STOURBRIDGE Rotary Club members will be donning their walking shoes for a fundraising trek around Bodenham Arboretum in aid of the president’s charities.

Up to 40 Rotarians will be taking part in the three-mile walk at the Wolverley beauty spot on Tuesday May 27.

The event starts at 10am and money raised will go to president Cliff Gammon’s chosen causes for 2013/14 – Mary Stevens Hospice and Amblecote’s Glasshouse College.

Mr Gammon said: “It’s the first time we’ve done this event – we’d like to raise £2,000 to £3,000.”

Members of the public are also invited to take part in the walk.
