Beach 6 - and it’s catching

Despite the mixed response to Birmingham’s summer of five (? sorry, genuinely lost count now) land-locked beaches - guess what?

That’s right, the Rugby Football Union are brining Beach rugby to Birmingham in Centenary Square. Those that fancy cauliflower ears, odd shaped balls AND sand between them should pop along on Wednesday 15 August.

Rest assured though it will include Punch and Judy, live singing groups, face painters, “animal” balloon makers, small fairground rides, *donkey rides* (yay!) and Halesowen sticks of rock.
