Over 150 members went to the dogs at the city's Owlerton Greyhound Stadium as part of the organisation's special charity networking night, in association with the Barnsley and Rotherham Chamber.

Peter Rawlinson, chairman of Sheffield Business Club, said : "This was a memorable night that saw key Sheffield business people get behind a very worthy cause and enjoy a great night's networking in the process.''

The fundraising got off to a rather unexpected flying start when Sheffield company Gripple donated £500 because they were unable to attend and Owlerton Stadium gave some of their own fee to the cause.

Races were sponsored by Raw Estates, Wake Smith & Tofields, Wingfield Slater Chartered Accountants, Inspec Solutions, Yorkshire Bank, SSA, Watson Esam Solicitors, Eyefinity and IDS Industrial Roofing & Cladding Ltd.

Talk of a looming recession has already caused the biggest monthly increase in the membership of Sheffield Business Club in years.

The organisation's next event is a business networking lunch held on October 30 at SUFC's 1889 Restaurant starting at 12 noon.

Tickets are £21 members and £25 non-members and can be purchased at www.sheffieldbc.co.uk
