Diggers invade the Walks - for a funfair

Volunteer Stalls
Funfair
The Diggers are coming?
There was a good number of volunteer-run stalls along the Tennyson Road edge of the fair and the King's Lynn Model Engineers moved their regular Sunday afternoon train run from Lynnsport to a short track in the Walks for the day.
The funfair continued into the early evening, with one of the more surprising rides being "Digger Dan" which gave people spins in the bucket of a mechanical digger. The Walks are currently under threat from a "Restoration" project which may see diggers used to enlarge the land drains and prepare for new trees on the Walks. One or two of the visitors to the fair were afraid that work was about to start after the fair - fortunately, the Council is still only at the tendering stage and there should be public meetings this month or next. Visit the Walks Action Group site for more details.
