It is with sadness that we have decided to cancel Ludlow Dog Day this year. This has not been an easy decision for the Club as we have already put much effort and incurred substantial costs into organising the day. We also know that we will be disappointing many people who were looking forward to the event this year. However, in light of the restrictions associated with the current coronavirus emergency and uncertainties as to how long they will continue, this was really the only decision we could make in the circumstances.
We also thought it was only fair to come to a decision now so that everybody would know exactly where they were, rather than waiting to see what happens and maybe having to cancel the event nearer the date.
Although, sadly a great fun day out for dogs and their families will not now be taking place this year, more worrying will be the loss of much needed financial support for our chosen charities: St Michael’s Hospice – Hereford; Hope House Children’s Hospices, Guide Dogs and our own Ludlow Rotary Cares. Over the coming weeks the Club will be considering ways we can continue our support for these essential charities and will be posting information on our websites and social media.
If you would like to make a personal donation to any or all of these great causes here are links to their donation pages: –

- Ludlow Rotary Cares – https://www.goldengiving.com/secure/donation/ludlow-rotary-club
We look forward to a time when things return to normal, but in the meantime thank everyone, including our sponsors but most of all the dog owners and their families, for their support over the last 6 years.
Best wishes from Ludlow Rotary Club
