Entries are now being taken for popular annual fun run and walk, The Great Dalby Dollop.

Great views of Burrough Hill and the glorious countryside can be enjoyed by all.

All proceeds from the fun run will be directed towards the upkeep of St Swithun’s Church in the village.

About £1,500 was raised for the church at last year’s event which saw 125 runners and walkers taking part.

Organiser Ruth Man said: “The cross country course is 5km long, with an option of 10km for two circuits, and it will be timed.

“It is marked and stewarded and maybe run or walked at your leisure.

“Dogs are welcome but must be on a lead at all times.

"All finishers receive a medal and cake.”

The entry fee is £10 for adults or £5 for children, aged 11 and under.

Participants can enter beforehand or on the day from 9.30am.

Prizes will be awarded to the first runner with a dog, the first male and female to finish, the first child (aged 11 and under) and the first child to finish who lives in Great Dalby.

Refreshments will be available throughout the event.
