THE Weaverham Russet Revels are inviting teams to enter a Highland Games competition on Saturday, August 19, on Lakehouse Field.

Highland dress is optional at the games which will include a tug of war, assault course, tossing the caber and hurling the stone.

There will also be a bar, barbecue, hot pot supper and raffle, as well as children's games.

Mixed teams of five people can enter the competition which starts at 2pm and costs £2 per person, with events for children up to the age of 16, starting at 10am.

For more information ring 01606 852318 or 852624.

Russet Revels' committee members are warning residents not to give any money to children who approach them asking for sponsorship for the games, after a number of forms were stolen from the community centre.

They are urging people to agree to sponsor someone only if they have the correct form which has been signed by a committee member.
