COUNTRYSIDE campaigners from across Wiltshire and Dorset have vowed to return to Swindon after setting up a successful weekend stall.

The Countryside Alliance had a stall in the town centre, complete with gun dogs and birds of prey, on Saturday.

It was part of a network of events across the country aimed at promoting hunting, other country sports and the traditional rural way of life.

Wessex organiser Francis Moore said: "We welcomed the opportunity to promote and raise awareness of the enormous economic, social and environmental contribution that country sports make to the countryside."
