LYMINGTON TOWN TOURS WALK
GUIDES WANTED?
LYMINGTON TOWN TOURS is back with a
limited programme of history walks around
Lymington for local residents who want to
know more about the area or for people who
are just visiting on holiday. We will run a
limited programme of walks this year but we
need
NEW GUIDES for later in this season and for
2023 and beyond. Walks are conducted from
May to October and free training is provided by
experienced guides, some of whom have been
with the volunteer, non-profit group since the
start of the project in 1986!
WHAT DO THEY DO? One or two guides per
group of 5 – 10 attendees set out on a
designated route around the town, stopping at
various points to recount highlights from the
history of Lymington. Our full programme of
walks also includes parts of Pennington and
MoS.
WHO CAN APPLY? Anyone with a love or
passion for local history who feels able to
communicate that interest to a group of people
in an enthusiastic manner. You do not have to
be an
accomplished
public speaker
but you do have
to be able to
command
some facts
and
communicate
them to the
audience in a clear and
concise, non-partisan manner – a good
sense of humour also helps make the walk
memorable for our attendees. You must be
able to donate time to the project – for training
and the walks themselves
WHAT DO YOU GET PAID? Nothing, zero, zilch!
We do it for the love of the town and to
engender some interest in local history for
future generations. There is a voluntary
contribution request made by each guide and a
cloth bag is passed around the group at the end
to collect the donations – we suggest each
adult contributes £5 but children are free! This
money goes purely to cover administration
costs for leaflet printing, picture research and
laminating for presentation, badges for guides,
website maintenance and insurance etc, etc.
