Mark Bird, GBGB Managing Director, said:
“The evening promises to be a wonderful celebration of the stars of 2020
and a chance to re-live the year’s stand-out performances. Importantly, it
is also an opportunity for us to thank everyone within our sport who goes
above and beyond on a daily basis to care for our canine athletes.

across the sport can join us virtually so we can celebrate the achievements
of our entire greyhound community.”
