PEOPLE interested in the history of Devizes are being urged to take part in a sponsored walk around the town's boundaries in aid of charity.

The annual Beating of the Bounds sponsored walk takes place on April 18 and all proceeds will go to Mayor Paula Winchcombe's appeal for Devizes Opportunity Centre, for pre-school children with special educational needs.

The walk will set off from Devizes Sports Club in London Road and follow the historic parish boundary of Devizes. Entry and sponsorship forms are available from the town hall, youth centre, sports club and leisure centre.
