High-flying prize at children’s party

Oct 24 2008 by Laurie Stocks-Moore, Chester Chronicle

FUNDRAISERS are going sky high to raise money for needy children.

The Children in Need event at Tarporley Community Centre on Sunday, November 1, will be opened in style as – weather permitting – Pudsey himself will arrive in an open- topped car.

Organiser Kay Drewitt, who runs an aerial photography business with her partner, has arranged a prize to remember.

The couple own a Cessna 172 high-winged light aircraft and will take the winner on a half-hour flight over Tarporley, or wherever they live.

Kay, who is advertising the event in Tarvin, Kelsall and surrounding parishes, said: “We’ll fill the community centre with activities. We have a photographer so children can have their photograph taken with Pudsey.

“Pudsey will drive around the village surrounded by balloons.”

For a chance to win a flight, turn up on November 1 at 1.30pm.
