We are in like manner aware of the wellbeing and prosperity of everybody related with British greyhound dashing and obviously our more extensive social duty to help limit the transmission and effect of COVID-19.

These estimates will assist with shielding the government assistance of our greyhounds by guaranteeing that, albeit in secret, dashing proceeds with any place conceivable at this stage.
