WALLING lessons are being offered in Kirklees.

The West Yorkshire branch of the Dry Stone Walling Association is running a dry stone walling taster day on Sunday, December 6, between 9.30am and 1pm.

Dry stone walling experts will be passing on some of the skills needed for the country craft.

Places must be booked in advance by contacting Paul, tel: 01484 845219, or Roger, tel: 01422 257020. Details of the venue will be given on booking.

The course is free but due to a minority of people not taking up places they have booked, a returnable deposit of £10 is required.

Further dry stone walling courses are being held monthly in the new year.

Dates are Sundays January 10, February 7, March 7 and April 6.

Booking details as before.

All the courses are being run in partnership with Kirklees Council and

are part of the award-winning Upper Colne Valley Dry Stone Walling project.
