On the Day of Jewish Culture on 7 September, 2008, JTrails launched walking tours of Lincoln with three guides and JTrails Director, Marcus Roberts, and around 60 participants, including Gilliam Mellon, MP for Lincoln and a government junior minister.The walk was a great success and Gilliam Mellon, MP joined our tours.
The guides were of a high standard and included the Secretary of the Lincoln Jewish Community and one of the leading Green Badge guides of Lincoln, who completed some 50-60 hours of training for the role. A further 4 guides are in preparation at present and we are very pleased at the considerable support provided by the Lincoln Jewish Community.
