DOG owners are being encouraged to get their wellies on for the Winter Walkies to raise money for St Clare Hospice.

Walkers – and their dogs – will set off from St Clare Hospice in Hastingwood at 10.30am for a 5km sponsored country walk on Sunday, January 27. Everybody is welcome to join in, with or without a dog.

Grace Clutton, the Hospice’s events fundraiser, said: “Why not bring your family for a New Year stroll? After the 5km walk round the local countryside there will be treats and even a medal for the pooches, and soup and rolls will be provided for the owners.”

There will be prizes for the best Dog - Owner Lookalike as well as Wackiest Wellies.

Entry costs £10 per adult (£5 per child or £27.50 per family - two adults, two children) which includes hot refreshments. Sign up as places are limited.

You can register online at stclarehospice.org.uk/winterwalkies.html or call 01279 773750 for a registration form.
