Each entry will cost £2 and all profits will go towards Priory Pools Community Centre's campaign to build a new Community Centre in the Packmores area of Warwick.

Priory Pools Community Centre is a new charity set up to fundraise for and build a new Community Centre in the Packmores, and Reverend Canon Angus Aagaard, the Rector of St Mary's Church, is one of their Trustees.
