The community dog walking group Big Walkies is holding its ‘Big Christmas Walk’ on Saturday 17 December. There will be prizes for the best Christmas-dressed dogs, owners and walkers, plus a collection for Wood Green, The Animals Charity. You can also join in with the doggy secret Santa ­– spend up to £1 on a dog treat, wrap it up and put it in the secret Santa bag on arrival.
     The event is free and the walk will start at 10.30am from Conneygear car park, St Neots (sat-nav postcode PE19 2PR). Non-dog owners who love dogs are more than welcome to come along too. RSVP by emailing bigwalkies@live.co.uk with your name and dogs’ names and advise if you will be taking part in the secret Santa.
