Weekly leafletting at Wimbledon track
Every
Saturday from 6.00pm to 7.30pm
The leafletting coincides with greyhound racing taking place at the stadium
and the aim is to educate people going in not to support the dog racing
industry and to go elsewhere next time they want a night out.
In recent weeks, leafletting outside the stadium has been very successful
with a good take-up of leaflets and considerable sympathy from members
of the public. If attendances at greyhound racing there can be reduced
by just a few percent, there is a strong chance that lack of profitability
will bring it to an end.
However, for this to occur, the current small band of leafletteers need
urgent help from others to properly cover all entrances to the stadium
and ensure maximum distribution of leaflets.
Please do your best to help them, whenever you
can, especially if you live in or near the South-West London area. Leaflets
will be provided. All you need to do is spend a short while giving them
out.
