FOOTY fanatics from far and wide are expected to flock to a soccer bonanza at a village school in Bromsgrove on Friday night.

Balls signed by stars from The Blues and Wolves, plus World Cup memorabilia and other interesting items, will come under the hammer at an auction at Stoke Prior First School.

The sale is being organised by Stoke Prior First School Association to raise money to buy a new TV and video equipment.

Also on offer among the 24 lots will be books, programmes, stamps and the chance to bid for seats for a Villa or Wolves match. There will also be a pair of tickets to watch Bromsgrove Rovers.

The sale will also have a swops table, quiz, picture board and kits for sale.

Doors open at the Ryefields Road school at 7pm and the auction is due to start 30 minutes later. Entrance is by ticket, on sale on the door, adults £1 to include a drink, children free.

Also on Friday pupils at the school will pay 50p to don their favourite team's shirts when they take part in Strip 4 Shelter, a national one-day campaign to raise money for the homeless.
