Auction takes star slot at Shropshire village fun day

Rodington Charity Fun Day will be held in the village hall on May 20 for the second year.

Last year a team of organisers raised £2,500 to be split between Midlands Air Ambulance and Rodington Church.

This year the funds will go towards Hope House and Rodington Church.

A number of items will be auctioned off on the day including a signed Wolves shirt, signed football and signed goalkeeper gloves, a signed Everton shirt, a signed West Brom shirt, and tickets to Cheltenham races.

One of the organisers, Graham Davies, said: "There are lots of things up for grabs, such as beauty treatments and services businesses have donated.

"We've had a hamper made up which we will be selling raffle tickets for at Wellington Market from next week at The Cheese Store.

"We're hoping it's going to be a big event, we're hoping for about 500 people, which is a lot for a tiny village.

"We've got lots going on on the day. We don't have a target amount we'd like to raise, we'd just like to raise as much as possible. We've got a tug-of-war competition which we want people to come along and take part in.

"It'll be a big fun day for everyone. Sometimes with fun days there's not enough to do but we're trying to do a bit more and have fun with it."
