MEET UPS LONDON

 

If you're an Italian Greyhound owner in or near London and would like your dog to meet other Italians then please take a look at this meet up group: http://www.meetup..com/ItalianGreyhoundsLondon/

 

The plan is to see if enough people are interested to organise fairly regular meetups (maybe monthly) for Italians to get together and have a romp in the parks around London.  It's a bit of an experiment as I've no idea if other Italian owners do want to their dogs to meet other Italians but I know I do so I hope there are other like-minded people out there!

The plan is to have the first meetup on Sunday. 7th June in Hyde Park and see where it goes from there.  If you might be interested then please register on the meetup group and I can keep you informed of arrangements.
