A Celebration of Willow

Live whippet racing is coming back to Lambourn Sports Club in aid of the Alabama Rot Research Fund. 

Join us on Sunday, June 29, for an afternoon of racing, family games and fun, Irish music plus great local food and drink. All proceeds from this event will be donated to the Alabama Rot Research Fund in memory of Willow who lost her life to the disease in March 2024.

General admission is £5 per person and can be purchased online here, or using cash on the day. If you wish to go the extra mile and help this event raise £5,000, you can purchase a silver or gold general admission ticket for £10 or £15 respectively.
