A ROCK pub is to celebrate the launch of Operation Covert with a bang on Guy Fawkes night.

The Duke William, on the A456 at Callow Hill, is to host a bonfire and fireworks display next Friday, with proceeds towards our appeal.

Hot food will be served at the event, which will also feature a rodeo-style "bucking bronco" machine.

Landlord, Phil Lyndon, said: "We think it is a worthy cause and if we can raise a couple of hundred quid then it will have been very worthwhile."

The event begins at 7pm. Admission is free and donations to Operation Covert will be welcomed.
