Join Animal Aid’s Memorial Ceremony at Cheltenham Racecourse on 18 March
Animal Aid will stage a memorial ceremony at Cheltenham Racecourse to commemorate the 30 horses who have died at the 10 annual festivals held at the course since 1999.
Protestors will don funereal clothes and maintain a dignified silence whilst Animal Aid’s Horse Racing Consultant, Dene Stansall, reads out a short eulogy for each of the equine victims. Protestors will also bear ‘tombstones’ with the names of the horses who have been killed at the Festival over the past decade.
We will be positioned opposite the main entrance of Cheltenham Racecourse, near the roundabout, from around 11am until the start of the day’s racing at 1.30pm. We will have banners, placards and leaflets with us.
If there are enough people at the memorial ceremony, some campaigners may wish to distribute leaflets in the town centre to put our viewpoint across to people in the street, who may be more sympathetic than those who are intent on attending the races.
Cheltenham Spa Rail Station is well connected and there are the options of public transport or a lift from the station to the racecourse if we know well in advance that you are coming.
Please join us for part, or all of the event. Your support is needed.
Please contact Fiona (Fiona@animalaid.co.uk 01732 364546) with your name and contact phone number.
Thanks
