A Lee Historic Walk and Talk was also held on Sunday 12th June -
Gosport's Big Day Out that was part of the Celebrate Gosport Fortnight. Several walkers attended despite the very poor wether condition and the feed back was positive.General view was the Talk was very informative and the many of events that had taken place in Lee over the last 130 years or so, were found to be of great interest. The Walk and Talk was, despite the weather very enjoyable,and it was good to meet up with others with similar interests. Some of walkers have been living in Lee
for less than 2 years
