Visitors to the Wrekin on the evening of Friday August 27 are invited to "Roary's BBQ Party", held at the Halfway House in aid of Telford Tigers ice hockey club.

The event, from 7pm, costs £2.50 for adults, with children under 16 admitted free. Food is included in the price, but guests are invited to bring their own drinks.

The party has been organised by Paul Kalinauckas of the Shropshire, Telford and Wrekin Co-operative Party, with support from Tom Bolger of Halfway House, and will be attended by Roary, the Telford Tigers popular mascot.

There will be transport from the foot of the Wrekin for those unable to make the walk to the Halfway House.

Telford Tigers are poised to start their first season owned and managed by a co-operative of supporters, with their opening home fixture on Sunday September 12 at Telford Ice Rink.
