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.
