Join the pack on walkies event

Date published: 04 November 2013


Dog owners are invited to take their four-legged friends on a charity walk in Rochdale next weekend, in order to help raise money for guide dogs.

At 10.30 am, on Sunday 10 November, Hollingworth Lake Country Park in Littleborough will be hosting a 'Go Walkies for Guide Dogs' fundraising event.

There will be two routes to choose from:

  • A 15 to 20 minute walk on good paths for puppies and smaller dogs 
  • A 50 minute walk on good paths for bigger dogs 

All participants will receive a free goody bag, certificate and Go Walkies dog tag as a thank you for their support. Plus, one walker will win a six months’ supply of Eukanuba dog food.

Entrants can register to take part on 0770 202 1420 or online, where sponsorship forms can also be downloaded at:

www.guidedogs.org.uk/go-walkies/

Participants can bring their sponsorship money on the day or pay direct to guide dogs via the website.

Walkers should be prepared with appropriate clothing and footwear. All dogs need to be on a lead; free dog poo bags are available at the visitor centre.
