Walsall hotel offers ultimate World Cup gift for Father's Day

 
The winner of the Village Hotel Walsall’s Father’s Day competition will get the best seats to watch England World Cup games in the TV, to hopefully watch a repeat of the 1966 triumph

Football mad dads will have the chance to win one of the best seats to watch the World Cup outside of South Africa and all the armchair treats at a Walsall hotel, as part of Father’s Day.

The Village Hotel in Walsall is offering deserving dads the best seat in the house with their own sofa in front of new 63 inch TV screen, installed as part of a £30,000 refurbishment of the hotel’s bar, for all of England’s group C games around Father’s Day.

A WEST Bromwich hotel is hoping to make up for the town’s sad lack of pool facilities by offering children a free swim during the school holidays.

InnAction, the leisure centre at the Park Inn Hotel, Birmingham West, in Birmingham Road, is inviting parents to take their youngsters along during half-term, and in line with the Government’s free swimming initiative – there will be no charge for under-16s.

WE have so many people to thank for their support for the Hollywood Ball held last weekend. It was a brilliant night, with more than £6,000 raised to help villagers from Cheslyn Hay and Great Wyrley support some of Africa's most vulnerable people.

The money raised - an “astounding amount” according to organisers  -- will help fund hands-on work by volunteers to help children affected by Aids.

Party-goers enjoyed a performance by X Factor star Faye Bray and an auction from Wedding SOS presenter Jane Dayus-Hinch at the bash at Cannock’s Ramada Hotel on behalf of the Link4Life project.
