Greyhounds at The Greyhound pub, Lower Penn
Repawters: Ellie and Perry
Monday 18 November saw Danny Butler, John Woodward and Wolves legend (and AFC supporter) Mel Eves joined by club photographer Jim Mayer and Home Run Hounds “ambassadogs” at The Greyhound Pub in Lower Penn, Wolverhampton to launch a new partnership between the club and two of its sponsors.
The Greyhound Pub management team of Frankie and Jorden are big fans of AFC and sponsor the club so we thought it would be nice to get another club sponsor Home Run Hounds to visit the pub with a few hounds and for the humans to try the excellent food on offer.
Claire Butler of Home Run Hounds and her team of volunteers brought the hounds on a familiarisation visit (they are useful in getting ex racing greyhounds to try new experiences whilst they are in the kennels waiting for their forever home) and the hounds behaved impeccably, as did Danny Butler and Mel Eves!
After Jim Mayer had worked his magic with the camera, the hounds went back to their beds and the humans sampled the food.
The great news for AFC Supporters is that The Greyhound will be offering a special AFC promotion in January 2025 which will allow all AFC fans to visit the pub, sample the food and beer and get a discount on the whole bill. Details of how to book and claim the AFC promotion will be in the AFC Wulfrunian’s January newsletter.
After a great meal and a chat with Mel Eves about his time training on the AFC pitch during his time at Wolves we left but not before Frankie put a Home Run Hounds collection tin in the bar.
Collaboration with sponsors and a lovely day. More great Jim Mayer photos of the day are on our Facebook, Linkedin and twitter feeds.
