About The Guild
The Guild was formed in 1981 from guides who had completed the training course. To acknowledge the City Council’s help, our badge has Mayor’s Guide on it.
During the autumn and winter months we meet for lectures and conviviality. We have an annual visit to another town to learn from their guided walks, as well as a lunch for members and friends. We are a voluntary organisation: our income is used to promote the Guild and to fund our insurance. Our officers are elected on a rotational system.
