IN the early hours of next Sunday morning hundreds of colourfully dressed females will make their way along Chorley New Road, Bolton, on the annual Bolton Hospice Midnight Memories Walk.

Actress Maxine Peake joins the walk this year, as vice-president of the hospice and as a dedicated supporter of all its much-needed work. She is a brilliant and practical ambassador.

I bet, though, she will also enjoy a great time at this special event, and that there will be plenty of laughs along the way. Join the walkers to support the hospice and to share the fun on bolton.hospice.org.uk/mmw
