Paddock Wood has been a huge help with fundraising for the 2010 Battle at the Border (all money raised from Paddock Wood fundraisers will be used for flights for our featured players). If you want to return the favour, pick up a 6-pack of one of Paddock's brews next time you come across it. If you don't have any in your area, simply ask your local LB to bring some in. |
