decided to extend the auction and decided to open early in order to minimise overlap with Greyhound Gap's online auction and to ensure the finale remained on the special 26th November, when we will be celebrating the 4th anniversary of the online forums!
A big thank you to all who have donated items to the auction. Let's make sure we can give a great Christmas present to the hounds at Tailends.
The auction will finish as planned at 9pm on Thursday 26th November.
We look forward to seeing you at the auction!

There are still loads of bargains to be had - weekend break/night's b&b for humans and dogs, holiday, toiletries, collars, toys and much more: some great Xmas present shopping, with 4 days to go.

It may be a case of needing to await membership approval? Perhaps PM Chrissie and ask?

I have now registered and still can't get to the auction June Hi June, thanks for joining SWT: all registrations are individually approved so relies on the relevant staff members who deal with that being around and getting them done! so apologies for any delay. If you are still having trouble, please will you PM me with your user name and I'll pass it on to those in Admin who sort these things out (it's a bit of a mystery to me, I fear). Hopefully, you've gained entry by now and found the Auction rooms ;D
