THE Dursley Welcomes Walkers team are busy planning their tenth walking festival which will be held from October 6 to 10.

A festival spokesman said: "Everyone has fingers crossed hoping that Covid-19 restrictions will be considerably eased by October to allow for a celebratory tenth anniversary festival."

A report from the 2020 walking festival, as well as plans for the 2021 event, will be agenda topics for the group's Annual General Meeting to be held on Thursday, May 27 at 6pm via Zoom.
