Katherine House Hospice have asked us to thank the members of South Cotswolds Whippet Racing Club for their donation to the hospice in memory of Veronica Hill. As many people will know, Veronica, with her sister, Ann Spencer- Thomas was a founder member of the club in 1984, with Alf and Enid Hayes, Joan and Helen Wayman, and Betty Ashby. Veronica and Ann own the famous "Jimanica "affix and their beautiful whippets were reknowned on the coursing field as well as being behind some of the fastest racing whippets on the track. It is a tribute to their enthusaism and foresight that we are still running on the same ground, our club is thriving and we are still able to enjoy a good morning's sport as we did today.

I think its the least Cotswolds could do after what Veronica did to help set SCPWRC up ......I hope all of the founder members are pleased with how we are doing

Very sorry to hear about Veronica Hill. We also coursed with with her. Wish we could have known sooner. It a pity such news cannot get around quicker - we don't read Dog World or Our Dogs where I guess the news was published.
