Changes to the Committee

Amanda · Master

Gosh what difficult acts they will be to follow blankstare

Well done both there are a lot of happy hound out there as a direct result of all the hard work you have put in...

Incredibly big shoes to fill. It's no exaggeration to say Dave and Carole have been THE most influential GAL committee members in our greyhound-related lives.

Carole - thank you for all the advice you gave us when we first got Pearly. You may have brushed the daily phone calls from your memory but we'll never forget them! Your reassurance and confidence in us was invaluable. Same goes for when we got Harry. All the old turmoil came rushing back and you helped us through it.

Dave - thank you for never minding when we asked continual questions about dog after dog after dog after dog when we were thinking about getting greyhound number two. If everyone is like us, little wonder that the hardest part of your job was rehoming the second dog.

You'll both be missed.

What's happening, your dropping off like flies

Thanks Dave for all the help with Millie at the start with all her heart problems and helping to find me the right dog

You've clearly been dedicated to caring for the dogs for so long and have put a lot of your spare time into finding homes for the many dogs in GAL's care and getting some dogs out of sticky situations! I'll be sorry to see you go and think they'll struggle to find someone who will "fill" your post!
Good Luck in the future and take it you'll still be keeping in touch?!

Well done for all your hard work

Steve · Master

What a shame that it's all coming to this. Thanks Dave - if it wasny for you we wouldn't have chosen greys, GAL and got Harry and Pearly.

Carole - all the best..... and for letting us test Harry out on cats - think we knew what the answer to that was going to be!

I would also like to add my heartfelt thanks to Dave for finding Mason for me and all your help on all matters groo.
I hope you'll continue to be involved with GAL in the future.

I am so sorry to hear of both Dave and Carole resigning from GAL , they have both in their own way done above and beyond the call of duty for greyhounds and my dog and many others would not be in the homes they are in without their dedication and the self-less time they have given. You will both be sorely missed and a great loss to GAL. My family and I would like to wish you all the best for the future and hope you will still log on and let us know how you are both doing. THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF OUR HEARTS

hear, hear to everything else that has been said!

Both Dave & Carole have done tremendous work in saving and rehoming greys over the last, goodness knows how many years.

It would be great to see you both at GAL events in the future - where you can relax and let everyone else do the work for a change!!!!

Christine Young · GAL Newsletter Editor

As everyone else has said - Thank you very much, both of you, for all your hard work, for the homing of all the greyhounds over the years, the excellent fostering advice you've given and the countless hours you've spent on GAL matters! There are hundreds, if not thousands, of greyhounds in wonderful homes now because of your work. The story for them could have been so different and doesn't bear thinking about.

Thank you for choosing Vegas for us - he's my special boy and we all love him dearly. And for Dixie, who's the cutest, naughtiest girl in town and we love her to bits too.

Hope you won't be cutting yourselves off entirely, but that we'll see you now and again at GAL events. Good luck to both of you in the future!

I'm shocked and stunned! It always seemed that the GAL committee were timeless. This is like being told that the sun will no longer rise in the East and set in the West! cry

Best of luck to whoever takes up the respective mantles - they have hard acts to follow.

I would also like to reiterate what everyone else has said and congratulate Dave and Carole on their marvellous work for needy greys over the years. They have done so much for everyone and I'm sure they'll be sorely missed. I sincerely hope that they both keep us posted. wink
