Walton-on-Thames businesses from solicitors Howell Jones, estate agents Arthur Samuel and car dealership Withams to Ted Palmer Photographer and opticians Carmelo Castiglione will also join in the family fun with freebies, competitions and fund-raising. The WBG will also be handing out goody bags once again.
