Full Monty fundraiser

FOUR men from the Ellesmere Port area are to bare all in a fun night fundraiser.

Their Full Monty routine, recreating the famous scene from the 1997 film, is part of the charity night in Whitby Sports and Social Club, Chester Road, on Friday, November 6, beginning at 7pm.

The fundraiser is in aid of the Multiple Sclerosis Society, and features a charity auction, cabaret and disco, while comic Eddie Archer will also make an appearance.

Tickets, priced £5, are available from Ronnie on 0151 200 2642.

BUS company Arriva North West is appealing for passionate people and dedicated bus-users in Chester to apply to become official bus ambassadors.

Arriva wants people to volunteer their opinions and accounts of Arriva buses and bus travel in general, on the Arriva website.

The successful applicants will have their own profile and case study on the site, and receive a free four-week ticket to get them started in their new role.

To get involved, visit www.arrivabus.co.uk/busambassadors and say why you could represent the company. The closing date is Sunday, October 18.
