New Years Day Walk at Roundhay Park organised by the Sighthound Social Club
Event by Sighthound Social Club
Roundhay Park Lane, Leeds, LS8 2HH, United Kingdom
Public · Anyone on or off Facebook
A New Years Day walk is something we love to do each year. Start the year as we mean to go on - our Sighthound Social family enjoying time together.
Blow off those cobwebs or any New Years Eve excesses with a relaxing walk around the grounds of this lovely Victorian park.
We are suggesting a meeting time of 10am in front of the Mansion House as we have found parking to be easier at this location and not as busy post walk.
Please bring your Sardines4Sighthounds folks and any pennies for the charity collection tin!
We hope to see you there!
Christmas Walk at Worsbrough Reservoir organised by the Sighthound Social Club
Event by Sighthound Social Club
Worsbrough Reservoir
Public · Anyone on or off Facebook
Christmas is a time for everyone to come together and it is important for us and our hounds to have one last walk before the big pointy nosed man comes to leave gifts under the tree. So that's just what we are doing.
Please join us and all our friends at South Yorkshire Sighthounds https://www.facebook.com/groups/1415322552052312 for our last walk of 2024.
We will be meeting at the larger cobbled area in front of the Mill. As you approach the tearoom, go down the road/lane to the left of the flagpole, past the toilet block and then round to the left.
Meeting at 10am meet for a 10.30am walk.
We have been asked - if anyone would like teas/coffees/something to eat please can you use the takeout facility at the tearooms rather than going into the tearoom. This is due to limited space.
If anyone wishes to eat/drink in, there is a great dog friendly cafe, across the road from the car park:
https://www.facebook.com/WheelsAndWalkers/
Parking is £2 for up to 2 hours or £3 all day.
We look forward to seeing you there!

The Cobles Coffee Bar
Public · Anyone on or off Facebook
Back by popular demand! Ooh we do like to be beside the seaside It's just great for the soul.
We have checked the tide and we believe we are good to go (fingers & paws crossed).
Meeting at the cafe bar at Coble Landing we will walk along the promenade and then down onto the dog friendly area of beach due to beach restrictions at this time of year. Have a nice beach walk before heading back for a cuppa/fish & chips afterwards?
Parking near to Coble Landing is pay and display. We understand this to be £3.30 for 2 hours and £5.50 for 4 hours and can be paid by coins, card or Ringo.
No guarantees with the weather but we can guarantee a lovely day out with friends!
As responsible owners I am sure you would not wish for any excitement incidents with your hound. Therefore this is strictly an on lead walk at all times, as usual.
We do not apologise for being over cautious and not letting dogs walk off-lead, if our plans are not what you had in mind can we please ask that you wait for the group walk to finish and disperse before allowing your hound to be free range. Safety to all dogs and their owners come first to us at all times.
Hope to see you there!
Dunkirk Village Fete and Fun Dog Show
Lurcher Link will be having a stall here, please come along if you can
Halifax Agricultural Show
Halifax Agricultural Show is on Saturday 10th August (9am -5pm) at Saville Park HX1 3EA and LL will be having a stall there again.... but we could really do with some volunteers to come along and help "man the stall" - which in reality means talking to people about dogs and sell tombola tickets 😊
It's a LONG day if you're on your own and it's nice to have someone to help so you can go for a pee / get some food/ have a look around. Some of us old crocks can't stand around for too long without seizing up 🤓 so help would be much appreciated.
If you can come and help for a few hours we'll make sure you get in either with a pass or we'll reimburse you the entry cost. You can bring your dog/s as long as they're going to cope with other dogs being around and having to stay on a lead / in a crate near you.
Please PM me or email kaye@lurcherlink.org (mark it HALIFAX SHOW in the subject line) if you can help us out
