The Walsall Advertiser and Sutton Observer's Sport Editor Michael Beardmore and his fiancee Joanne recently entered a competition to win a free wedding at a Ramada Hotel in a Birmingham Mail competition - and have made the final shortlist of 13!
There is a wedding supplement in today's (Tuesday 25th August's) Mail which features themselves along with 12 other finalist couples.
They need your votes because only one couple can win!! The lines are open now until noon this Friday (the 28th).
There are two ways to vote for them:
1) You can call 0901 229 2401 and key in their number (008 or 0008) when prompted.
2) Or it is probably easier to text. Send a text to 84080 with the following message BMVOTE3 followed by a space and then the four digit code 0008 followed by your name, address and postcode.
Calls cost 25p and texts cost 25p plus your standard text rate so I hope it's not too much to ask!
You can text/call more than once for this and Michael says "it would make our year if we could win! "
Since Michael has taken over the region's Sport Editorial at the Sutton Observer (my local paper) he has covered the regions sport fantastically well, and in appreciation, if we could all send just one text in thanks, we could reward good reporting!
It's not easy being a sports reporter, it is quite a balancing act, but in my opinion as a reader, he covers sport of all levels, from the grass roots to the not so fashionable (football, rugby, tennis and our local BTCC driver) just what you want to see in your local newspaper! Local papers, reporting on local sport. Following the sporting achievements of local people!
We wish him and Joanne well in their competition .....
