McCain Track and Field Road Show

A little bird tells me that there's a great way of getting your kids more interested in athletics. Tomorrow, Saturday the 4th July, McCain and UK Athletics are holding an event in Victoria Square between 11am and 4pm.

There will be lots of activities to get involved in, such as jumping, throwing, sprinting and reaction testing, all led by top athletes and coaches.

I've had a look at the website and sporting heroes such as Sally Gunnell, Marilyn Okoro and Steph Twell will be in attendance, to inspire potential young athletes and encourage everyone to support local athletic events.

Looks like they've got a nutritional boff there too, to tell you the best fuel to put into your little sports stars for optimum results! (If she advises three courses of McCain oven chips a day, assume that she's biased!)

Go check it out - it's free and fun and there's not much else going on in Brum apart from...

Kings Heath Festival!

There is so much going on in Kings Heath tomorrow it's untrue. As well as the Farmer's Market that always takes place on the first Saturday of every month, there's a great big party, covering the length and breadth of the High Street!!

There will be shows, demonstrations, stalls and catering by the Kitchen Garden Café amongst many other things.

There will be lots and lots for tots to see and do all day long - but don't listen to me, go and check out the website http://www.kingsheathfestival.co.uk/2009/id17.html

It's definitely worth a look.
