Friend of Jamie, and an organiser, Peter Rowley said: "He was a good mate, and he originally started the charity fishing match. I asked his wife if I could take over in his memory.

"There's always room for a few more competitors, and the day will include a raffle draw, as well as prizes."

The charity match takes place at Yew Tree Fisheries, Neston, on Saturday, May 20, and entry is £15. Those interested in taking part can find details on Facebook - jamie-lloyd-hughes memorial fishing match.

The Cinnamon Trust is the only national charity for older people, the terminally ill and their pets. A network of 18,000 volunteers "hold hands" with owners to provide vital loving care for their pets. The Trust helps keep them together - for example, by walking a dog for a housebound owner, fostering pets when owners need hospital care, fetching the cat food, or even cleaning out a bird cage.

They aim to have a friendly gathering of volunteers and furry friends at each Big Walk location and spread the word about their work. Those unable to manage a walk are more than welcome to gather to chat or simply get their daily doggy fix at the chosen location.

For more details about the walk or The Cinnamon Trust, visit cinnamon.org.uk/thebigwalk or get in touch with The Big Walk team on 01736 758 701 or email bigwalk@cinnamon.org.uk
