Geoff Mills, a well-known musician from Weymouth, offered to give a concert for the Dorchester Strollers.

It was arranged by Val Knight, Strollers Treasurer, and Janet Meachin, Strollers Leader, on a Tuesday afternoon after the usual walks.

It was held in the United Church Hall. A good number attended and very much enjoyed the concert.

It also raised money for the Strollers funds. Unlike most of the Walking for Health Groups in the country Dorchester Strollers is completely run by volunteers and has to raise its own funds.

Dorchester Strollers is an accredited Walking for Health Group offering two regular walk occasions each week, Monday mornings and Tuesday afternoons.

Each time a slow walk of up to 45 minutes is offered and also a longer faster walk of an hour. Afterwards both groups meet for tea/coffee.

The walks are free and led by specially trained leaders.

The group is run entirely by volunteers.

Special walks are up to 90 minutes on either a Sunday afternoon or Thursday evening and quite often outside Dorchester.
