Dear sir,
We are on holidays the first 3 weeks of august this year
in England. Are there Greyhound Races at Wimbledon
Greyhound Stadium during our period in England?
Let us know as we really like to see such a race.
Can you bet in the stadium or is it only
possible on line. Looking forward hearing from you.
Greetings,
Family Van Reeth (from Belgium)
Hi Family Van Reeth,
Unfortunately, Wimbledon has now permanently closed. Romford might be your best option near London.
Best Regards
Jamie
