SUN, sea and sand beckons for the lucky residents heading off to the coast for one of the town's annual Blackpool trips.

The Rotary Club of Bromsgrove still has a few place left on its three trips to the seaside for August.

A coach load of Bromsgrove's older residents will fill three adjacent hotels for the one week breaks at the cost of £228 for couples or £134 for singles.

This is the 18th year the Rotarians have organised the trips, which leave from Bromsgrove Golf Club, Stratford Road, at around 9.15am.

All rooms are en-suite and the price includes breakfast and an evening meal. Applicants must be able to cope with at least one flight of stairs.

If you would like to join one of the three separate trips, which leave Bromsgrove on August 1, 8 or 15, call Peter Hill on 01527 873771 or 07855 434592.
