STRONG armed borough folk are being asked to turn out and take part in a tug of war contest at the Friends of Wollescote Park Spring Fair this Saturday.

The event takes place at the Wollescote Road park from 11am to 3pm and organisers are looking for people and teams to take part in the competition which is one of the highlights.

Other attractions include Morris dancing, bowls, storytelling, river monsters, British Military Fitness and a host of games and activities.

There will also be representatives from Lye Historical Society, Dudley Mind, and Lye and Wollescote Cemetery Chapels on hand.

Anyone interested in taking place in the tug of war or able to donate raffle and tombola prizes can contact Craig Lees on 07852 900237.
