 
                            A 'mini parish walk' for children will take place this July for the second year in a row.
It will take place on Saturday, July 16 at St John's Arboretum from 11am.
The route, which is set around the ‘Parish’ signs in the Arboretum, will be marshalled by volunteers, family and friends.
It will see youngsters walk distances between 1k and 2.5k (depending on age group) to raise funds for charity.
There is a £5 entry fee with each participant receiving a sponsor form to raise money for their own charities.
Organiser Mike Priest reflects on the success of last years event:
