Horncastle has recently hosted the National Conference of the organisation“ said a group spokesman.

“Our purpose is to promote the Wolds area as a walkers’ destination, but sadly our weed strewn pavements were an embarrassment.”

The Walkers are Welcome AGM will be held in the Admiral Rodney Hotel at 5.30pm tonight (December 7). Anybody interested is welcome to go along and discuss plans for 2017.
