Arsenal footy gives charity ball a boost

A FOOTBALL signed by Arsenal players is to be auctioned to help sick children.

The autographed ball is the latest donation to the Kiddywinks Charity Ball, which takes place next Saturday at the Radisson Edwardian Hotel, Heathrow, in aid of Wycombe Hospital's children's ward.

Ball organiser Alison Banham said: "It really is a marvellous donation and has been given to us by a gentleman who wants to remain anonymous.

"It could potentially raise us a lot of money indeed because not only are Arsenal the league winners but they may do the double on the day of the ball."

To place your bid for the signed football contact Julia Nott-Macaire on (01494) 816474.
