SPONSORED dog lovers will be stepping out with their pooches into the autumn Chilterns next month.

On Sunday, October 5, they will be raising money to support the homeless being cared for by Stokenchurch Dog Rescue.

There will be a choice of five or ten kilometre walks and sponsor forms are available from the charity's website or the kennels in Oxford Road.

Check-in time for registration will be at 10.30am, ready for departures at 11. People can walk their own dog or pre-arrange to take out one of the dogs from the kennels. Some may walk without dogs.

Youngsters aged under 18 must be accompanied by an adult.

For more details call walks supervisor Dave Bevan on 01844 344601 or Lisa Morley on 01494 482695.
