IF you go down in the woods next month - well Wollaston at least - there will be teddy bears on parade.

The teddies will be taking pride of place at Wollaston Community Centre's Christmas Fayre, which is scheduled for Saturday December 6.

Committee member Brenda Wilshaw has been collecting the teddies to offer them as prizes instead of the more traditional tombola items.

She has collected more than 60 bears in all colours, shapes and sizes.

She said: "I thought a teddy bear would make a lovely prize with Christmas coming. I do hope people will come along, buy a ticket and give one of the bears a loving home."

The fayre, which takes place at the Community Centre's Bridgnorth Road headquarters, starts at 1pm and will include stalls selling traditional crafts and cakes.

All funds raised will help support the centre's running costs.
