What a brave thing to do – and this looks like a cracking night out. Please support Andy Penn and pop along to The Shoulder this Friday! it’s all for Birmingham Children’s Hospital…

I was contacted a while ago by a very brave local lad, Andy Penn, who’s undertaking a 10,000ft tandem skydive in aid of Birmingham Children’s Hospital in March – and this Friday (27th February 2015) Andy has organised a great fundraising evening at the Shoulder of Mutton pub in Church Road, Brownhills.

Andy told me:

Hi Bob

On 28th march this year, I am doing a 10,000ft tandem skydive in aid of Birmingham Children’s Hospital.

I’m a local lad and I have been getting loads of support from a lot of people in and around Brownhills. The fundraising is going well but as I want to raise as much as I possibly can I am holding a fundraiser at The Shoulder of Mutton in Brownhills on Friday 27th February.

I have a live singer and dico booked, I will be having a Football memorabilia auction with signed items from Aston Villa, Walsall, Wolves, and England all going under the hammer.

There will be raffle tickets and football cards going round with some great prizes to be won. And there will also be a barbecue2 with burgers and cheese burgers being sold at just £2 each.

I have facebook page and donation website dedicated to the cause and I have been getting a slow trickle of followers.

I would be massively grateful if you would be willing to help me promote the fundraiser. please do not hesitate to message me for any futher information you may need, I thank you in advance

Andy Penn

My very best wishes to Andy on a very brave and selfless charity effort – and this looks to be a great community night out that should be well worth popping along to.

I shall follow Andy’s progress on the blog in the coming weeks.

The Shoulder of Mutton is a popular community pub in the heart of Brownhills going from strength to strength in the last 12 months and this charity event will be well worth checking out.
