GAZETTE & HERALD: A BIG TODDLE is being held in Calne next month to raise money for Heddington Under Fives Playgroup and the children's charity Barnados.

Jackie Williams, chairman of the playgroup, said the annual event was organised by Barnados, with half-mile walks around the country.

"The nearest walk to us was in Minehead, so we decided to organise our own," she said.

Three-quarters of the money raised will go to Barnados and the rest to Heddington Under Fives, which has 16 children at Paddock Farm.

The walk takes place from midday on June 29 at Calne Recreation Ground.

"The plan is to start with picnics while everyone meets, and then do the walk," said Mrs Williams.

"The recreation club is opening the club house for us in case of rain, and Jumping Jacks are donating a bouncy castle."

All playgroups and pre-schools in the area are invited to join in the fun. For more information contact Mrs Williams on (01249) 813586.
