A SPONSORSHIP agreement between the Roman Middlewich Project and Pochin was cemented at a meeting in the town last week.

Pochin have agreed to sponsor the mosaic weekend which will kick off the project on September 15.

Jane Weir, a co-ordinator of the project said the confirmation of the sponsorship was excellent news but that further sponsors are still needed.

The project is to feature a workshop in which people can create clay tiles which will eventually form part of a Roman column.

This column will then form part of the permanent exhibition in the town.

At present the workshop has no sponsor and Jane is urging any businesses or individuals who are interested in contributing to a permanent reminder of the town's heritage to contact her on 01606 836336.
