THE Friends of Tetbury Hospital are organising a fun dog walk to raise funds for the hospital.

Dogs and their owners are invited to come and take a stroll along the gentle four and a half miles walk taking in part of the Monarch's Way and Long Newnton.

The event, organised jointly with the Cotswolds Dogs & Cats Home, will take place at 10am on Sunday, June 28 starting at the Goods Shed, Tetbury.

Entry costs £10 and, if you also get your dog sponsored, you will raise more for the two charities by doing what dogs love best – taking a nice long walk with you.

To register for the walk go to www.cdch.org.uk and click on the picture of the walkers above "Latest News and Events".

Then click on the "Register Here" button to open the registration page. There is a link on the events page to the BT MyDonate page for paying your entrance fee. Whilst online you can also download a sponsorship form.

The Tetbury Hospital Trust is a charity established in 1991 which receives payment from the NHS for patient treatments though not for new or replacement equipment. The Hospital’s survival depends on local fund-raising and the generosity of local people.

Since the recent NHS re-organisation, the Hospital serves both Gloucestershire and Wiltshire with more than 20 consultants from both counties holding regular clinics at the Hospital.
