MEMBERS of a seaside community group embarked on a socially distanced walk in aid of a charity dedicated to amplifying the voices of rural women. The Frinton Women’s Institute took part in Walk The World day towards the end of April on behalf of Associated Country Women of the World. Setting off from Frinton Golf Club the ramblers strolled to Holland-on-Sea and back again, raising more than £20 for the organisation. Jan Holyoake, press officer for the Frinton Women’s Institute said: “Fortunately the weather was kind to us when we set off. “It was lovely to physically see members again, especially four of our brand new members.”

A group of about 35 set off on the annual Rural Women Walk the World event in high spirits on April 18.
They left Brenda and Andy Collins house in Warrengate Rd, near Fordell, intending to return there for afternoon tea after a 14km walk across farms on mainly flat ground.
Landowner permissions were obtained by Brenda Collins and the route would take in historic sites, Andy Collins said.
