ON Saturday, Durham Pointers came out of hibernation to take a stall in Durham Market Place to promote our role as Durham City's mobile signposting service and to recruit more people to join us for the new season as we extend our volunteering role to Saturday and Sunday.

I would like to thank the Pointers who prepared and manned the stall, talked to visitors and passed on information about events on what was a lively but cold day. We have recruited some excellent new volunteers.

Thanks also to the visitors who came and talked to us at the map and at our very pink stall.

The new season begins in mid-May and runs till the end of September.

Any reader wishing to know more about Durham Pointers, and what we do, is welcome to get in touch by ringing 0191 384 6153 or 07582 332 621 or emailing info@durhampointers.co.uk, or visiting our
