Calling greyhound racing programme collectors.

Hi everyone,

Sorry to be a bit off topic for this forum, it’s a bit of a long shot too.. I collect greyhound programmes and I am after a very special set from Catford in 1980. My dad owned a greyhound during this period whose racing name was ‘The Present’ (pet name Barney), however unfortunately I do not have any of the programmes from when he raced and would love to have them in my collection. If you do have any programmes from the dates below I would be extremely grateful if you would be prepared to sell them to me.  All of the following races are from Catford and the dates that Barney raced are below, he will be down as 'The Present' in the programmes:
