The main purposes of the meeting will be to further consider a resolution to set up a working group to investigate the use of legacy monies received by GRW and to re-elect officers and members to the Executive Committee. An agenda and a copy of the resolution are attached. The resolution has been updated to take into account amendments made to the motion at the AGM. Any further amendments must be proposed seven days before the Special General Meeting. If anyone has any queries about the resolution, or wishes to submit an amendment please email info@greyhoundrescuewales.co.uk.
The venue is on the main road through Builth Wells, close to the bridge over the river Wye near the Wyeside Arts Centre. There is some parking at the Community Centre and the main Riverside Car Park is nearby. Dogs are welcome. The floor is wooden so please bring your own mat/blanket if needed. Tea and Coffee will be available but please make your own arrangements for lunch.
All members and supporters of Greyhound Rescue Wales are welcome to attend but only paid up members will be able to vote. Please note the GRW membership year begins in January so if you pay annually please make sure you renew before the start of the meeting. Membership applications will be considered until 12.45pm on the day of the meeting.
Burry Port Shop
The manager of the Burry Port shop has decided to run set up her own charity shop, therefore GRW is no longer the beneficiary of donations to that store. GRW ideally wished for its store to continue in Burry Port but has allowed the store to continue raising money for its current charities as requested by the manger, and wishes the shop well in its new venture.
Thank you
A busy weekend for the rescue. Around 20 volunteers out and about collecting money, organizing people and moving dogs around. The end result is that three dogs have come in and are now safe; and, two that were in our care are now in their forever homes. A big thanks to everyone.
Collection Success
Thanks to everyone involved in the Swansea, Narberth and Cardiff collections. In total over £1800 was raised, which is much needed for the dogs in care at this time of year.

About Us
Greyhound Rescue Wales is the longest established greyhound charity in Wales and the only all Wales charity dedicated to rescuing and re-homing greyhounds and lurchers.
Our dogs are given to us directly by their owners or we take them in as strays after they have been abandoned. Our dogs receive all the loving care and veterinary treatment they need for as long as they are with us. All are also neutered, vaccinated, wormed and micro-chipped. To see the greyhounds and lurchers who need homes at the moment look at our Dogs Needing Homes Page.
Greyhound Rescue Wales campaigns ceaselessly to spread the message that Greyhounds and lurchers make wonderful pets. We are currently working with key partners to make sure that all greyhounds in Wales receive protection in law in the future. Greyhound Rescue Wales is an entirely voluntary organisation so all the funds we raise are put to good use with the lowest possible overheads.
There are many ways you can help us: enter our monthly prize draw, visit our shop, sponsor a dog, rehome a dog or there are other ways to help.
Registered Charity Number 1059733.
