Walking in Partnership!
Millets in Petersfield played host to local walkers at a fun promotional evening on Wednesday 14th April. People interested in the benefits of walking met up with members of Natural England, Walking for Health and EHDC to share experiences, get advice and take advantage of discounted clothing and equipment from the store.
Natural England have recently undertaken a joint marketing campaign with Millets Outdoor Store throughout the UK and as a result of this, the local Petersfield Store decided to offer the Walking for Health leaders and their walkers a special promotional evening.
Assistant Manager, Roo, suggested the event to Louise Christie, Active Lifestyle Co-ordinator at EHDC and they worked together to organise the successful evening.
Louise Christie said, “The turnout was fantastic, with lots of walker and leaders all enjoying the 25% discount offered by the store. It was also a great opportunity for a get together. There was a lovely atmosphere.
Millets provided nibbles and refreshments and Roo, baked a lovely cake for the walkers with great attention to detail by adorning it with some lovely walking footprints! She went over and above what she needed to do and this was much appreciated by everyone.”
Tim Norris the Store Manager at Millets said “The evening was beyond our expectations and really very good for us and we thoroughly enjoyed having the group here and would love to do it again in the future”.
