A dog show for greyhounds hopes to raise money for a charity, which re-homes retired race-track dogs.

The event organised by Romford Greyhound Owners Association will be held at Coral Romford Greyhound Stadium, London Road, Romford, from 11am.

There will be eight different classes for male dogs and eight classes for female dogs.

This will include categories for dogs up to three years old and for pets aged 11 and older.

Those who win a prize in these classes will compete against each other for the title of Best Dog and Best Bitch.

Entrance is 50p per person and spectators will be treated to various stalls, a tombola, a licensed bar and a children’s play area.

All proceeds will go towards the re-homing and welfare of the retired greyhounds at the Romford Greyhounds Owners’ Association.
