The Farnham Walking Festival
Heartstart Farnham Lions: Walking from strength to strength
On Sunday 2nd June 2019, the final day of this year’s very successful Farnham Walking Festival, sixty people took part in the Farnham Lions Heartstart walks. Three groups of walkers set off from Gostrey Meadow and walked along the main roads of and into Farnham Town Centre to highlight the need for more Defibrillators in Farnham and better signage for those that already exist. The walks, which were also in memory of Farnham Lion Keith Aston who had worked so hard to develop Heartstart Farnham Lions, ended back at Gostrey Meadow where the walkers and many others enjoyed ‘Music in the Meadow’ and were able to enjoy a tea or coffee and a wide selection of cakes at the Farnham Town Council Tea Tent manned by members of the Farnham Lions and the Heartstart team. There was also a Heartstart display where visitors were able to experience how to use a Defibrillator.
